The Color Pro Plus also comes in a cordless version , though it has a different motor and includes four fewer guards. It offers roughly 60 minutes of service. The Oster Fast Feed Adjustable Pivot Motor Clipper is a staple of barbershops because of its power, ruggedness, and reliability—it can work all day without fatiguing the stylist or causing its motor to overheat.
This clipper has more muscle than most people need at home. But compared with other pro-level models we tested, the Oster is considerably easier to use and generally less expensive.
This model is the best by far for smaller hands, and its mesh storage case takes up a minimal amount of room. They attach and seat firmly, unlike on some other models we tested, whose attachments had enough play that they could go on crooked or pop off altogether.
This Remington also has a thick but pliable 8-foot power cord that seems tough enough to last years but also wraps easily for storage.
In addition, this model is extremely quiet, despite its magnetic motor. Though we think the eight included rigid guide combs are a step up from the typical flexible plastic ones found in many sets, they can feel a little too pointy and sharp. Full disclosure: It hurts. Our testers found that wanting. The Virtually Indestructible is the only one of our picks covered by a lifetime warranty blades excluded.
So if you are the sort to hold on to any device until it dies, your investment will likely be with you for a long time—all the more reason to pick a winner. Ever loyal to his vintage clippers, he refused to test these newcomers. If you want top performance, a five-point oiling goes like this: Before each use, place a drop on each side of the blade and one in the middle while the blade is running; then place one on either side where the moving lower blade rubs against the fixed upper blade.
Move the razor around a bit to let the oil travel—but then tip it so the blades point downward, to let excess oil run out, away from the motor which can get gummed up over time. Turn off the clipper and gently dab the excess oil away with a tissue or towel, being sure not to snag fibers or paper. Most manufacturers also recommend that, following a haircut, you wipe away loose hairs with a stiff bristle brush almost always included along with oil , followed by another oiling to prevent potential surface rust.
When you run out of the tiny included bottle of oil, you can use food-grade mineral oil instead. Avoid 3-In-One, WD, or other non-food-safe lubricants, which may cause a skin reaction.
Many clippers with magnetic motors as opposed to pivot or rotary motors have a large adjustment screw located on the side. Clippers even lower-end ones can take a substantial amount of abuse, but just a single drop on a hard surface, such as a tiled bathroom floor, can instantly kill a motor or damage the housing enough to make the clipper a lost cause. Barber Eric Aleman cautioned in particular that should you ever drop a clipper, be sure to immediately inspect the blade for any bent or especially broken teeth.
A broken tooth will make instant mincemeat of skin. The Andis Master is a gorgeous piece of industrial design, a dumbbell-heavy, polished aluminum beauty with a powerful yet quiet magnetic motor.
All of our pro testers mentioned having it in their arsenals at one point or another. The now-discontinued Andis Ceramic BGRC is a wonderful machine: lightweight, comfortable to hold, with a whisper-quiet rotary motor and a ceramic top blade capable of blazing through thick hair with ease.
And it comes with no attachments. We wanted to love the Andis Headliner Combo , a discontinued piece kit that included a corded clipper as well as a corded trimmer, along with guide combs, scissors, brush, oil, and more. But we were put off by the low-quality guide combs, which we found too flexible to be trustworthy. The included battery-operated trimmer is useful and is in fact a missing element from our top pick.
It comes with eight guide combs double the number that come with our corded upgrade pick, the Oster Fast Feed. But our testers found the experience of using this clipper to be very similar to using the less-expensive Fast Feed and Wahl Elite Pro models we recommend. It is specifically made for taper work and precision fades—which leads to excellent pro-level detail work. But for at-home haircuts, this model may require unreasonable skill and artistry.
Although beard and body-hair trimmers are generally not ideal for cutting hair, many of them come with guide combs that in a pinch can be useful for at-home haircuts.
The Philips Norelco MG , our top-pick beard trimmer , comes with 14 guide combs, including four meant for head hair. But this model is not as powerful as any of our hair-clipper picks, and switching its guards when using this model specifically for a haircut is somewhat of a pain. This is a vital procedure towards ensuring that you attain the optimum lifespan of your beard trimmer. Every part mechanical part needs proper lubrication for smooth trimming. Your blades are the vital assets of your trimmer and thus need an adequate car.
If you do not buy your trimmer with its oil, worry not as most of the available vegetable oils can serve this purpose.
Coconut oil makes a good lubricant for clippers. You do not have to worry about getting a special oil for your clippers. This allows you the freedom to use most of the oils you get off the shelf. Coconut oil is a good option for your clippers to ensure they work perfectly. There is a lot to learn every day when it comes to the use of trimmers for grooming your beard.

I've got my first hair on my face at about 15 years old. That's pretty early! It took me to about my 30's to consider growing it all out. After this decision, I've done tons of trial and error, and with that knowledge created this blog to help others in the same situation.

Analytics analytics. Read times. I bought a Wahl clipper set a couple years back and I figure I have used less than 10 times. As I'm cutting my son's hair, I see stray hairs that are not cut to length but are now sticking out. I interpret that as the clippers being dull. It's advertised as self-sharpening, but I haven't been good about oiling every time. Was that my mistake? How do other people's Wahls or other clippers perform and how much maintenance do you do on them?
Did I just get a dud? Could it be because I was hitting it against the sink to get the hair out of the blades and misaligned something? Is it realistic to go get another set, treat it better, and expect a much longer life? I know Wahl is not a bad brand. I recommend some googling to see if others have similar issues and how they resolved them.
