I used to have a small farm and used clippers for the llamas.
I recently bought a Wahl Chromado Lithium from SmarkPak for my dog.

Pet hair is thicker and finer so they require a better grade clipper. Human hair is also more brittle and easier to cut.

They won't let you down, probably lasting forever.

I couldn't take it any longer so I used an electric razor with the longest attachment, (No. 5). I just moved it all around my lid until hair stopped falling off. I ended up with about a 1-inch buzz cut.

Not too bad except for the back which was a little sketchy. At least it's not falling in my face anymore.

I am not sitting in a chair that close to someone who has contact with crazy people who will not wear a mask.

Appointment only. I payed the barber double. I thought about keeping long hair like I had in the 70's. But back then I didn't wear a hat. Now I would have unsightly hat-hair.

I will be calling husband in a few minutes on his cell in the next room to alert him his stylist (me) will meet him on the back patio with clippers in hand. Since we’ve quarantined together for 8+ weeks I am not requiring him to wear a mask 😷

Wish him luck!

Job done, it looks pretty good. A little rickety in the back, but hell he will never see the back 😉
