• UPDATE:
  
  Bought it on sale for $10 AND .....
  
  It sucks. Doesn't cut as close as my beard trimmer, and it doesn't look as cool as it does on the package.

• Sorry I jumped in late.  I could have saved you $10.  IT SUCKS!  It doesn't even give a good buzz cut.

• Put it on eBay with some cool chick holding it on a boy and you might get $20- remember the flowbee.  It's worth a try.

• Thanks guys,
  
  The rubber they use to make it had a funny/awful smell so I returned it.
  
  I bought a Whopper and called it a night.
