wherein said top comb and said bottom comb slidingly engage along an interfacing surface, said interfacing surface comprising each said bottom surface of said each of the plurality of top cutting members;

wherein said top comb is configured so that any straight line normal to said interfacing surface and extending through said interfacing surface intersects said interfacing surface at only a single point of said interfacing surface; and

wherein upon actuation of said cutter head, the top cutting members and bottom cutting members interact to manipulate or cut hair.

2. The cutter head according to claim 1 , wherein the top and bottom cutting members comprise rounded distal tips.

3. The cutter head according to claim 1 , wherein each dull edge of the too cutting members and the bottom cutting members comprises a rounded contour, a chamfered contour, a non-uniformly rounded contour, or a contour that is otherwise formed or finished so that hair contacting said dull edge may be manipulated.

4. A hair cutting device comprising the cutter head according to claim 1 .

5. A cutter head for use with a hair cutting system, the cutter head comprising:

a bottom comb comprising a plurality of bottom cutting members, each extending from a base region of the bottom comb, each of the plurality of bottom cutting members comprising:

an elongated length;

a distal tip;

a top surface;

a sharp edge extending along the top surface, the sharp edge beginning proximal the base region of the bottom comb and extending to a point proximal the distal tip; and

a dull edge extending along the top surface, the dull edge beginning proximal the base region of the bottom comb and extending to said point proximal the distal tip; and

a top comb comprising a plurality of top cutting members, each extending from a base region of the top comb, each of the plurality of top cutting members comprising at least one dull edge;

wherein said cutter head is configured so that said cutter head may be actuated so that hair may be collected into said cutter head between a dull edge of at least one of said plurality of bottom cutting members and a dull edge of at least one of said plurality of top cutting members;

wherein said bottom comb and said top comb slidingly engage along an interfacing surface, said interfacing surface comprising each said top surface of said each of the plurality of bottom cutting members;

wherein said bottom comb is configured so that any straight line normal to said interfacing surface and extending through said interfacing surface intersects said interfacing surface at only a single point of said interfacing surface; and

wherein upon actuation of said cutter head, the top cutting members and bottom cutting members interact to manipulate or cut hair.

6. The cutter head according to claim 5 , wherein each dull edge of the top cutting members and the bottom cutting members comprises a rounded contour, a chamfered contour, a non-uniformly rounded contour, or a contour that is otherwise formed or finished so that hair contacting said dull edge may be manipulated.

7. A hair cutting device comprising the cutter head according to claim 5 .

8. A cutter head for use with a hair cutting system, the cutter head comprising:

a top comb comprising a plurality of top cutting members, each of the plurality of top cutting members comprising:

an elongated length; and

a cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the elongated length, the cross-sectional shape having a bottom edge extending from a dull end to a sharp end; and

a bottom comb comprising a plurality of bottom cutting members, each of the plurality of bottom cutting members comprising:

an elongated length; and

a cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the elongated length, the cross-sectional shape having a top edge extending from a dull end to a sharp end;

and wherein said cutter head is configured so that said cutter head may be actuated so that at least one of said plurality of top cutting members at least partially aligns with a first bottom cutting member so that hair may be collected into said cutter head;

wherein said cutter head is configured so that said cutter head may be actuated so that said at least one of said plurality of top cutting members interacts with a second bottom cutting member so that hair may be compressed between a dull edge of said at least one of said plurality of top cutting members and a dull edge of said second bottom cutting member;

wherein said cutter head is configured so that said cutter head may be actuated so that said at least one of said plurality of top cutting members interacts with a third bottom cutting member so that hair may be cut; and

wherein said first bottom cutting member, said second bottom cutting member, and said third bottom cutting member, are each individual and different elements of said plurality of bottom cutting members.

9. The cutter head according to claim 8 ,

wherein said dull end of said cross-sectional shape having a bottom edge extending from a dull end to a sharp end, further comprises a chamfered shape, a rounded shape, a non-uniformly rounded shape, or a shape that is otherwise formed or finished so that hair contacting said dull end of said cross-sectional shape having a bottom edge extending from a dull end to a sharp end may be manipulated; or

wherein said dull end of said cross-sectional shape having a top edge extending from a dull end to a sharp end, further comprises a chamfered shape, a rounded shape, a non-uniformly rounded shape, or a shape that is otherwise formed or finished so that hair contacting said dull end of said cross-sectional shape having a top edge extending from a dull end to a sharp end may be manipulated.
