The Right Kit for Trying Times Like These. . . .
Did the job. Or, rather, my girlfriend quickly mastered it.
Anyway, we opened the box, oiled the cutting blade area as instructed, went with the most conservative cutting attachment, and I wound up with a "coronavirus cut" that was acceptable.
To be sure, it didn't match "Great Clips" quality (all an old, balding guy like me ever needs), but that was my girlfriend's first time, so she gets four stars while this kit gets five.
I like the color-coded clipper attachments. At a minimum, they build confidence in the user's sense of "proceeding safely." The included scissors seem cheap, and we didn't use them because I bought a separate, 3-scissor set (wanted good thinning shears).
Helpful Tip: Don't wait for your hair to grow fully out. Start out using this as a "thin and trim," because mistakes will be most pronounced if you or your lady cut and thus style a fully grown out head of hair. I've usually been able to go about 50 days between cuts, but we did this at 35, and there was thus less anxiety. I did notice, about 12 or so days later, that she'd failed to layer-cut a couple areas toward the rear of my head. She'll learn, though, and we're gonna go back out on her porch every month now, to cut it at the thin-and-trim level.
I'm also glad that I was able to shop for price and found a demonstrably better deal here on Ebay than elsewhere.
Kudos!
