Looking for some kind of hair clipper thing after my current one seems to have conked out. Tried taking it apart/oiling etc but as soon as it makes contact with anything solid it slows down/tears out chunks of hair.
I seem to end up buying a new one every year/two years tops which is just stupid. What's something that will last a long time if looked after? I'd love it to be cordless and I'd love it even more if it could charge via USB but suspect the last two are unlikely (cordless seems to mean limited lifespan which I begrudgingly understand - there's no shaver charger in our bathroom so it means running an extension near the door).
This looks solid but may well just be glitter on shit: https://www.babyliss.co.uk/cordless-super-motor-clipper-BAB8700U.html
Want something that will shave my head (so not completely cumbersome to use that I need to sit on the toilet while Mrs CYOA comes in and does the bits I've missed) and keep beard sporadically looking tidy.
