Hair Clippers - Recommendations please gents

[peterb]

They're compatible? I have 2xGrade 2 guides leftover from my Wahls and I'm always worried I'll break the guide halfway through a haircut and then either a) look like a nob b) have to look like a nob going to the hairdressers or c) look like a thug if I take it down to grade 1


Hmm I'd seen them, are they mains or battery operated? Grade 2 is the way to go!


Me either, but was hoping slightly more money might = slightly better guards... the wahls were rather flimsy and meant I had stripes going down the sides of my head if I pressed too hard

I use a Remington, which seems pretty sturdy. Guards - hmm, yes, started cutting my hair and wondered why so much was coming off - then realised I had completely forgotten to fit the guard!

Avoid these at all costs. They are absolutely crap! All they do is shake your head, and with the "guards" being made of very stiff plastic it goes right through your head. I threw mine in the bin in the end, kept the trimmer though cos that's actually decent.

Did you charge it and oil it properly? I agree the plastic is stiff but, y'know, man up you nancy boy

I recently got a great Wahl set at TKMax. £16.

Yeah, I kept it oiled well and usually used it with the AC adapter plugged in.

There's a difference between manning up and having your fillings shook loose
I did use it a few times but just didn't like it. Was a waste of £30 if you ask me.

Yep, I know what you mean. I wasn't overly impressed for starters but I seem to have got the technique down now. It's saved me a fortune in cash, time and hairdresser small talk.

Which guard number do you use? It might make a bit of a difference which number you use, I use the number 2 all over usually, which means that the device is quite close to my head.

I'm more impressed by the trimmer if I'm honest, I use it to shave my face, it leaves me with a perfect amount of stubble so I'm happy with it

It's basically a glorified vibrator .

You wait and see.. no stock by Monday.

Absolute rubbish. I bought one thinking it would be ideal, how wrong I was. It's basically a glorified vibrator that's crap at cutting hair but excellent at given headaches. Took mine back and exchanged it for the Wahl.

It sounds like you are using them wrong.

TIP:
Cut hair on head

Number 3, so its the same bit of plastic as the number 2. I do agree that it feels a bit hard on the old head but, ah, I've put up with worse for the 10-15 mins it takes. The trimmer is a demon and as you say works very well.

What more could you ask for? An orgasmic brazillian (that isn't Ayrton Senna).

Hehe, so it's not just me who thinks he's been having downstairs fun.

Note to self: next time someone on the internet implies that the Babyliss Easy Cut can be safely used on pubic hair, and that it will feel nice at the same time, don't believe it. OUCH!

Or ... the Babyliss Easy Cut is an awesome vibrator, questionable muncher and leaves your head sore

Get a Remington. I've got the MB320C have been using it for the past 3 years. Keeping my hair at a nice grade 2-3. It's a beard trimmer but you can easily do your hair quite short if you intent to.

Worth the look. Plus it's got self sharpening blades.

Got mine from Argos from what I remember.

I've has a set of Nicky Clark (sp?) ones for a couple of years now, no problems. Bought them from Argos for £20 IIRC

[HSK]

Remington are the ones to get. I have some that have been going for years.
