when i was a kid my parents decided to save money on haircuts so purchased from the sunday paper ads what i can only describe as a comb with razor blades in it, you comb your hair and it cut it at the same time, suffice to say i am still scarred from the p!ss taking i got at school about my very bad haircut

We've got a proper clipper set - my missus whizzes me over with a number two every couple of weeks and it works fine. I go to the barbers once every couple of months for a tidy up when I have a 1 at the back and sides.
It is utter tripe. I got one for xmas last year. The blade is so far from the actual edge you still end up using the trimmer that comes with it to do the edges and it leaves odd long hairs unless you use it for ages. I found it quicker to go back to my normal hair trimmer and didn't have to dick about with charging the main babylis thing and then farting about with batteries for the included trimmer.
Get a good quality cordless one and get a good cut in one go rather than faffing about for ages and still not having a top cut.
P.s i do a number 2 all over with no gradients or that marlarky and the Babyliss is still crap.
Sounds like a piece of tulip, thanks for the warning. I have clippers at home, not cordless though. Ah well the wife will have to keep doing the chore.

I looked at that while in the UK last week but didn't actually get round to buying it. In most stores it was around the 45 quid mark but in Sainsburys it was only 30 quid.
Good price, my only concern is the back where the barber usually asked if you want it squared or tapered. Still need the missus to do that now and again, unless you are good with mirrors.

Was looking at this, seems a good idea to keep my short hair short, can use it a few times a week, without spending £10 at the local barbers or asking the wife to do it.
