Title: Electric shavers / clippers with 0.2 to 1.5mm length options?
Post by: orenoren on December 24, 2016, 08:23:39 PM

Hello fellow bald guys :)

I am new here and hope its alright to start of with a specific question for my balding head.

I was using the Philips Norelco Headgroom clipper (with the 180degree swivel head thingy), but found after roughly 6 month the length settings are constantly adjusting themselves while i shave or clip my head. So even i choose for example the 1.5mm setting, it changes to a longer or even shorter setting while I trim, so that obviously sucks.

Now i am looking for a replacement. Since i did not dare yet to use a clipper without a length guard to get a really fully shaved head, i would like a clipper or shaver that has the length option in the range of 0.2 (or how ever close is possible) to 1.5mm. So i can gradually get closer to an actual shave, step by step.

Anybody has a good suggestion for me or experience to share?

Thanks and Merry Christmas !

Orenoren

Have you seen this thread yet? http://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=16794.0

I know that many people like the Wahl Balding Clipper and Andis clippers.

Hello Tyler,

thanks for the hint. After reading these posts i ended up buying the Wahl Balding Clipper.

I just did my "first" clipping with the Wahl. My fringe still too visible

I actually hoped the Wahl Balding Clipper would cut it even a bit closer. But for some reason i dont dare to just wet shave it all off.... yet
