HAIR'S THE LOOK THAT'S IN THESE DAYS
By Contributors: Augustin Hedberg, David Lanchner, Tyler Mathisen, Michele Willens

(MONEY Magazine) – If you are male and suffer from stubble envy -- a disturbance characterized by a desire to have an always budding beard like TV star Don Johnson -- you may want to pick up an electric razor that went on the market this spring, costs only $29.95 and leaves you with a 5 o'clock shadow 24 hours a day. It is called the Stubble Device. The Wahl Clipper Corp. of Sterling, Ill. makes it expressly to capitalize on the sandpaper-chin look popularized by the Miami Vice sleuth. Rather than suffer the embarrassment of a clean shave, you can keep your beard fashionably semi-trimmed with the machine's handy one-to-five-day growth settings. The razor was originally called the Miami Device. But the company feared a trademark infringement lawsuit by the show's producers and -- even worse -- were afraid that Johnson could up and adopt a razor-clean look at a press agent's notice.
