Razor. The thing I miss about a salon cut...
I had the same stylist for more than a decade. I followed her when she moved to another salon... twice. Since the coronavirus closure, I haven't gone back to a salon. My 'new' stylist has more than 20 years experience with only one client. Her son.Little to no option, I decided it was best to have a homestyle haircut.
It's only hair and thankfully, mine grows quickly as the style I received was the one given to a young man for so many years!
I did get one comment 'nice haircut' that surprised me and I'm up to cut number four now with adjustments where I no longer panic to see the finished work. My stylist has added new style to her repertoire. She's happy and I'm happy too.
I did toss out a bunch of non-working razors when I moved earlier this year. It's time to invest in one that will last a while as scissor only cut doesn't allow for trimming neck and ear hair.
Letting it grow was a consideration. 10 years is enough to get to the middle of my back!

It's easier to use than shown in the ad -
No problem doing self-barbering even without using a mirror.
It (still!) uses standard double edge blades for a bona fide razor cut @ 'bout 10ç/cut. Over the years & generations it may've given $10s-Of-Thousands worth of haircuts.
It inspired Daughter to take up Family Barbering, so she's passing the skill/tradition on to Mom's great grandkids.
Daughter prefers electric clippers.
Also, the gizmo's no longer made (Danged if I know Why!!) & I ain't parting with it!!
Daughter can Wait & get it in the Will.
Mom's getting one Helluva return on her $2.99 Investment, now that I think 'bout it.
I cannot recall any stylist chipping at the layers as they cut like that guy shows.
