Post-Haircut Shennanigans

I went to get my haircut today. I spent an hour in a chair and was told "Wow, your hair so thick!" multiple times. I don't think the guy was even talking to me the first couple.

Have I mentioned I don't like haircuts? 

It's not the best haircut I've ever had, but I was ready to get out of the chair. Carrie can fix the rest later. I am tempted to start buzzing myself again and save the $20.

Speaking of buzzers, Carrie found the blade lubricant while packing. I have not used the clippers lately, because I have not been able to take care of them. I put Shane to bed, and started to clean them out.

I never fathomed the amount of beard hair stuffed in there. It kept coming and coming! 

Then I noticed the screws. They were Phillips heads. A screwdriver resided in the drawer. Hmmm....


One screw became two. Two became four. Four became more. I disassembled until I saw guts and the power switch fell out.

It still worked when I reassembled and plugged back in. I'm probably not in trouble when my wife reads this! The blades hummed quieter than ever, too! It was so easy, it must have been designed to be taken apart. I don't have a manual (or at least I never bothered to look for one), so I can only guess.

What can I say? I like to figure out how things work. Not all of my curiosity spells turn out this well.
