No, not that i ever knew of Ben. I never used it in my shop because the clipper blade is too slow for me. Yes, it cuts the hair,,but a professional regular electric clipper blade cuts the hair much faster, better and easier. The Kirby clipper is bulky and noisy. But, all in all, is OK. Would certainly be fine for a home clipper job. I tried it in the salon once, just to see, and it was OK, i just prefer the professional clippers.
At one time the WAHL company had a vacuum clipper,,where there was suction from a small hose, hooked to the back of the clipper housing. I HAVE seen Barber Shops/Salons use those before, but you have to have either central vac, or a quiet vac behind the back bar, or else its too noisy. Gotta be able to talk to and hear the customer! | ||

Thanks for the laugh, Brandon.
I do have a FlowBee kit upstairs in a box somewhere. Nice bit of Vacuum Ephemera. Better yet, a few years ago I found a FlowBee Pet Groomer version in a secondhand store, in Turquoise, which provided a turquoise hose for one of my GE RollEasys. The other loooong blue-grey hose is from a pool vacuum and very handy for spring cleaning the cars.
