I got this straight off as I used to have one of these to trim my nose hair. That was before I started "perming".

I had no idea but my closest guess was a shower head, until I read that you have to put it in something to get it to work, and, well, I don't know many people who put shower heads in.... you know, I'm not even going to finish that sentence.
