I normally cut my hair short, and my tool of choice has been a
+common hair/beard cutter, bought in a electrical shop here in Norway.
+But the last ones have not really been up to the task. My last
+cutter, some model from Braun, could only cut a few of my hairs at the
+time, and cutting my head took forever. And the one before that did
+not work very well either. We have looked for something better for a
+while, but it was not until I ended up visiting a hairdresser that we
+discovered that there are indeed better tools available. But these
+are not marketed and sold to "regular consumers". The hair saloons
+can get them through their suppliers, but their suppliers only sell
+companies. The models they sell, are very different from the ones
+available from Elkjøp and Lefdal. The main difference is their
+efficiency. It would cut my hair in 5 minutes, instead of the 30-40
+minutes required by my impotent Braun. The hairdresser I visited had
+a Panasonic ER160, which unfortunately is no longer available from the
+producer. But I found it had a successor, the Panasonic ER1611.
+
+
The next step was to find somewhere to buy it. This was not
+straight forward. The list of suppliers I got from the hairdresser
+did not want to sell anything to me. But searching for the model on
+the web we found a supplier in Norway willing to sell it to us for
+around NOK 4000,-. This was a bit much. We kept searching and
+finally found a Danish supplier
+selling
+it for around NOK 1800,-. We ordered one, and it arrived a few
+days ago.
+
+
The instructions said it had to charge for 8 hours when we started
+to use it, so we left it charging over night. Normally it will only
+need one hour to charge. The following evening we successfully tested
+it, and I can warmly recommend it to anyone looking for a real hair
+cutter. The ones we have used until now have been hair cutter
+toys.
