Default Question for all the skinheads on here.

For all of you that cut your own hair,
what clippers do you use?
Mine have died and I need to get some new ones, the last lot I bought were crap, hard to use, hurt..
The 1s I had previous were great but no longer available.

Any 1 got any recomendations?
I don't wanna waste my money on another set that are no good.

How close do you want? Mine looks like a day after wet shaving it.

They are VERY close and I don't think you can get a closer cut.

By far the best clippers I've had.

Remington.

I've really abused mine and they've been spot on. Sometimes get clogged up and stop cutting, but easily cleaned out and serviced.

I use mine for my head and my face. I never shave clean, just use the clippers on a grade zero, same as my head.

I've got these....

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...3ECLIPPERS.htm

They work ok but if you do it yourself & dont get the angle quite right sometimes the jagged edges properly dig into your bonce which fookin hurts.

For some reason my old set didnt do this - probably because the ends of them werent quite as pointy.

I've always wondered how well these would work too...

I used to use them with no guard on the shortest setting once a week
then started getting lazy and doing it once every 2weeks sometimes more.
No I think it looks a bit better slightly longer so will probably do a grade 1 once a week.
It doesn't help I've got a goatee and only shave my face when it gets soo itchy I can't bare it and I've got thick black eyebrows lol
so I regularily have more hair on my face than my head. Lol

Cut's nice and close to the skin without to much bother.
