Default Cut your hair boys and girls (cautionary tale)

Not sure about the trim router. I think scissors or clippers might work
better on his hair. Just don't get the cheap HF scissors, make sure you go
with the Made in the USA scissors from Delta. grin

I'm glad you weren't seriously hurt.

Must've been a sight to see a long-haired dude using a 1 HP router for
a barrette. [ ;-) ]

Hmm - you do realize this might be the perfect excuse to go shopping
for a trim router...
