  • My hair is getting very thin (the stuff on my head anyway). Visited a new barber the other day as I couldn't be bother with the schlep down to see my usual lot, they went shorter than I would have liked which really exposes the issue. I'm thinking it's time for it all to go soon.

    I have a Wahl Super Taper. Is it possible to get a decent cut doing it solo with that? Or any recommendations for another clipper that will make the job easier?

    Wahl Colour Pro for the past 4 or so. The combs it comes with are coloured, which makes it easier for middle-aged eyes to not pick the wrong one & end up looking like a toilet brush.

    The (lithium ion) battery is good for 3+ cuts, and that's fannying around cutting, with tapering & all that nonsense. Cables are a pain to deal with.

    Mine won't need replacing in a few years with dead batteries either Captain Landfill.

    Still using the Wahl I bought in late 90's, but currently visiting barbers to make the least worst of my remaining hair whilst I still have some.
