If you're a short-haired fellow or one that has a beard sharper than a machete, you'll know the strange feeling of excitement you experience when it's time for the straight blade.

Whether your beard needs straight lines, your sideburns need shaping or you're one for the zero grade on the back and sides, the moment the hairdresser pulls this bad boy out, you know you're in for a treat.

Like cleaning your car windscreen, or making a perfectly round pancake, there's something oddly satisfying about your hair being effortlessly scraped off from your head.

Perhaps it's the feeling of the blade gliding across, or the sight of unwanted hair dropping off with ease, the sense of satisfaction is undeniable. If you ever wondered what it would be like to get a soothing head massage from Edward Scissorhands, this is probably the closest it'll get.
