Expectations: I’d been having difficulty scheduling a haircut with my usual go-to hair cut places. (I don’t really require much with a haircut... I just want to clean up my looks). My hair grows faster than a chia-pet, and if I go more than two months without a trim I start looking like a mad scientist. My silver / grey hair starts to get ‘poofy’ - just a kind of wild mess. I usually go to SuperCuts to get a #5 on the side with the electric clippers. This takes approximately 12 minutes. The stylist seat doesn’t even get warm! I’m in. I’m out! But, now a days, they have become unreliable. COVID has messed with my grooming. My girlfriend had managed to get her hair stylist, who pretty much exclusively works on women’s, hair to see me. Wow! What a difference! This lady is a miracle worker... If she wanted, she could have a long line of guys who really don’t worry about their looks, but don’t want to appear like someone who has been stranded on Gilligan’s Island for a few years. She actually made me care (for a few days at least!) what my hair looked like. Imagine my dismay when my significant other called to schedule me for a trim and said “savior of my scalp” didn’t respond! I was crushed!!! Now I’m not a rough kind of guy. I didn’t call her ‘Baby’, ‘Pussy Cat’, or anything caveman-like. Honestly, I kept to myself, was polite and thanked her for making me look presentable. I’m totally at a loss why she didn’t respond, but in any event, I was kind of left flapping in the breeze... with this mop of silver/grey hair getting into my eyes. It was time for extreme measures! Enter... the Remington HC4250 Shortcut Pro Self-Haircut Kit!! Review: The kit arrived two days after I ordered it. I was psych’d when Amazon notified me that it was ready for pickup from the post office. Have you ever watched a Warner Brother’s Road Runner cartoon? That was me when I was notified. Beep Beep, and a cloud of dust. I was at the post office before the dust had settled. Initial Impressions: Upon opening my parcel, I was presented with a nondescript box labeled with the contents. Don’t expect to be getting a package that has any marketing on it. (Who really cares? Not me!) Upon opening the package I was presented with quite a bit of plastic bags full attachments as well as the clippers. Folks, this box is packed with stuff. Actually more stuff than I would ever intend to use! I’m not sure what everything in the package does... I was more interested in getting my hair cut. Full disclosure / transparency... I have no clue on how to cut hair. It didn’t occur to me to look for a Flow-bee. I was in liquidation mode - everything had to go. So, I took the 1/16” plastic attachment (and charged the clipper for 10 minutes, out of the box) and had at it!! An Unexpected Turn of Events: So, here I am in the kitchen with my new clippers, sheering my scalp like a sedated sheep, when my family comes into the room and becomes fascinated. No sooner had I mowed a line from the back of my neck to approximately my eyebrows, when they want to get involved! “I want a try!” They said. At this point I didn’t think it would matter much, so I felt, ‘heck, go for it!’ A fun time was had by all. I think at this point I had spent less on the clippers than I would have a night of wholesome entertainment. Actually, if you ever get in the predicament that I was in it may be a bit uncomfortable... I don’t think I could have actually stopped them from totally revealing my scalp. There was some sort of savage intensity that wouldn’t be satiated without every follicle cut. It was a Scorched Earth plan. I can’t complain. I’m happy with the outcome. In summary - This product works great! Would I recommend it? Absolutely... The price is less than a hair cut. If you are seriously looking to style your hair and you don’t know how... Avoid! If you don’t have any talent, you will end up like me... bald. (But I’m good with that!!!). I had a great evening of family fun at my expense. I’ll probably do it again in 4 months.
