Pls recommend a Hair Clipper...

[shori]

Hey guys,

Can anyone recommend a good cordless hair clipper? I’m looking at getting something that cuts it really fine. I don’t care about the adjustments and stuff because I won’t use them.

I want to avoid shaving the head so want some thing that can do the job reasonably close to that effect. Do I have to look for any particular settings in a clipper (for that extrememly fine cut) as I'm doing some research?

Also what things one need to keep in mind while purchasing one?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks for that Cassin,

Any views on the products on this page - http://www.shavershop.com.au/products/hair-clippers

They do seem expensive though, worth the money...???

Cheers

Anyone used this - Wahl Professional Balding Full Head Hair Clipper

Looks like what I'm looking for...cordless would be better.

I first started out with a very cheap generic hair clipper and after a few months it stopped doing its job. I replaced it with a Wahl and I've had no problems since. I also know someone who uses a Remington and they've had no problems. I think you'll be fine as long as you buy a decent brand; the really cheap ones just don't last.

I would think just about any Wahl would be a good purchase.

I'm sorry I might be asking to be spoon fed out here. But I have don't some research and can't come across a good cordless one which gets the job done close to shaving.

And any thoughts on the Wahl product mentioned above. People really seem to be impressed with it. I read some reviews on Amazon. it's just not cordless, but if nothing else I can live with it.

I was more keen on cordless as its less cumbersome while traveling, which I plan to do a bit next year. I have cheap Remington one at the moment, it's starting to show signs of dying down now.

Thanks again

Cheers

All hair clippers can only go as short as a grade 0, which is basically stubble. If you want to go shorter then you have to use a razor or an electric shaver. A lot of men use the headblade, which is specially designed for head shaving. Perhaps you should look into that; apparently it is very easy to use.

Hi thanks for that Toocooforhair,

I looked into the head shaver you have mentioned, it's just that I want to avoid shaving if I can. Is it ok to use a electric shaver on the head, I mean is it any better then the Clipper ? A friend of mine did suggest that but I am a bit skeptical.

Can you suggest an electric shaver that might be good for the head. I have never used an electric shaver, have always been using the Mach3.

Cheers

My Wahl that I linked above have a pretty long cord and I haven't had a problem.

It always comes with a cordless travel unit but from what I understand it eats batteries fast.
