I like the Andis series clippers which I own one....I don't own any Phillips, but regardless, most of the clippers, regardless of brand, give a smooth look, but nothing does it as smooth as a razor IMO.
Wahl "Baldfader" trimmers worked well for me. They have much finer teeth than the standard Wahl clippers and other clippers I looked at. This means that they really pick up all the hairs well (like a fine tooth comb does) and they cut pretty close to give that one day growth look and feel
Hi Anup. I bought the Philips QC5550 a few weeks ago and think it's absolutely brilliant. I buzz mine to about a number one, but the balder attachment will leave you clean
Hi, Anup....Sorry I took so long to respond back after your last question, but the key with most razors is to lubricate them with clipper oil before every use or at least once every three shaves. The clipper oil helps keep the teeth from rusting which can lead to a severe breakout of razor bumps. As for razor bumps, do you wash your scalp after every shave? What do you use for aftershave? Another possibility to stop razor bumps is to rub an ice cube across your scalp after every shave. PM me if you need some more suggestions on clippers and/or razor bumps. Good luck!
Even if you don't use aftershave, NEVER just shave and not apply something to calm the pores down. Even if you just use an ice cube, ALWAYS do some form of post-shave treatment even if it's just an ice cube rub, rubbing alcohol or just some witch hazel. It may burn or sting, but it's much better than doing nothing and getting razor bumps.
Hi Anup, No oiling or blade changing required with the Philips QC5550. They have self sharpening blades and the unit is waterproof, so you can wash it out.
