Spec me some clippers!

banja · 27 Nov 2011 at 18:19

I'm a bald **** whose long standing (10 years) clippers have finally given up the ghost and gone to the barber shop in the sky.

Any fellow baldies got recomendations for some decent clippers? Budget maybe £20+ (£30 tops) Would like cordless but not fussy. I don't use the guards, down to the bone for me, so attachments etc not important.

not bald, but these are epic:

Remington HC5750 Maverick Pro Power Hair Clipper!

I've got these, but they weren't as exspensive. I think i got mine for £25. Right down to the bone and the swivel head makes shaving your head much easier.

I have one of these http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4428901/Trail/searchtext>WAHL+CLIPPERS.htm
Seems to do the job well, decent heft, not like some of those really cheap plasticy ones you get. Used them for the last year on my head and my face

All I do is give the blade a brush and a blob of oil before I put it away. Paid for itself in less than 3 haircuts.

I can recommend Wahl Super Tapers, really pleased with mine.

I have been using a pair of argos £4.99 clippers for the last two years. Done me no wrong.

But those ones in the post two above look awesome!!

They look proper modern metrosexual! Do they go to zero without any guards, ie right to bone fully skinhead? I don't want a crewcut

Remington with the ceramic blades are the best that I've had, no need to oil.

Bit over budget but babalyst beard trimmers are what I've been using for the last 4 years.

They cut closed and are sharper.

I've always had my hair down to the wood and they can't be beaten.

Yep,
Haven't tried it yet.

It's funny open the box and a ton of guards, right all them in the bin, they aren't needed.

Thread a few days old now but I bought a 'Wahl Home Cut' set about 15 year ago, used them once a month - very good, I think any of the well known makes, Remmington, Wahl, Phillips will do a good job for around £20

It surprises me how many different models their is for brands, all do the say thing it's abit mad lol.
