Oster Fast Feed vs Wahl Balding

(1/3) > >>

dk:
Hey all,

For the last few years my routine has been to trim my hair all the way to the lowest that my Oster Fast Feed will go. According to Oster, this is 000. I do this once a week on Fridays.

It's generally OK but by the next Wednesday it is already a bit longer than I'd like it.

I'm wondering if switching to the Wahl Balding clipper, which is 6x0, would make it noticeably shorter by middle of the next week? Or maybe another different clipper? Or would the difference be negligible?

I'm trying to maintain my once-weekly head trim. Obviously I can do it more frequently but just curious if there is a better tool for the job without increasing frequency.

Thanks

My oyster has interchangeable blades and they include 000, 0000, and 00000 blades.

Even though you may get it closer, I doubt you will see a significant difference with a weekly trim.

The Oster Fast Feed does NOT have interchangeable blades, just one blade of adjustable length: https://www.osterpro.com/barbers-stylists/clippers/oster-fast-feed-adjustable-pivot-motor-clipper/SAP_76023510001.html.

You have something else.

That's my suspicion as well. The difference between 000 and 6x0 is something like 0.2mm. That much can grow very quickly.

I guess I will have to either switch to a razor or start trimming twice weekly.

Have you ever shaved? I can tell you a smooth shaved head feels amazing! It can be addictive, that's why alot of guys end up shaving daily.
