Default Hair Clippers

Right, I need to buy some new hair clippers for shaving my head.

I have 2 pairs of Remingtons here at home, and frankly they're both a load of crap. They are ok with plastic guards on, but without guards (i.e. to shave very close) the sharp ends of the comb dig into my skin.

This is the one I just bought, which is crap. Buy Remington Professional DLC Hair Clipper. at Argos.co.uk

Any suggestions for one that cuts close, is easy to use on yourself, and is reasonable quality?

How about this one? Buy Philips QC5170 Hair Clipper - Cut Your Own Hair. at Argos.co.uk

Or any other recommendations?

Ta.

Buy Remington Salon Professional Ceramic Hair Cut Kit. at Argos.co.uk

I use this for the weekly No.1

Would no way use it for a baldy cut though.

Quite fancy that now

Wahl by far the best for the money...

Just keep them clean and oiled regulalry and they'll last for ages and perform well throughout

I bought the 1st Wahl set about 16 years ago (£15) and a 2nd set a couple of years ago (£5) in case the 1st set broke in the middle of a cut

So for a total outlay of £20 i must have saved over £1k in hairdresser bills
