The number is the size of the guard on the clippers. Effectively the spacing between the blades and your skin.
#1 - 1/8"
#2 - 1/4"
#3 - 1/2"
etc.

I didn't actually know this until I was like 35.



I didn’t know until I was 61. #3 is 3/8. #4 is 1/2 and so on. +1/8” increase with each greater number.

I accepted the fact that I'm going bald and buzz my own hair now. I either keep it short at like a 1 or 2 guard or shave it completely.
