Hi all,
Okay, it's summertime, it's hot, and a buzzcut is the most comfortable haircut there is for me. I've gotten it done twice at the barber's with electric hair clippers, and though I felt basically fine, I would prefer something lower EMF. I've looked at "manual" hair clippers, but they look awkward and hard to use/poorly and cheaply made. Serious question, goofy as it sounds: Does anyone think it's possible that a pair of electric hair clippers could be shielded to greatly reduce the magnetic/electric fields? (I don't know if RF would be an issue since they'd be running on straight AC electricity.) Okay, that's enough of my goofy question. Anyone has any thoughts, please post them up. Cheers! R.

Wow....well in honestly? While it is possible to use a hose on a blow dryer which does put out high emf's...you kind of need to be real close to the ele clippers... I don't see any way to shield or lower in this case. And if those ele clippers put out high ele fields, it is an issue. Sometimes in the case of those with ES, its going to come to a question of: conveniance or health. Only you can make that decision. Maybe you could "try" the old fashioned way.... Or just take extra anti oxidants before doing the buzz cut?

Do they make rechargeable ones like razors, that would operate on DC? Maybe that would work better for you.

Yes, it is possible, but not practical. Imagine a fairly substantial
cylinder of metal around the clippers. The barber would have a hard time controlling the fine movements.
