-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>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
-<a href="http://nicehair.dk/panasonic-er-1611-professionel-hartrimmer.html">selling
-it for around NOK 1800,-</a>. We ordered one, and it arrived a few
-days ago.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
