Hello!
I'm 26 and started balding on the top around 18. I'm quite thin now on the top that I need to shave really short from now on, and it seems logical to just do it myself now.
My typical haircut has been a buzz cut: #3 around, #4 around crown, #6 on top. I don't know much about hair styles, but the stylist said it would make it so I wouldn't have to get a haircut so often if I blended it that way. Is that the only advantage, or does that just make it look better than, say, a #3 all around? Basically, I want to try a #3 all around, and then maybe try #2 or less.
Anyway, I use a Philips Norelco QT4070 for my face.. I'm assuming this won't cut it (get it?)
What then should I purchase? I've read there's debate about ceramic and stainless steel -- is one definitely better, or is it personal preference?
Are there any thorough tutorials, perhaps with video, that someone could link me? The hard part seems to be getting the back of your neck -- does the baseball cap trick work, or is there a better way?
Sorry for so many questions, I don't want to mess up! Thanks!
