Hi,

I want to cut my own hair and get an affordable but decent scissors to do it. I’m wondering if I can get something that I could use for both my head hair and my beard? And if so, what would you recommend?

PS is there a better place to post this? Haha

    In the United States, at least: There are retail stores - brick and mortar, I know! - where various “beauty supplies” are sold. Find one where they sell hair bleach etc. They will also sell hair shears.

    I got the second-cheapest set they sold, for around $25. For our amateur purposes, these student-hairdresser-grade shears are more than adequate.

    I cut my own hair probably 6-9 times a year, and those shears are still the sharpest things I own, fifteen years later.

    (Shears are actually really specific cutting tools. Mine have only ever cut hair, which I credit for their long life)
