  26 <p>I normally cut my hair short, and my tool of choice has been a
  27 common hair/beard cutter, bought in a electrical shop here in Norway.
  28 But the last ones have not really been up to the task.  My last
  29 cutter, some model from Braun, could only cut a few of my hairs at the
  30 time, and cutting my head took forever.  And the one before that did
  31 not work very well either.  We have looked for something better for a
  32 while, but it was not until I ended up visiting a hairdresser that we
  33 discovered that there are indeed better tools available.  But these
  34 are not marketed and sold to "regular consumers".  The hair saloons
  35 can get them through their suppliers, but their suppliers only sell
  36 companies.  The models they sell, are very different from the ones
  37 available from Elkjøp and Lefdal.  The main difference is their
  38 efficiency.  It would cut my hair in 5 minutes, instead of the 30-40
  39 minutes required by my impotent Braun.  The hairdresser I visited had
  40 a Panasonic ER160, which unfortunately is no longer available from the
  41 producer.  But I found it had a successor, the Panasonic ER1611.</p>
  42
  43 <p>The next step was to find somewhere to buy it.  This was not
  44 straight forward.  The list of suppliers I got from the hairdresser
  45 did not want to sell anything to me.  But searching for the model on
  46 the web we found a supplier in Norway willing to sell it to us for
  47 around NOK 4000,-.  This was a bit much.  We kept searching and
  48 finally found a Danish supplier
  49 <a href="http://nicehair.dk/panasonic-er-1611-professionel-hartrimmer.html">selling
  50 it for around NOK 1800,-</a>.  We ordered one, and it arrived a few
  51 days ago.</p>
  52
  53 <p>The instructions said it had to charge for 8 hours when we started
  54 to use it, so we left it charging over night.  Normally it will only
  55 need one hour to charge.  The following evening we successfully tested
  56 it, and I can warmly recommend it to anyone looking for a real hair
  57 cutter.  The ones we have used until now have been hair cutter
  58 toys.</p>
