many people use the robo, check out all MichiganBaldy's pics

Best thing about the robo breaking down on me was that I started to do the whole
thing by hand. It was scary at first. But I quickly realized that I know the proper length
of my hair all around my head by feel. I kinda knew that already though.

I'm very careful, I know that one bad cut and I'm in trouble. I go a bit conservative, but
even that has lessened over time, because I don't make bad cuts.

Use the robo or flowbee for a while, get good at it, then get good at touching up yourself.
Start to use the robo/flowbee leaving the hair slightly longer, and touch up yourself, feeling
around. Eventually you'll know the right length all around by feel. It's not so scary once
you do it once, you're hooked. Start slow, do the tips only, slowly, slowly, let the length
come down slowly. Then you're basically at a robo+ cut (like doing with robo plus leaving
a little length). Then you know you have it.

Again, the robo is poorly made IMO, may be better to get a flowbee.
