That's too funny!
I bought some batteries, but they weren't included.

She added an "s" to the end of "wahl" by mistake. From their site, here's what the numbers mean:

WAHL GUIDE COMBS:

#1: 1/8"(3 mm)
#2: 1/4"(6 mm)
#3: 3/8"(10 mm)
#4: 1/2"(13 mm)
#5: 5/8"(16 mm)
#6: 3/4"(19 mm)
#7: 7/8"(22 mm)
#8: 1"(25 mm)

Quil,
Debbie wrote some other stuff and then for some reason she edited her post and deleted the other stuff she wrote.
Who knows why?

Well the last time I got my haircut it must have been shorter than a 1 then because I had it cut right to my scalp.

Do you know anywhere where there's a picture, a chart of something of these lengths? Man, I'm such a novice...*grin* Sorry!

It stands for length. A 1 is an eighth of an inch buzzcut, right to the scalp. A 2 is a quarter of an inch. A 5 would be a little over an inch.

Since I got my buzzcut I started with a 2. Last time I had it cut I went to a 1 and got the shortest cut, right to the scalp.

I had a baby recently in April so it's easy for me wearing a buzzcut, I don't need to fuss any over my hair, it requires no matienance, and I like the way I look in very short hair.

Well, I noticed that people use numbers to describe their cuts..."oh I got a #2" or something like that. What's this supposed to mean? Someone recently recommended getting my hair cut to #5. She said the haircut people will know what i mean, but can you simplify this for me?

Much much thanks.
