Someone upthread said a nice thing about Braun clippers.

They'll be fine I'm sure. Everybody goes on about how good wahl are but I've had ones that have packed in after a year or so (the battery packs in - I use hair trimmers to shave my face so use them every few days), as long as its not some no make jobbies they'll be fine

my hair is beginning to annoy me, so thinking of shaving it all off. Wary of disaster though. Anyone got any tips?
Only have a beard trimmer. Would it be foolish if I used that?
I shaved it once with razors when I was 16 and it looked horrible- cuts all over!

I have a Braun shaver and it is fine. They are quite a well known German (I believe) manufacturer.

Yeah, my hair might be a bit longer, but the effects of lockdown on my tonsorial habits has been nil, apart from growing the beard. If anything, I'm cutting my hair more

Don't cut or shave it; it's a good time to experiment with new styles
Also, only need to wash it once a week

I generally wash mine twice a week, and that seems just about right for me. I can't get my head around the idea of washing hair daily, thoughfrom today's rag Shave it or save it? The 11 big lockdown hair conundrums – answered by experts

Hmm, that could end up being an issue for me. Ah well, cross that bridge, etc.

I decided I could use a Braun hair and beard trimmer. It is available from shavers for £45.00 but from Argus for £25.00 (exact same item) .. now I am annoyed at Argos's delivery / collect regime. It isn't in stock at my local one where I could collect, it is available in an Argos further away, but they won't ship it, as I am too far away apparently. Grr ..

Decided to ramp up the search but buggered if I am going to pay £45 for something that costs £25 elsewhere!

Yeah, I tried Argos too. I'd have had to have made a 120-mile round trip journey to pick them up. Nah, thanks anyway.

What did you do in the end?

Went with shavers, and paid the extra for the quick delivery. I ordered on the Thursday evening before the Easter weekend, and it was delivered on the Wednesday morning. Can't complain about that, tbh
Judging by the price you mention, it's the same set as you are after. I've never had a set before, but I've been well impressed with this.

I may do that, I paid something like £45 for a Braun Shaver from Argos a year ago, so I have paid that sort of money for this sort of thing. Will ponder on it .. it would be nice to be able to get a trim next week ..
Good to hear.
Are the adjustable height combs easy to use?
I want to do a No 2 cut which might be about a quarter of an inch length ..

Absolute piece of piss to use. There's a lot of combs in the box, so I had to gulp read the instructions, but once you've got the right comb on it's easy.
