Review (4/5): Mostly lives up to the hype...
The surface is sufficient in size for "man grooming" or barbershop activities. There is a quality foam padding inside so you can stand upon it and groom without needing to schedule a chiropractic appointment. I'm not a huge fan of the large slit on one side for inserting or removing the foam as I'm concerned miscellaneous hair may get trapped inside. If strips of velcro were located in this slit it would be a better feature. Also, while the material is pretty effective at sliding the hair off with a few firm shakes it is not a "perfect science" and some hair will surely remain. This is especially true if you are are a fairly hairy beast with dark, coarse hair. I hit that "hair shrapnel" with the hand vacuum. All in all a good product if you haven't yet hit the wall with pain-in-the-ass (literally and figuratively) "male grooming" and gone the wet/dry shaver route to insure an easy clean-up.
