I came here looking for some advanced techniques, but I think, for my hair, I have about got it down. Standard length on the top (whatever that may be for you), 1/2" shorter on the sides, 1" longer in the back, beard trimmer around the ears and sideburns. Looks just as good as a $20 dollar haircut!

Even though you had to buy a vac, Flowbee has clearly been a winner for you. I paid $6 a haircut every three months for quite a few years, which was as cheap as I could find. You came out way ahead just in $$, plus not having to travel to a shop, etc. Thanks for info.

I bought extra spacers, but never have had to use them. A few of the spacers cracked over the years, but this didn't affect their functionality. I bought 2 extra bottles of oil, and I thoroughly oil the blades every time I use it, both before and after I cut my hair. Perhaps partly because of this the blades have never needed replacing. I have gone through 2 & 1/3 bottles of oil in 12 years. When I bought my Flowbee it didn't have an instructional video that I know of. I got an instruction booklet with it. They also didn't supply the vacuum, so I had to buy a separate canister type one, which I found on sale for about $60. Altogether, along with the extra oil and spacers, it cost me about $140, in 1997 prices.
