I retired in 2015 and since then I have clippered my hair using the no1 blade about every two weeks and have not shaved my beard. Hence I now look like gandalf the grey with bald head.
Here in the UK most high streets I visit have been unudated with barbers shops over recent years and in my local high street alone, which is about 3/4 mile in length, has seven barber shops. All of my local barbers are either Turkish, Bulgarian or from that region of the world, There is one Iranian Barber too. They charge between £8.00 to £15.00 for a quick trim. No scissor work just clippers and comb.
When I was a younger man and working in a professional psychotherapeutic environment I was expected to be fairly smart and presentable at work.
Barbers were a rare beast when I was young and most of my friends and I used a hairdressers, which were scissors only hairdressers. Hair cuts back then were £20-£30 which I did every month or so.
