    what’s wrong with scissors?

  • Stonewalker

    I had a flowbee cut for the first 13 or so years of my life… my dad loved the flowbee.  When I have kids, I’m totally getting a flowbee.

    “It sucks…. and it cuts!”

    • RadioSilence

      It certainly does suck.

  • flosofl

    It’s sucking my will to live!

  • Doug Nelson

    So if you hook up your Flowbee to your Dyson vacuum does your hair disappear into a TV marketing black hole?

  • pjcamp

    Only if you want all your hairs to be exactly the same length. But I don’t know anyone who’s been able to pull that off since Moe Howard.

    • Antinous / Moderator

      Only if you want all your hairs to be exactly the same length. But I don’t know anyone who’s been able to pull that off since Moe Howard.

      If all your hair is the same length, it’s called a radial cut and it’s the exact opposite of Moe Howard’s hair.

  • Rotwang

     I love the Flowbee because it turns everyone into Laurie Anderson.

  • teapot

    Wayne’s World totally ruined this product’s legitimacy forever.

  • Paddy Fahey

    “Only if you want all your hairs to be exactly the same length”

    With deft use of the various attachments, I get a passable “Eraserhead” look

  • Darren Prentice

    I’ve been using the flowbee for years now, highly recommend this amazing DIY haircutting device.

    Where can I buy one!!!   I want to vacuum cut the dog.

  • Amphigorey

    “I pretty much have that kind of trendy haircut!”

  • Brainspore

    This pretty much summarizes my feelings about the Flowbee.

  • Garnett Schuyler

    I know a guy who used to do this to people who passed out at parties.
