• That is perfect for dad.  He refuses to go completely shaved, but has been buzzing his hair to a zero for years since the MPB really kicked in.

• Welcome! And not to worry. If you were to mess up with the clippers you can just shave. I don't say that out of bias, I just mean that if you're looking for that close you could shave and be back there in a matter of days. Best of luck on the purchase!

• Welcome iCyborg, sounds like the clipper route is right for you at this point.
  
  I would check out either Wahl or Remington, as they both have a great selection and numerous types to choose from. Wahl is the tops in my opinion.
  Just start with one of the longer guards/attachments and go from there until you get the desired length.
  Good luck and keep us posted.

  3. This is what ebay is showing me http://health.shop.ebay.in/i.html?_nkw=clipper&_sacat=11838&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313&_fspt=1&_sadis=200&LH_BIN=1&LH_PrefLoc=6&_pm=2&_fpos=Pincode&_odkw=&_osacat=11838 - the clippers are very cheap (which is a good thing!)
  
  4. How is this deal ? nose hair trimmer   + shaver http://cgi.ebay.in/2-In-1-Shaver-And-Nose-And-Ear-Hair-Trimmer_W0QQitemZ330351539386QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_203?hash=item4cea7c74ba&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
  
  All these are bellow $20 so they are well under my budget
  
  edit -I checked other threads but I am not able to find wahl or oster model or Panasonic ER147 on ebay

• Here is the one I use.  It is inexpensive and easy to clean.  I believe I got mine at Target.  It did a perfect job on my head, face and goatee.  Great for trimming stray hairs and also has the nose/ear attachment.  Also has the wide and narrow attachments for precision trimming.  And it was only $20.

• You should get a Wahl Chrome Pro Haircutting Kit. Wahl is one of the most
  well know brands and they have the quality to back them up .
  I got mine at walmart for about 35 dlls and it included :
  a clipper, 10 regular guides, 2 guides for around the ears,
  1 eyebrow guide, a pair of scissors, a barbers cape, 2 combs,
  clipper lubricant and a clipper cleaning brush.
  
  Also if your planning of using a machine for both your beard and your head i
  would suggest getting hair clippers instead of beard trimmers ( believe me, its
   a nightmare trying to cut all your hair with a tiny beard trimmer,
   and it keeps getting jammed because theres just not enough
   power from those tiny motors ).

  If I might ask, why was it not for you Mike.?
  
  
  

  
  The balding comb on it didn't cut as close as my old Vidal Sasson clippers set at "Fine." I want my hair as short as possible before shaving and while it was a great head buzzer, it wasn't truly a balder.
