If you want the top long, a good pair of barber shears such as dovo catch cut stainless are excellent.
My haircut is very simple but my wife swears I do a better job than when I come back from the barbers. I do a #2 on the sides, a number 3 on the crown and parietal ridge and a #8 on the top. I clean up and straighten the neck line with a straight razor and clean up behind the ears with scissors.
