I have long hair, its VERY noticeable when I vacuum. I own a seam ripper just to cut the hair out of the spinny brush thing i dont know or remember the name of.

Holy shit, why have I not thought of using a thread ripper before, that's genius!

I've just been using a plain old pair of scissors

Yeah, that or a pair of wire snips are my go to, but it's such a PITA

Razor blade works as well.

In a pinch, sure. I've also tried with the exacto knife with better luck, but both end up leaving cut marks all over the roller which isn't ideal.

If I can shill for a second, we’ve got a Kenmore with a blade that automatically cuts tangled up hair while the vacuum is running and it’s fucking incredible. No straining the motor, no hot dusty hair stank, no wrestling with the vacuum on the floor. It’s intended for houses with pets, but it works on human hair just as well.
