It’s Flowbee Time!

October 21, 2008 | By: William McCamment


When I saw myself in the mirror, I knew I had to do something, so I ordered a Flowbee.

Within 10-minutes of receiving the Flowbee, I fired-it-up and began the experiment. Turns out it was not the comedy-gold I was expecting; the darn thing actually works!


Is this me… or, is it the next James Bond?

I thought about thrashing my hair in the name of comedy, but I just couldn’t do it. :)

Wow! A marriage proposal in the very first comment. These things are going to start selling like hotcakes! :)

You should DEFINITELY order a Flowbee for cutting your boys’ hair–it sucks all the hair right into your vacuum. Not one hair to clean up (or grow into your foot).

I ordered mine from Flowbee.com

Sweeeet! I’m surprised the damn thing actually worked! Nice job. Now you and your Flowbee can open shop.

I was truly surprised. It actually did a great job; after I washed my hair and it fluffed up a little, I almost couldn’t believe how good it looked! :)

See, Angie always knows. If you will look back at past comment you will see my rightness. Though, like you I have to admit, I wanted it to go all awry. You know, for the sake of comedy. :D

BTW I love your before pic — funny stuff — how long did it take you to get that Flowbee?!! *snickering

You clean up nice Sweetie! :)

Haha! It only took about a week to receive it; but, it was several months before I made the decision to order it. LOL :)

I think the bewildered, windblown expression on your before picture was probably enough comedy gold for one post anyway. You looked actively scared of the Flo-bee

Or possibly ready to go after Danny Torrence, I’m not sure which.

I’m surprised it worked, but hey– maybe FloBee needs a spokesman. You could be their Willy Mays or their ShamWow dude.

I took that photo immediately after rolling out of bed. :)

The ShamWow guy? I could NEVER match his sparkling personality. He is a God to me. LOL:)

I’ve never seen one of those before. What a sad sheltered life I’ve led.

Is there an attachment for other body hair areas?

William McCamment reply on October 21st, 2008 10:26 am:

I would personally never try it on other body hair areas. A vacuum with blades attached is not a toy–it could chafe or possibly destroy certain parts of my anatomy. :)

Yes, but does it work on cats? :)

William McCamment reply on October 21st, 2008 11:27 am:

Haha! It hooks up to your vacuum cleaner and the head of the Flowbee makes roughly the same sound as standard buzz-clippers. I would LOVE to see someone try to use it on a cat. LOL :)

When I was married, I sat one night and watched my father in law do my mother in law’s hair with a flowbee. I laughed so hard I cried. On the downside she hated me even more than she did before, on the upside, i laughed so hard i cried lol.

…but, it takes a special type of idiot (like me) to Flowbee their OWN hair. :)

That’s a shop vac, isn’t it? Nice touch.

I’m pretty sure I desperately need one now. You should get a commission on all their new sales.

I think they should let me play James Bond, only I should do it the way I looked in the BEFORE picture! LOL.

Your before pic totally reminded me of Bill Murray in Kingpin. Amazing!

I always considered a Flowbee a joke (which is why I bought one), however, I am totally sold on them now. And, it’s fun! LOL :)

dude, I’m just shocked they still have those and they actually work!!

thanks for risking certain butchering in the name of us readers. I don’t intend to return the gesture.

Don’t fear the Flowbee! :)

Seriously, I am totally sold on this gadget. I can’t wait for my hair to grow out a little so I can do it again!

I just bought one as well. The irony: The flowbee haircut I just gave myself is easily one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had … better than all those $30 haircuts by trained pros. The guy that invented this thing deserves to be filthy rich.
