OT: Hair Trimmers

I've have one of these for 3 (maybe 4?) years, battery still doing well.

I got one of these:

Writ large, that is why slurging huge amounts of money into trying to keep things "the same" is a criminal waste of money.

We have had a set of Wahl battery powered clippers since around 2010 when we bought them to use when travelling round the world.

They take batteries (so don't require mains to charge) and come with a range of combs so will do a range of hair lengths.

I've looked on the Wahl site and they don't seem to be listed there, so non-rechargeable is probably well out of fashion.

However Wahl have always done us well, for corded and cordless, so they seem like a good bet.

I bought this one and have found it excellent:

For many years I've used Remington hair trimmers (HC5150, I think) every few weeks on head and beard (and, sometimes, pubes!) and have had no problems except the battery has now just-about died so it's due for replacement, but it works from the mains as well. I'm probably on my second trimmer and second or third set of replacement combs in 15-20 years.

Ask a sheep farmer ?. :-)

Wahl.

Yeah, I haven't gone back after trying it more than a decade ago now. So much more convenient than farting around with a barber even without the virus.

I don't do it anything even remotely like that often.

I mow mine back to a stubble because that is by far the simplest approach, no comb on the trimmer at all. So it looks fine just after its been mown.

Yeah, it is more convenient to have it battery powered when mowing but with mine the buggers can't work out how to charge it so you get a decent lifetime out of the batteries. It still works with the charging cable plugged in but eventually even that doesn't work. Must do a warranty claim this time. The batteries aren't replaceable. and I haven't seen a powerful one which does have replaceable batteries.

Fraid not.

Get a pair of hairdressers scissors and use the beard trimmer on most Philips shavers, far better than the competition, ie they work. I've had these scissors for many years now. they usually have a point at the tip of both blades to make it easier to cut close around those inconvenient things called ears. Brian

That's what she said. Fnar, Fnar !

I've been getting repeated ads for this on facebook recently.
