I've been cutting my hair for the last 4 years now and use the Flowbee for the top of my head. I use a pair of Wahl clipper for the sides and use the trimmer for touch ups. If you by the Wahl clipper, they have a model that comes with a guide for cutting around your ears and your eye brows which I didn't know about until after I had bought a different model. By the way, I have straight and kind of coarse hair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-41580448595762172922020-12-02T17:59:09.515-06:002020-12-02T17:59:09.515-06:00I'm still trying to decide, but your offer is ...I'm still trying to decide, but your offer is attractive.

My skin reacts to any of the masks I'm allowed to wear, but I have to wear one all day anyway. The clippers leave just enough stubble to cut down the reaction a bit.

That's alot of questions Minnesotastan!<br /><br />We love salt blocks, we even have one huge one for our Bunny which has lasted 12 years for her, much cheaper than the ones they sell specifically for bunnies. Haircut: advice: go get one from someone you like, and tip her the same amount as the price of the haircut for taking the risk of you sitting in the chair without a mask on. I pay for haircuts, and am financially stable, not at Clooney levels, so take what I say with a grain of salt.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15006726581149571373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-49649674365508562132020-12-02T13:38:05.116-06:002020-12-02T13:38:05.116-06:00I haven't been a customer in a barbershop for ...I haven't been a customer in a barbershop for 25 years. I got fed up with the inane dialogue: what to do this w/e? did ya see the match last w/e? and are you going on vacation come summer? So I bought me electric hair-clippers for £35, whc paid for themselves before the summer. I used to sit on the kitchen floor and let my 6 y.o. do the invisible bits behind the ears. When she grew up [8 y.o.] I started doing the whole thing myself. Use the fattest comb to begin with and get more military if it suits and the family can handle it. If you are engaging assistance, be sure to fully brief The Help. When the daughter had lost interest, my wife offered to have a go [I've seen this, I've got this] and made a confident swooping pass . . . down to the scalp because she'd left the comb-gizmo off. You don't need a vacuum anything . . . Flowbee? at $300? You jest.

I read that a horse cant lick enough salt from a block. This stuff is coarse and he will eat it like candy if given the chance. In your situation I suggest putting a pan on the stump and see who shows up and how much they eat. It could become a routine and you might get to know those critters better or better than you want.Revashanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16942712198206472712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-7187985183036714942020-12-02T06:03:54.529-06:002020-12-02T06:03:54.529-06:00I saw this video awhile back.

A large bathroom mirror combined with a full length mirror on the (slightly angled) closet behind me makes it fairly easy, although I usually have my wife double check the hairline on the back of my neck when I'm done.

They are limiting the number of customers by mandating appointments and leaving chairs open. There's place for eight customers and the two times I've gone, there were one and two other customers, so there was plenty of spacing. I was able to pick rainy weekday mornings, unlike normally when I have to work and only can go in the weekend. They did a small questionnaire about symptoms and a temperature check. The hair ladies all wore good facemasks and the doors in the front and back were kept open to keep a decent draft going. <br /><br />Since I pretty much have a buzz cut, I was in and out in 11 minutes. All in all, it can't be worse that going to a supermarket. Or at least, from what I hear. I haven't seen the inside of a supermarket since May. Long live Amazon Prime and Instacart. Excluding Costco where I load up every 6-8 weeks - Instacart for Costco sucks.<br /><br />Oh, and please tip the folks that your shopping and hair cutting very generously.
