You know I hate to beat on the rotting horse again, but what is with that...dull blades? I got a Fehrman once and was scared to handle it because it was scary sharp!.....I mean that thing could cut a fart! Hair would just fall off before the blade got near it....I think that is why I am losing whats on top of my head now. It really isn't a standard..i have gotten some that were perfect, shaved hair and chopper beautifully, but then others would rip paper!
