I do the head and face once a week with no guard. Can’t beat these - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B083QMCZ6Q/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_10?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1

Lol £20 you must be joking. I'm pretty sure anything will beat those maybe not in price but in every other way. Even the motor on my cordless magic clip is what I'd consider weak and that's a £100+ clipper and not a beard trimmer.

Oster Fast Feed - Best clippers I ever used when I was a self-made baldie.

Oster are another reputable make up there with Andis and Wahl.

The problem with Wahl is it makes a lot of crap products aimed at lower end of the market so people think their £15 argos clippers are the same as their £50-£200 products which they are far from.

Using Remington quickcut myself , small and roundshaped. also blade is wider than your normal clipper.

I think for a bald head a shaver might be better though?

I go with a 1.5mm cut

Does anyone do their own neckline? I'm using a quick cut but haven't braved doing the back just yet.

Will probably buy Wahl when the quickcut goes pop. Def wouldn't want a cord though which excludes the balding and taper ones.

Wahl here, kinda don't want to pay a hairdresser any more, the wife is getting decent lol

Honestly the best thing I did was leave the clippers behind and just hit the wood with a razor once a week.

Still tidy my mustache and beard with clippers between going to the barbers.

Philips Series 5000 Showerproof Body Groomer with Back Attachment

My Uncle was thinking of buying the above philips model but hasn't done so yet as it has very mixed reviews.

Yet another vote for Wahl.

Another vote for wahl, I have the one with the colour coded blades, nice and easy to use, comes with a case to keep everything together, looks like it's down to £30 at Boots atm

Avoid cordless, they never seem to last in my opinion

Remington quick cut is my go to.

I do my beard and shave my head with it. So easy and lightweight.
