best mens hair clippers???
so I have mainly been razor shaving my head but recently I decided to grow it a little longer. the problem now is the only clippers I have round the house are some really basic wahl ones. I tried these out but they seem to give a really patchy look. I am wondering what are the best ones to use that give a good quality cut all over. bear in mind that I'm going to be cutting it myself so it needs to be easy to use.
the only one i've read up on is the babyliss one which are like a handcomb,i liked the look of this from the ad on tv.after reading up though i found out the reviews of this are pretty bad and it gives a patchy cut despite the high price tag. |

Someone got me a pair of nicky clarke clippers last year and they seem to cut my hair ok, it has different lenght settings though, not like my old ones. The trick is to keep going over and over your hair again, and the shorter it is the easier it is. Above a number seven I think your better off going to the barber.

thanks,
yea I agree about the length settings,I want to keep mine quite short. would say these ones give a good even cut and leave no patches? or does going over it a few times eliminate that risk? |

Hiya, I bought some of these last week from my local tesco store (out of stock online). I do a zero crop all over with them and 'm quite happpy with them. There is lots of fine adjustment with moving the blade itself as well as adding combs.
http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.207-7850.aspx The box says "for total face and body grooming" but they work fine on your head. |

I personally don't like the Babyliss ones. I've had two and both of them had dodgy attachments. They didn't fit on securely and and I have scalped both myself and my nephew by them falling of mid way through. I currently have Nicky Clarke ones and they are very good.

I've had my Wahl clippers for 16 years and they're still in perfect condition, i use them to shave my head and stubble, i think i broke most of the attachments but i don't use them anymore.

My recommendation would be for these from Philips. I use them without any guides to get a perfect grade 0 all over. The rotating head and relatively cheap price are added benefits (although anyone who manages to cut the hair at the back of their head with clippers that have a fixed head must be a contortionist).

I have model NCMH-D. Bought for £17.99 from Boots in June 2005 - used roughly every 5 weeks - and still going strong.

Unfortunately I don't think the one I have is sold any longer because it's not listed on his website.

I have used several Philips hair clippers and they all have been great so far. My latest purchase is the cordless Philips QC5370/15 which is just amazing value considering its specs.

I've tried them all, think Babyliss are rubbish, most of the Wahl ones are too, and even their professional one wasn't as good as the one I'd recommend, a Remington ceramic, which was half the price of the Wahl, been using it for years now.

Used a Remington for years, does the job. Can't comment on other makes.

This is the one my hubby uses the Karmin T70 - it has a ceramic moving blade & a titanium stationery blade. He is very happy with it and after shaving he applies either a couple of drops of my Pro-Naturals Moroccan argan oil or jojoba oil as moisturiser, no razor burn at all.

I'm quite happy with my Wahl Clip'n'Rinse cordless hair clippers.
I'd also agree with the tip above to remember to oil the clippers before and after use. |
