Hair Clippers

[Lord Tyrion]

I've had Wahl clippers for years but they died last week. I'm going to order more but am drowning under a sea of options. I could go Wahl again but there look some decent Babyliss and Philips 5000 series options. I don't want to go mad, they are just for me, not professional use, but equally I don't want to buy cheap rubbish that I have to replace quickly.

Has anyone bought some recently and been pleased with them, or the opposite of course.

I bought these, only used them once but they seemed great and a bargain price too.

I had a close shave with some cheap clippers off Amazon once...

I bought these after asking advice on here about what I should buy. They weren't recommended I just needed guidance about type etc. Pretty impressed. Had them 6 months and they've lasted well.

You do know that hairdressers are open again?

My wife has cut my hair for a good few years now. It's a simple hair cut, not masses to cut ?. It's £8 a pop here so it doesn't take long to get your money back. I can use that money for green fees then ?.

Not so daft after all ?

Bought Wahl Clip N Trim Hair Clippers from Argos at the start of lock down, £35. My hair grows like wild fire, the missus has been cutting it every 5-6 weeks, and they have done a decent job.

The curved Remington ones are very good but not the cheapest

I've got that as well. Very happy with it. Cuts my hair nice and easy.

Battery life great, they've been brilliant.

£20 off now as well

Always see Babyliss or wall at the barbers, never seen anything else.

However if you are DIYing, the Remington looks interesting.

They'll see me again when you don't have to wear a mask. I don't see how they are going to do the trimming with the cut throat razor that they do when I'm masked up, and the rest I can do myself.

I've had Whal for years and HID does mine every 3-4 weeks. I could probably do with a newer version for sharper blades but it still does the job and as the hair is receding like the outgoing tide it doesn't take too long

Got some wahl from TK Maxx a couple of month ago whilst growing the Covid beard.For £25 they were a steal. Sry impressed with them.

 

[Rooter]

Happy with cheap Wahl ones from argos here. I have a 1 all over every 2 weeks now!

My daughter ( a hairdresser) uses Wahl clippers, but not you’re Argos ones , but then she understands she needs tools that work reliably and cost is second place.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I ended up getting some Babyliss clippers for £25. There are a few reputable brands around the same price and the reviews looked decent so I went with them. They will not be getting excessive hammer so I do not need pro grade ones.

Thanks for the suggestions.
