A five o'clock shadow is beard growth visible late in the day on a man whose face was clean-shaven in the morning. Think George Clooney.

Has anyone ever tried using barbers' clippers to get the effect?

There is an electric razor that can give you the 5 o'clock look 24/7. But like all electric razors, I wouldn't recommend it.

Where's the indecisive "eh" option?
Personally I think it depends on face shape and the outfit. It can make skinny guys look like criminals or junkies.
Nathan, I know the razor you mentioned, for the life of me I've forgotten who made it though. It had something like 3 different settings on it so it could be used to sculpt facial hair. Department stores and places like Harvey Norman used to (and still may) stock them.
