I became frustrated with the poor performance of domestic clippers, babyliss and some nicky clarke ceramic bladed numbers iirc. Got some Wahl Super Tapers now and they are the business. Only 35 quid.

Grade 2 is the only way to go, you soon get used to it - after 2 weeks it looks long!!

I use the bare clippers or occasionally a No 1, but I'd recommend starting on the longest attachment as it will feel quite strange if you go straight from hair to bare.
After a few cuts you'll be ok with going shorter, at least that's how it worked for me.

My clippers (Remington) are marked in mm
mine too.

I tried cutting my own hair once, the bleedin' shaver got stuck in what can only be described as barbed wire on my head. My wife intervened with a pair of blunt scissors and I ended up looking like a pineapple. Next day at the cafe in Hebden I kept my hat on until a so called friend removed it and the whole of Hebden had a good belly laugh. Final result was a mate called round after the days ride and shaved the lot off.

Barber gave me a tip to deal with going bald.
He said it looks bad if your hair is visibly thick vs thin in different places. e.g. thin on top and thick at the back and sides like mine.
So he does the back and sides at #3/4 then cuts the top short so it stands up with some volume. Thickness then looks visually even all over.

For a while I'd do my head on a no. 1 (Oxford summer hols, training in the gym/boathouse every afternoon)
then when I saw old ladies crossing the road to avoid me, I stepped back to a no. 2.
I'm now (hopefully) in the fuzzy-yet-cuddly stage of baldness rather than straight THUG.

Triple bladed shaving action everytime!
Take two bottles into the shower? No I just shave and go.
