You mean “the covid”? It’s funny how that became the default for so many guys.
I just stopped cutting it. My sister gave me a trim back in February.
I decided to beat genetics to the punch and went full chrome-dome.

I went full shag with mine (other than that annoying balding spot… but I wasn’t going out, so who cares). True aging 1970’s rock star grow out, it was glorious, as was the beard I grew for the first few months until I got tired of it and shaved again.

I have had a large beard for many years. COVID has been a cycle of cutting it short to remove mask damage. Then growing it back out. Repeat.
So that was probably the right call.

I got mine cut 15 days after my second shot… Ah, those days of optimism.

I lived my 20s and most of my 30s doing the “just don’t cut it, tie it back” look.

Eat yer heart out, Flowbee.
We have done home haircuts for decades over here.
Fast, cheap, and after the first few rounds, pretty good.
This is what we use:
We use oil on the blades every single time. It makes a big difference especially for blade life. Recurring expenses are just the bottles of oil and new blades.
I use this on our crosscut shredder as well. Metal blades are metal blades.

Yeah, I got the COVID Cut, because it is easy enough to take a trimmer to the sides and back, but not to cut my own top so it looks like anything other than a decrepit vacant lot
Sorta… its longer on top and straight back.
Yeah the big beard and the mask thing are a tough act to deal with. I’ve started using N95 masks and they are a lot more snug fitting. Here’s the thing that I really hate though. With a white mask on over my bushy beard it looks a lot like a diaper on a Pomeranians ass. Woof!

I use neck gaiters with ear loops on em. Either on its own or doubled up with a standard medical mask.

My hair is the longest I’ve ever had it. Reviews have been positive so might as well keep this train rolling.

I haven’t cut mine since the pandemic started either.
Or for the 30 years before that come to think of it.

I had a trim too. I think it was 1991. Because my mum made me. My last shave was shortly after. This whole COVID thing has just been a bunch of people moving in on my look. Which is okay, I think it’s a good look and there’s plenty to go around.

Hair: every 4 to 6 weeks on the #4 setting. Exactly as for the 15 odd years before Covid.
Covid beard: once a week on the #3 setting.
Covid beard is on probation - my SO says it suits me and looks good. But as we haven’t been closer than 900 km for the last 18 months the real test is still pending; she is a bit ticklish in places.
