i cut my own hair and it looks pretty decent, i think. if you have curly hair or vaguely curly hair, it's pretty easy. the straighter the hair the harder the task.

i do have curly-ish hair, and on second and third glance, it's doing a pretty good job of covering up the horrors i just sowed on it. as for going bald, i just don't have the ears for it. i think i'd look like dumbo!

my friend nicole (straight hair) cut her hair while she was drunk. it looks AWFUL. so as long as yr sober/have good vision, you should be okay.

My plan was to have wifey buzz my hair, a drastic change from the shoulder-length Jesus-cut I had. I was scheduled to borrow the buzzer from a friend at work, but the night before, I stepped out of the shower and decided to make the next day's job easier by cutting a bit of it myself. Impulsively and stupidly, I chopped off large chunks, leaving bald spots trying to even it out.
Wifey literally gasped in horror when she saw what I had done, and we had to make an emergency trip to my mom's house so that we could bic my head bald, while an audience of disgusted sisters scolded and lectured.
It's grown out nicely since then, I'm sorta heading for a combed-back gangster look now, tho it's still a bit too short to be trained, so it sorta looks like the 'messy' short haircut popular with the kids today (think Nate Fisher from Six Feet Under).
The lesson - if you are a man, have straight hair, and poor judgement, pay the money and get a decent haircut - or let a girl cut it for you.

I was trying to get rid of a mullet-in-the-making. Thought a quick pass with the trimmer would do it, but every snip made the thing more complicated.
In the end, no bald patches, luckily, but it still looks pretty ridiculous: uneven curls falling over the freshly-shaved, stubbly bits at the very bottom, if that makes any sense. Not terrible, but it will definitely be turned over to barber and/or girlfriend asap.
