#1 is a no go, no significant other. #3 has been tried, no buds will do it (Well, they'll *do* it, but...)

Is it possible, that you know of, to accidentally cut the hair shorter than the length of the attachment? Like stick on a 3/4" attachment, push at the wrong angle and get a 1/8" patch?

Possible, but unlikely... Keep the trimmer flat on the BACK of the guide comb. If you mess up too badly, saw it all off (it will grow back :)). The closer the cut, the more likely you are to do a clean job of it (because you can feel variation better where you can't see). For a longer cut, cut it more often, as you are taking much less off each time that way, and any misses are less noticeable.

If you do a really terrible job, just dip your head in butter-flavored Crisco, and use a spatula to form a Dairy-Queen twizzle on the top. No one will notice the hair that way.

Oh, and here is a clue - put a towel in the sink before you start - And NEVER believe 'it will all wash down the drain'.

yah, if you bear down too hard and push the guide off the blades. Believe me, I've done it. (Not to myself, but my poor, unsuspecting son...snicker...) So, make sure the guide is attached correctly, and don't press down. the clippers will do the work, just "guide" the blades.

Otherwise, I'd recommend going to a pro. If you live near a military base, you can probably get a regulation cut in jig time (can we say that?), with no mistakes. Otherwise, SuperCuts, etc., can shear you for one week's allowance.
