We still aren't allowed to take video of the interface, or really see much of the phone other than the home screen, and when ...

A curved clipper head makes it almost impossible to over-cut small or large regions, and the clipper's unconventional hairbrush-like shape makes it easy to reach the most awkward spots on your head. Before getting the Shortcut, I'd tried cutting my own hair several times and always had disasters. On my first attempt with the Shortcut, I got about the same results I'm used to from ...Shared by Adam (30) Alec Resnick (102) Caleb (9) Chris (2) Dan McCall (5) Darin R.
