George Clooney has long been catnip for the tabloids, but the articles typically focus on his power-couple marriage. For a change, a recent slate of articles are homing in on something other than his relationship with Amal. Turns out George Clooney has been cutting his own hair for years, by using a “vacuum haircutting system” called a Flowbee. Even more surprising, people seem to have heard of this Flowbee thing.
I have spent way too much time on the Internet today trying to understand how the Flowbee works. I get that it “vacuums” up hair so it doesn’t fall on the floor and make a big mess, but I have no idea how it actually does the “cutting.” Does it suction strands of hair directly out of the skull? How does it ensure that the cut is even, especially in the back of the head where you can’t get a visual? Is the Flowbee also responsible for Clooney’s signature gray locks?
Unfortunately the Flowbee is not available on Amazon, and its most popular products on flowbee.com are sold out. Presumably, people don’t want to go to the barber during COVID. If you want to give it a try, this AirCut looks pretty similar. It IS available on Amazon, so take a look:
