Like I said, I still have enough hair that I can pull off the "full head of hair" thing, as long as I keep it less than maybe 3" long at the longest point. If I try to wear it longer than that, there just isn't enough hair to pull it off, and I look like some kind of dork preparing for a really bad combover of some kind.

I accept the fact that even at this time, I might be giving myself too much credit for head hair.
You completely misunderstand my post.

I was talking about hair length and how long you can get away without a cut. Wasn't talking at all about coverage. I still have all my hair.

If one has extremely short hair like I do it looks goofy in a couple weeks. As in it's obvious you're overdue for a cut. If one has longer hair it takes months before it starts to look goofy (assuming it was properly cut and styled to begin with).

I've done both a 1 and a 2 with my own clippers. As long as you go every possible direction a few times, it's as good as what you pay for.

Ask her. She may just appreciate a few bucks...

On Friday night, we ordered takeout from a local mom/pop Italian food joint. Because of they lock down, their dining room is closed, so they're doing takeout. The we very appreciative of us placing an order. And yes, I tipped as if we had been dining there.

The Mrs. has cut mine for the last 30 years. Three times a year whether I want her to or not. I might raise a mullet but you need hair up top to get the effect... not happening for this guy.

I think I'll shave my head, and buy a mullet wig. Or maybe a big afro wig, something unusual.
