Hair cutter

I remember seeing a yellow men's self hair cutter thing from a either men's magazine or ID Design Magazine...
Does any body know what the company web site or name is?
It was in a very recent magazine article in a GEAR or DESIGN section of a some men and/or design magazines.
It was somewhat organically shaped in yellow plastic... I even visited the website...(now i can't find it) I want a good easy to use head shaver for my very very short hair cuts every week.... I have been using one of those generic hair cutter... but it was hard to use and feel kind a dangerous around my ears...
It looked like that yellow cutter was specially designed for men's short short hair cuts... and I want one...
or if any body can recommend a good self hair cutter that does simple extra short almost shaved head...(don't want to be shiny short though.....)

Response by poster: After looking at the site...
I know I don't want the HeadBlade but rather clipper type... I don't want to go shiny...
Are there better self cut clippers out there? the picture of the HeadBlade site looks almost normal....
price is no object...
I want something simple so that I can cut my military cut type hair style by myself without being un-nerved when i do my back or near ear sides...

Why not just use a regular electric razor? Shouldn't have to wory too much about cutting yourself with something like a Norelco

People can "dis" it all they want, but my Flowbee is the only thing I ever bought off a TV infomercial that worked worth a damn. If you have straight or slightly wavy hair, and are happy with a simple cut of short to medium length (1/2" to 4 or 5 inch length), it works very well. Won't work on very curly or dense hair. Won't do fancy layered cuts.
A quality, repeatable, safe mil style buzz cut? Absolutely! And it will save you $10 and 1/2 hour of time every two weeks. Not having to wait at the barbershop is the best part of having a Flowbee. Spring for the portable vacuum, too. It's loud, but it's small, and powerful, and easy to dump clipped hair neatly.

I would totally get a Flowbee, if it could cut shorter than 1/2". Right now I just use plain old high-quality clippers that I got for christmas a few years ago. A nice 1 blade on there and I am good to go after 20 minutes. Though I think it's time to replace (or sharpen) my blade, it's not quite as clean-cutting as it used to be.

A HeadBlade is only for shaving. (FWIW, I swore by it during my bald stage - excellent bit of work.)

All you need are $20 Norelco clippers. If you're going to shave your head close to regularly, you need them anyway .. can't shave it with a blade until it's about as short as it can get without one. Any cheap pair of hair clippers will last you a few years to get that "military cut type hair".
