A beard trimmer. Shaving sucks and irritates my skin, plus I look like a baby without facial hair. But that’s only one benefit.
I have been using a beard trimmer to cut my own hair for the last 10 years which has saved me probably $2000 worth of haircuts (estimating a $25 haircut + tip every 2 months). Not to mention saving about 1 hour waiting at the barber every time. I only messed up once and had to do a buzz cut.
Don’t get a beard trimmer and also use it on your hair; get a hair trimmer and also use it on your beard. Specifically, get the kind that comes with an assortment of combs up to 1" (and then maybe even buy the 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" combs that are sold separately, too).
So you just buzz cut your entire hair essentially? I did that once and looked like a serial rapist
Buzz cut was only once because I messed up. Usually I do a trim, short on the sides and back and longer on top. It’s easier than it sounds - I just use a smaller mirror along with the bathroom mirror to see the back.
Agreed with almost every single part of your post. I have done the same thing for last few years. BUT I’m growing my hair out now that I’m retired and I am gonna be a hippie. Still use the beard trimmer daily tho!

Only of you do it wrong, or you want to look like a serial rapist.
If you have a simple cut/style all it takes is a little practice to DIY.
It only takes a few minutes of YouTube videos before you can do a passable men’s haircut.
I cut my own hair during the pandemic and never went back to paying for it.
Same, saving way more than I’d have guessed. I go for buzzing, but I’m nearly bald on top anyways, so it just looks cleaner.

I’m sure it’s preferable to looking like a baby with facial hair
