on 10/9/2009 I have 3 boys, plus my husband. I save a lot of money cutting their hair. Very nerve-wracking the first few times, but I've been doing it for over 10 years and it goes quick now. I'm only on my second pair of $15 clippers. The first burnt out because I used them to shave our pigs. (Hint: Use animal clippers for the pigs instead!) :-)
