P.S. Use extreme caution when trying to cut loose hairs from your wife's head. Just sayin.
Get samples from her hair brush -that's what I do - you can set up your own private HHT calibration. Compare the results to those obtained from your arm hair.

On a more serious note, the other contributors are right about the elbow height; it should be higher. It allows for better control and minimal down force strokes.
