That photo "buzzing from back" near the top. Those are shaft driven clippers. It's extremely rare to find them these days and usually only as a vintage item. They're still made for sheep but not for humans anymore.
The only place I know of where they're still used is in the German army but that could also have changed now.
Re: Shaft Driven Clippers - where did you get that photo?

(Stephen, 2010-11-24 21:15)This month it was 20 years ago that I took the picture from the Hungarian barberette (with the orange clippers in her hand), in an old fashioned barbershop in Budapest. Last week I was back in Budapest, but the shop was not there anylonger.

Omg, you made that photo? That's the best of them all.
How can I get permission to use it on my site?

The strihanie copu strojčekom picture is from Santiago de Cuba (1993). The girl in the barberchair is a barber, and only for the photographer you performed as a client.
The clippers are the same kind as those which were used in the former eastern blockstates in Europe

The picture niekde v DDR has been taken in Varna (Bulgaria) in 1994. It was in a barbershop close to the railwaystation.
