BEST Clippers for Head-Shavers Who Don't Like a Razor Shaved Dome!!!
Sir Harry:
Welcome, Bald Beard!
First, prayers for a speedy recovery-and victory-over cancer
Second, I have had my Andis T-Outliner for more than three years. It has cut real close giving me the impression of a clean-shaven head without the razor during the periods I could not shave with a razor. I still can feel a light fuzz, as only a razor will get you smooth, but they are excellent IMO. That said, be sure to get some clipper oil to keep your blades sharp and they can last a long time. My (occasional) barber also swears by the Andis series. Good luck and keep us posted on everything!
BaldBeard:
Thanks for the reply, Sir Harry.
Also, I'm actually in remission already. I received radiation and chemo at the end of last year, and all the recent scans show I'm clear. Still, I appreciate the kind words!

I use the Andis BGRC with the outliner, #000000 blade. This blade is .1mm, so it leaves stubble twice as short as the #00000, which is .2mm. It's advertised as leaving about 5 hours post razor shave growth for the #000000 vs. 10 hours post razor shaved growth for the #00000. I can easily use this blade with and against the grain all over my head for a very shaved look. Good alternative if you like having just the tiniest bit of stubble rather than totally smooth. I bought the non-ceremic blade for the #000000 as the ceramic blades are a little scratchy when used against the grain.

Can you use them every day without too much irritation? I've had good success with clippers, but I found I don't like them for everyday shaving. And I'm trying to find an everyday solution that's quicker than shaving with a blade even if it's not quite as close.
