Wahl Professional 5 Star Corded Balding Clipper V5000 Motor Ultra Close Trimming

I still have a full head of hair but I like to shave my head and have been shaving my head on and off (mostly on) for 15 years and this clipper is perfect for the look I want: Which is to shave my head as short as possible while still leaving a very, very, very slight stubble that you can still make out my hairline. And this clipper does that because it come with Wahl's shortest blade which is a 6x0 blade that cuts to .2mm. Also, the guide combs make it very easy to do multiple types of fades, if you so choose.And the V5000 motor that comes with this clipper is powerful and gives you a NICE, SMOOTH and VERY EVEN CUT with ABSOULUTELY NO SNAGGING or SLICING of the scalp. For those people that are complaining about slicing their scalp with this clipper, I think: 1) You're holding the clipper wrong, 2) You're using the wrong angle, 3) Your blades aren't aligned properly, or 4) A combination of one or more of those things.Also, for those people giving this clipper a bad review because it doesn't shave your head like Mr. Clean, use a razor blade not a clipper. Because no matter what clipper or trimmer you buy, it will NEVER shave your head like a razor blade because it has to have a bottom blade and a top cutting blade, and no matter how thin someone can manufacture the bottom blade it will ALWAYS sit between your scalp and the top cutting blade. Basically you're giving this clipper a bad review because you're expecting this clipper to do something it's not designed to do. That would be like me buying a supercharged Hemi V8 and then complaining about the gas mileage.Anyway, the clipper feels sturdy and well made even though it's made of plastic. And it fits comfortably in both of my hands and the power cord is much thicker and longer (8ft) than my other buzzers which is nice. And I was a little worried about the clipper heating up with its stronger motor but it stayed cool throughout my 35-40 minute shave. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this clipper for those people that aren't going for a Mr. Clean look but a really, really short shaved head. For everyone else, USE A RAZOR BLADE.P.S. I added a couple of pictures in the customer image section after using the 5 Star Series Balding Clipper to give people an idea how short this clipper cuts. Hope it helps.

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
