Title: NO more blades.
Post by: Sup on May 31, 2008, 09:27:48 AM

Hi all, since 1 week i've decided to stop using blades for shaving my head. Very simple, it just costs to much and takes 2 much time in the morning :(.

Instead, now i use the wahl balding clipper  :XX and i love it. It shaves really well, like your second day after shaving with blades.

I've had my first knicks with the balding already  :(, but after a few days that doesnt happen anymore.

So for now no more blades, instead ill go for the Wahl balding  :@`.

You can nick yourself with the Wahl balding clippers, too, if  you're not careful.

Yeah, i had some serious knicks, but after some clipperdays its not to hard to shave it without knicks :)

I used the balding clippers a few times, but found it was actually more work than shaving.  They're big and bulky to use, and I found it hard not to miss spots, especially around the ears and the back of the neck.  And then there's the hair you have to clean up afterwards.  Plus, your dome is never really smooth.

what's the name of them? i didnt' see any called "balders" or anything like that, it just seemed they all cut down to 1/8 inch like a normal pair of clippers do.

Try one of the special barbershops that sell all the stuff barbers need. I got mine that way. Just call em and ask if they got the Wahl Balding Clipper.
