BEST Clippers for Head-Shavers Who Don't Like a Razor Shaved Dome!!!
SoKoSteve:
Hey all,
First post here.
I just bought the Wahl Balding clippers and I used them straight out of the box without adjusting them. I was able to do my head fine and it got sandpaper-y close, but the neck was a little dicey and I had some minor irritation.
I adjusted them a tiny amount (I think the blades were actually over the guard a fraction of a millimeter) and now I can use them on my head, face, and neck without issue.
They are powerful, too; nothing like those beard and body trimmers that you've gotta run over the same spot a dozen times.

Cuts very close then?

Just signed up here. I remember scanning through this thread a while back as i was looking for a new electric razor / clipper.
Still am. I tend to prefer the 1 - 3 days growth look (after clean shave) and was looking to pick up something that would let me maintain that.
Is there any general consensus on what the best option is? seems to be a lot of mixed opinions. Whilst the wahl balding clips appear to be the most well known, ive seen some not so great reviews.
The foil shavers i saw mentioned seemed to be more what i was looking for
something like: http://www.barbergear.co.uk/shop/andis-profoil-lithium-titanium-foil-shaver/
think i must of found it and bookmarked it form when i first browsed this thread. Curious if many have experience with using foil shavers to get a close shave on their head?

I still champion the Wahl balding clipper. I see lots of reviews on people who seem to cut themselves. I ask myself how they are using them. I've been using mine for a year on and off and I've never cut myself once. I use them very quickly too. I can do my whole head in 5-10 mins. It cuts to what I'd say equivalent to 1.5 days growth from sly. Leaves a rough stubbly feel and looks really good. Very powerful and strong clippers, if maintained properly, your grandchildren could use. Mine will probably outlast me. I love them. Never had an issue with them, cut evenly and consistently every time.

Dan , I find a foil shaver will not give the cut you want. It will be almost as short as a blade razor. I would suggest the use of a regular Wahl clipper , not the Balding clipper. Less chances of nicks and cuts.Also many have an adjustable blade .
