Haircuts: Let's Lighten Things Up

[Bailey Guns]

I live in Idaho. Nobody cares what my hair looks like. They're too amazed that I have all my teeth.

I didn't think Flowbee's were still available - I've been wanting to get one for a few years now.

I used to get my hair cut (basic .mil style cut, nothing fancy) on base (USAF), paying $10.75+tip each time. About 2 years ago I bought a Wahl "Deluxe" trimmer for ~$25 and started cutting my own hair, with my wife performing the little clean up/evening out the back. It takes me about twice as long as it did the professional barber, but I don't have to sit and wait for the barber to come available first. Neither my wife or I can honestly see any difference in the haircuts I give myself from what the pro used to give me. Of course, when you're mostly bald, it's easy enough to do.

I'll stand with ya BG! I've been using a Flowbee for many years and love it. As long as you have a good vacuum like a Shop Vac, it'll work great. I don't cut real short, so doing the back can be a challenge, but it's the best damn beard trimmer ever!

Paying for haircuts costs a lot, figure out how much you spend on them a year and you'll choke. Makes the price of the Flowbee much easier to handle. The Shop Vac is the biggest cost, but every guy needs one anyway. Scored mine at a neighbor's garage sale for $10 and it had barely been used, wasn't even dirty.

They are. On Amazon they're about $120. Or, buy directly from Flowbee and they're $79.95 + $15.00 (give or take) for shipping. I figure that's about 6 - 8 months of haircuts.

And seriously...other than a little mishap by the wife trimming the back with trimmers (she says there was no blood and it'll grow back), it looks as good as most barbershop cuts I've had.

What's a haircut?

I've heard of #1 and #2...what's #3? Not sure I wanna know if it requires showering.

#3 is #2+#1 just do the math

[Bailey Guns]

Thank God I was never good at math. Because that just doesn't add up to anything I wanna do.

Is this some kind of micro-aggression against me?

[Bailey Guns]

No offense. Does this help?

Depends, do you Flowbee?
