Unfortunately I would have to agree with Tyler.

Thing is guys, once you have your head sly, wouldnt a foil or rotary shaver be better than a clipper to keep it almost as sly as with a wet shaver?

When I used to work at the prison we got free haircuts and had a barber shop there since military haircut was required.at the time I wore a bald fade haircut so the sides were skin and he would use the oster clippers for lining up on the sides they would bite but it was almost at slick as the razor
Semper Paratus!

Derris and all,

First time balding my head last week. I just went to the barber and had him do it. But now I'd like to do it myself. Based on the helpful reviews and comments here, I went with the Walh 5-Star Balding Clippers. One thing though: I've heard that these clippers can be deadly (gouging and causing cuts on the scalp). Anything I should be aware of? Do I have to adjust them before I use them the first time?

Not really. Just use some common sense.

Anyone got any recommendations for quality clippers that go to 00000 for under $100?

I don't like the razor shaved dome look especially since I have a lot of my hair still.

The hair trimming blade on my Norelco head groom broke, anyone know where to get replacement parts.

baldOUfan, they stopped making them I'm pretty sure. You may be able to order it directly off of their site or on amazon but it looks like they're phasing it out.

To the OP, alright so I've watched a lot of barber videos of the Wahl 5 Star shaver and the Andis Profoil and I think I'm going with Wahl. But what I want to know is, will that beast make the whole head even and not leave patches of longer hair??

A trimmer will trim every hair to the same length. It wouldnt leave some longer than others.

Right, but what I'm asking about are shavers, not trimmers. Some electric shavers (from my experience) will leave random patches of hair and not touch them. That's why I said to hell with norelco and am focusing on powerful motor foil shavers.

Ok, but everyone's head is different so a shaver will be good for one person and not good for another due to different shape and bumps and hollows etc.

My Braun is good but as I said I need to go over a couple of places because of the shape or terrain of my head.

Once I have shaved with the Braun you wouldn't be able to tell there are some rough patches! It's only by feel I know there are some there!

There are a lot of good head shavers out there but I do prefer using a hand razor myself. I love the baby butt smooth feeling that I get from usinmg a hand razor.
