Lending Hair Clippers

Very Bored

A neighbour of mine has just asked me can she lend my hair clippers to cut her son's hair. I don't want to seem mean but, I don't know, it seems a bit gross to me. I mean, I wouldn't ask her to loan me her toothbrush.

Would ye lend things like hair clippers out? Or would ye be grossed out?

Neither a bender or a borrower be.

I have an image of some poor young fellow being restrained in a chair while the pudding bowl comes out and he gets the short back and sides. Though maybe that's a fashion statement now.

Borrow would be correct so it would, to be sure, but I was using her words so I was.

Not any barbers I've been too unless it's very quiet, if busy- quick shake/brush and on to the next customer...,

They may very well have what you describe. I've never seen them actually use it.

They went out with the Indians.

They are less than €20 in TK Maxx or Argos.

I would be more worried, that she is just being a cheap skate and is actually manscaping her husband.

What is it that the barber actually sterilises? Is it the combs or is it the actual clipper itself? I cut my hair to a grade one so if barbers only sterilise the combs then she can lend away. At least, I'm guessing she doesn't want to cut her four year old's hair so close he ends up looking like a member of the Hitler Youth lol.

Didn't they used to take the top of the head off as well? Not much repeat business there I'd say...

The OP could just tell her that he uses the clippers for a bit of manscaping himself and they can agree to never speak of hair clippers again!

OP I don't see the big deal here at all. Just wash the clippers when you get them back, if you're cocnerned.

I'm thinking of borrowing some clippers and shaving my entire head of hair this evening. I'm growing a beard and I want to see what the combo looks like. How long does it take to regrow, say, 3 cms of hair? I have a big wedding in early September, don't want to go like a convict.

Is the neighbour still waiting for the answer while you ask for advice on boards.

I've shaved my head a few times in my teens and early twenties. Did make me look like something out of a concentration camp, but so easy to keep. Allow 6 weeks give or take a few days, if it's 3cm you usually wear it.

Average person's hair grows an average of 15 cm/year. So it could take 6-12 weeks.

If you do shave it, keep track of the length and let me know! I'm curious.

She asked me on Facebook. She can wait.

So I can pretty much gather from the posts here that I am just being squeamish.

Now how to handle the fact that I think she's the type that when you lend her something you never see it again.

Ask her does she want your bottle of nit treatment also..

I'd personally have no issue with lending a hair clippers. What's the worst that you'd get back? The worst thing I can think of is nits and it's a pair of blades, not a cloth. It's not like you can't wash them. I wouldn't share a toothbrush, but hair clippers are fine as far as I'm concerned.

Not much choice with the first one, you either are or are not.:)

if you think you wont get them back, don't lend them to her. Tell her you were testing it out before you gave it to her and found out it is broke. let her go buy one, it will do her for years.
