My wife used the Flowbee on me one time. It did a pretty good job...at least I thought so. She still cuts my hair, but now it's pretty much a buzz cut. I hate fussing with hair.

This new gizmo looks pretty interesting....I wonder if it gets back hair....

I buzz Mr. Plainsong's hair. There's just not so much there to possibly get wrong.

Will the flowbee work while also using the spray-on hair?

I'm still doing beard and upper hair with my old beard trimmer, which I have recently hooked up to a 4.4 volt wall wart, the original ni-cad batteries having long ago gone **** up. It's like afterburners! I've resigned myself to buzz cuts.

I've been cutting my own hair for about three years now with a Wahl razor that I paid 29.99 for. It was really easy to get the hang of using it and I only had a couple of slightly botched jobs. I do cut my hair pretty short though which helps with regard to getting a uniform cut.

I don't blame you. Decent horse clippers are expensive, and usually pretty good.... I hope you cleaned it first.

Guys the professionals of scissors need to pay rent, and eat also, what is $10.00 every two weeks, or three, gimme a break, do not attempt to do a pro job if you are not qualified for it, you will end messing it up one day...

It's hard to find a good barber when you do hold onto him or her as long as you can.

I spend enough at the hairdresser's to count for both of us. So much so that it was my hairdresser that hooked me up with my current set of clippers for Mr. Plainsong. It's easier to do his hair than it was to fight it out with my horse. I don't have to untie his lead rope and move around with him ...and for that matter I don't have to shave inside his ears....yet.

But seriously even my hairdresser doesn't think his hair is worth spending the money on.
