My wife tought we could save some cash, and she could have a winter hobby, by cutting my hair (not hers mind!).
Might stick to the Sheep clippers!

Ouch!!!

My wife Kee has been cutting my hair for about 20 years with the same shears.

I call it the 3mm wide tooth, it take 10 minutes and a perfect cut every time.

Peter your dead right mate, my wife (Alice) is a qualified hairdresser, and now she takes her cutting kit on the road with us.

Her scissors, were not quite that expensive, but she did originally pay $600.00 for her tiny pair, which fits her fingers perfectly.

Mind you, that stuff is as precise as good EP's, because if you happen to drop them, and they land the wrong way,there stuffed.

They'd likely be worth every cent you pay for then, if you take care of them.

The Japanese certainly know how to make great gear, no one else comes close. Every other nation will accept some compromise, even if only tiny. The Japanese won't.

Cheers,
Jason.

I used to do the books (took me 10 minutes once a week) for my local hairdresser when he also had a cleaning business. The deal was that he washed and set/trimmed Elva's hair every week, Coloured it once a month or whenever it was needed and a perm every 3 months. He also cuts my hair on demand (about 4 times a year).

He no longer has the cleaning business and I don't need to do the books but we still get our hairdresser services. Even when we offer to pay. We reckon it saves about $3000 a year.
