Hair clippers that attach to a vacuum hose. The vacuum pulls the hair against the clippers at the length set by the inlet tube and then disposes of the offcut. It’s a very efficient way to give yourself a consistent haircut. It’s not consistently good, but… yeah. It was never hugely popular in the US, but they did advertise a lot back in the 90s.
Thanks the thoughtful and informative response. Now all we have to do to is figure out “why or how the fuck is this?” so that we may learn from the errors of our predecessors.
You have to realize that when this came out, we also had spray paint for scalps to hide bald spots and make fine hairs appear thicker. If you Google “couvre”, I’m sure you’ll find a video.
That’s why I cut my own hair.
Whag the fuck is this

A fucking Flowvee.
Hadn’t scrolled far enough down the page and was momentarily stunned.
My family had a phlobe and I think it’s why I hate haircuts to this day
