Pro tip: my barber talked me out of the $120 clippers and it saved me a year of regret
Was about to drop $120 on a pro clipper set last month because I figured it'd pay for itself after 3 haircuts. My barber Marcus said he sees guys bring those in all the time after they nick themselves once and quit, so I just kept paying him $25 every 6 weeks instead. Anyone here actually stuck with DIY haircuts past the first two tries?

Wait though, the math doesn't really work the way you're saying. If you pay Marcus $25 every 6 weeks, that's about $217 a year, so those $120 clippers would actually pay for themselves in under 4 haircuts, not the 3 you mentioned plus a year of regret. The real thing that saved you money wasn't keeping Marcus, it was Marcus talking you out of buying something you'd quit using. Sounds like he knew you'd bail after one nick, which is fair, most guys do. But the guys who actually stick with it aren't saving a little money, they're saving like $200 a year once they get past that hump.
