Vidal Sassoon Balder/Fader
« on: January 22, 2008, 04:54:42 PM »
I was wondering if anyone's tried this one.... it's like electric clippers ala Headblade

It looks cool, but it's pretty heavy.... your thoughts?

UPDATE:

Bought it on sale for $10 AND .....

It sucks. Doesn't cut as close as my beard trimmer, and it doesn't look as cool as it does on the package.

Sorry I jumped in late.  I could have saved you $10.  IT SUCKS!  It doesn't even give a good buzz cut.

Sorry bro, should have posted earlier -- it sucks badly. I got mine for $12 on sale.

Put it on eBay with some cool chick holding it on a boy and you might get $20- remember the flowbee.  It's worth a try. :/O

Thanks guys,

The rubber they use to make it had a funny/awful smell so I returned it.

I bought a Whopper and called it a night.
