Wahl Professional 5 Star Balding Clipper, Corded V5000 Electromagnetic Motor, for Ultra-Close Trimming

One of the best hair care purchases I've made! I am balding on top but thick hair all around the sides. I keep my head shaved. I got tired of the time and expense of shaving to the skin, so tried these. I have used various other clippers and shavers in the past with mixed effect. I've even used other Wahl products (which have always been solid products) but I love these best. It won't get you "slick" but basically equal to one night's growth (which blends in well with my "5 o'clock shadow"). I love it! I can go weeks before needing to clip again and if I do need to go slick, I easily clip grown out hair with the Wahl 5 star balding clippers to a perfect height for my electric razor to finish off in no time. For those that say it cuts, you have to be a at specific angle and pushing hard (usually repeatedly in one spot) for this to occur. They probably do not stretch the skin either, which is how you stay safe and get a better clip anyway. I nicked myself once but it was extremely minor and I was rushing (with a sweaty head). Within 30 mins you couldn't tell a thing. Use as directed and there is no issue. It is perfectly fine for home use or professional, very reliable, very sturdy, and easy to maintain. It paid for itself in 3 clips. I do advise cleaning the skin before use to prevent bumps or razor burn. And like all quality clippers, you have to oil and keep them clean. The only draw back may be the cord but it is plenty long enough and allows for a powerful clip so for me it is a non-issue. If you don't want a bald cut, they do offer multi-length options that are very good. I have used them in the past and prefer Wahl to Conair or others of its type. The others aren't necessarily bad, (I had a conair clipper for years) I just seem to have better luck with cuts and quality with Wahl. My advice, buy them and pair it with a Braun Series 7 (or above) electric shaver for your face (and those days you need to go slick)!Wahl Professional 5-Star Balding Clipper #8110 - Great for Barbers and Stylists - Cuts Surgically Close for Full Head Balding - Twice the Speed of Pivot Motor Clippers - Accessories Included
