About a month or so ago after lockdown I purchased a Remington Rapid Cut Pro for the obvious reason of not being able to go to the barber and getting your hair cut.

 

I used it for the 1st time today and I was very happy with it.,

 

It is nice and easy to hold-chunky in fact. it  comes with 12 hair guides.

 

Easy to use by yourself-go against the grain.

 

I initially tried a #3 but went to a #2 as is my usual nymber at the hair dresser.

 

Partner just helped me tidy up the back hair line.

 

It ewas on special at HN for $89 from almost x2 the price.

 

I think it will pay for itself in a few months.

 

The back line is definitely the hardest part to get right on your own, but can be doable with a bit of practice. I find the safest way is to cut the whole head at the length you want first, then put a shorter comb on/make the cutting length shorter and then go upwards from the bottom until a certain height, pulling away from the head when you get there. An even shorter comb for final tidying up, to a lower line on the head to finish up. 
I'm very blond, so minor mistakes tend not to be that visible - YMMV if you have darker hair.
