It is still being sold.

I got one after a particularly bad experience with a barber.

Not a bad haircut. He was just an asshole.

I used to go a barber shop where you'd either write your name on their whiteboard under the name of the barber you wanted, or you'd just come in and sit down and get the next guy who was available.

Originally I didn't care, but I'd end up with one short, older guy. I'm tall and long in the torso, so he'd complain that he couldn't get the chair low enough, so I'd have to basically slide down in the chair until I was sitting on my back for him, with my tailbone over the edge of the seat.

That gets uncomfortable, so I started picking one of the taller barbers.

One day I was in a hurry and I didn't want to wait for the tall guy, so I didn't put my name up.

The guy took several people ahead of me who came in after me. At first I thought it was just people who stepped out and came back, but eventually I realized he was skipping me. Eventually one of the other barbers noticed and said something to him, and he started bitching about how I didn't want him cutting my hair.

I didn't know I was breaking up with a girlfriend. I thought he was just a barber.

The barber who confronted him took me next. I gave him a massive tip, and then I came home and ordered the flowbee.

That was a few years before the pandemic, and I've been using it ever since.
