Do you shave the sides of your head yourself? - Because I fail

Just curious. Do you do it yourself or get a friend/relative to shave the sides of your head for you?

I had a friend shave the sides of my head twice, but I didn't want to keep relying on him to do so every week or so. His lady is about 5 months pregnant, so the less I bother them the better. Plus they live quite a distance away and I don't have a car.

So... I've been doing it myself. I tried a second mirror, but I was confusing myself.
Instead I use my hand as a barrier to stop the clippers running into hair I want to keep.

But tonight I failed.

The sight of EPIC FAIL

After tonight, I'm going to try to get another friend to help me. I'll see how bad it looks tomorrow when I put it up, but I don't think it's going to be too noticable. I hope.
