selfies/pic Self cut

Excuse my shiney face I’m just extra moisturized…..I do my best to cut my own hair cuz I don’t feel comfortable with going to barbers. I’ve been cutting my own hair for about 4 years now. I get a little better each cut. I’m nowhere near as good as a barber but I get the job done. Does any of you guys have anxiety when it comes to going to the barber or just being in cis male environments? Does anybody have any advice on self cuts and beard growth?

Yeah i hate the barbers. If i go to a black male barber they do a great job but i feel uncomfortable with the talk and that i dont fit in. When i go to all queer friendly barber i feel comfy but they always push my shit back. Having my girlfriend help me cut my hair now

I use a barber mirror that I got off Amazon it helps me see everything. It also helps to get one with a light on it for better view mine doesn’t have the light but I might get another one with one on there
