Men, make these cuts your own

With warmer weather upon us, more men are trending it like Beckham — trimming down our shaggy manes to close-cropped action-figure haircuts — only to realize our maintenance involves biweekly wind sprints to Supercuts or the risk of nicking our own noggins with barber-grade clippers.
But what if we could buzz the tower cheaply, easily and error-free in the privacy of our own homes — all by ourselves? Ah, such is the promise of Remington’s new ShortCut, a cordless clipper designed for the shorn legions. It deploys the “world’s only curved cutting system” (to conform to the shape of the head), self-sharpening blades and a 40-minute charge (enough juice for the whole rugby team) to make the pate Justin Timber-like. All for $29.99.
Quick? Certainly. Error-free? On the first try, not so much. The resulting pattern of uneven spots in the back looked like mange, and the longer tufts over the ears were reminiscent of Rockhopper penguin plumage. A second attempt — after the tonsorial test lab had grown back — proved a much better buzz: a clean, even, divot-free ’do, three-sixteenths of an inch all the way around in less than five minutes. There’s even a pop-out trimmer for the sideburns.
What made the big difference was gripping the clipper in the palm like a hairbrush instead of with the fingertips like a salt shaker and moving slowly and steadily, especially at the sides of the head.
