Title: Vidal Sassoon Balder/Fader
Post by: Cy 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?

Post by: Cy on January 22, 2008, 09:52:01 PM: 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.

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.
