I need to shave daily, if I'm going to keep up with it, if I go a 3rd day, I've pretty much turned the corner & begun growing a beard. . .(I have that most  often, as I'm inherently lazy in things that don't give immediate benefit;  revealing my chubby cheeks doesn't count in that number)

I have 3 'combs' (I know they have another name -- guards?) & hopefuly I can  figure out how to attach them rightly. . .

I have one of those one-handed electric ball shavers for my skull, but my hair  grows too thickly even in one day to use it well.

We had same, but farther out, in the big city, $6 for a men's cut, but they  don't do men'sa any more (not enough interest, & too few students do that add- on to their hairdressing/beautician course); probably cheaper for seniors, &  free if you're selected to be a model (test case for a supervised student donig an exam)

I had that once.  Was another private school used to give free cuts (none of  that during covid that I can tell); they're he ones that Justin Trudeau always  stopped in at when in Vancouver for a $400 cut/style!

I used to advertise that one in my local Freecycle group to get them more 
'models.'

Schools don't want me now that I prefer my pate to be utterly nude.
