DIY Hair trimmers

[numbnuts]

I can’t remember the last time I went to a hairdressers, I wash my hair, put it in a ponytail and trim the ends - job done

I've used Babyliss for a long time now with only one reservation. The last time that I trimmed my pubes with it I came down with double pneumonia that almost killed me! Barber beware!

Wahl.

Bought a simple mains-powered one over 20 years ago and has never failed.

Have to cut my hair every 2-3 weeks so its had a lot of use. Just needs oiling every once in a while. (I use bike oil )

Wahl is king in Africa where everybody shaves their head.

Did this myself about 9 years ago. Wife now cuts my hair - last time I paid someone to do it was the day before my wedding in, err, 2004, I think... The only problem I had was on New Year's Eve 2007 (awaiting 2008). Wife was very ill, about to go out on my own, tired and generally fractious, Christmas not having gone well. Started shaving my head, almost finished, checked my head, and realised that I had forgotten the plastic comb bit, and had given myself a No.0!

I agree that you need help for the neck line. Round the ears are best done by yourself.


I would advise against a Babyliss. Mine broke down after about 4 years. Now got a Remmington that seems much better made.

Wahl mains, not battery. They gobble batteries.

Rechargeable - built in batteries gets me two complete shaves in the shower with no mess to clear up!
My Wahl is for emergencies only and I don't use it in the shower(the cable won't reach).

I've had mine for over 25 years. The make is Oster, they're actually dog clippers but are the same thing although they're pretty sturdy. The box had a nice picture of a clipped poodle or some such on it.

Woof woof!!

There's nothing wrong with dog clippers - I use them all the time!

Not sure about the poodle though
