Hair clippers & trimmers

How to choose hair clippers

• Clipper or trimmer. A clipper cuts the whole head quickly; a trimmer finishes edges, beard and neckline.
• Power. Cordless lets you cut in the bathroom or while travelling; corded never runs flat mid-cut.
• Blades. Titanium and ceramic blades stay sharp longer and run cooler.
• Guards. A set of combs from 3 to 12 mm covers every length you need at home.
• Cleaning. A washable head you can rinse under the tap saves a lot of time.

Frequently asked questions

Can one clipper handle hair and beard? Often yes, provided it comes with a narrow trimmer head and short guards.

How do I look after the blades? Brush the hair away and add a drop of blade oil now and then — cutting stays smooth and the machine runs quieter.
