Hair Cutting Trimmer Razor, Hairdressing Styling Razor, Silver or Gold

Product Information

A taper lever is an advanced feature—a little doodad found on the side of a clipper that increases or decreases hair length more finely than you can get by switching combs or shifting the bottom blade forward or back. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Every expert we spoke with repeated the same basic mantra: Oil your clipper’s blade, and it will last years, even decades. As is true of blades, when it comes to motors, most home users wouldn’t notice much difference between types—other than their loudness.

In 2020 and 2021, we recruited a panel of seven testers with assorted hair types and textures—as well as varying levels of haircutting experience—to try out the clippers at home. Its sharp steel blades easily slice through fine, thick, smooth, and coarse hair without slowing down or clogging. A clipper like this may be worth the investment for a home full of people who need regular haircut maintenance. And thanks to a metal retaining clip on the back of the combs, they stay seated and straight on the blade better than any other set we tried.

If they are too rigid or sharp, they can chip or break or may be uncomfortable to scrape across a scalp. To regularly give haircuts at home, we’d reach first for the Wahl Elite Pro High Performance Hair Clipper Kit.

If you’re mostly clipping your own hair, the smaller, lighter, and easier-to-maneuver Remington Virtually Indestructible Haircut and Beard Trimmer may be a better choice than our heavier picks. This is a beautiful hairstyle for summer, and with multiple shades of the same color, attention is drawn to the artistry of the haircut.Next comes the choice of the razor, some hair cutting razors have exposed blades while others have guarded ones. For those looking to really hone their skills, look no further than our selection of specialist razors - perfect for achieving intricate designs or close shaves. 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. The Wahl Elite Pro’s hard-plastic case is compact, and it has a quality clasp and rigid hinges that allow it to seal correctly. It has the most reliable and easy-to-use guide combs of any clipper we’ve tried; in our tests, this turned out to be a key differentiator between an okay hair clipper and a great one.
