- Who are babyliss? -

Babyliss is a successful unisex grooming company that has groomed everyone for over 40 years. Babyliss was established in 1960 originally in Paris; and swung into action during the sixties with vigor and flair. During this time, a newly sex revolution was taking hold as was new hair design concepts; big style influences were used in mass media for the first time 'vanity products went through the roof' a perfect climate for a major brand to step forward, and so it was Babyliss who was the brand people flocked to especially in Paris; before the company went global during the 1980's many brands came and went and wanted to be the next Babyliss. The versatile nature of Babyliss extended product ranges regulary and were always known as the pioneers of hair products.

The 1980's was another culture period that enabled them to experiment with more exciting products. This was when Babyliss branched out globally and helped enriched Western culture values; at this time it was Paris who enveloped the fashion world. It is no surprise that Babyliss secured their future by being a Parisian fashion icon.

A true money saver for every man - I must admit that using the male grooming hair clipper has saved me lots of money. Financially, it is a £15.00 per month money saver, or a £15.00 per 6 week hair session.

Self male grooming, especially your hair is a nerve racking experience, but the results will surprise you and a strong trust in your male grooming kit is essential.

The I - Clip trimmer set is a standard male hair clipper set with accessories including the re-charger kit - measuring length tools - razorhead protectors - comb and scissors - cleaning kit - manual - 1 year guarantee - adjustable leverage. It has also 5 settings for a beard light trim to a designer stubble mode leverage; for those who would like to emulate the Bruce Willis 'Die Hard' image.

The bladesare made of titanium. All clippers are very delicate and should not be re-assembled for those of you who like to see how the clippers are attached. The flexibility of the clippers are essential for speed and back and forward movement. The clippers are 0.5 inches along. Clippers can be changed but it is important to know that it might not necessary be the same again after swapping clippers.

Babyliss give you a guide also to do the adjustments, however, it can prove difficult to get the new clippers in the same position as they were. By being just 0.05 mm out can make a big difference and can make the clippers vibrate when used. The sound of the rotation determines whether the clippers are correctly positioned. The correct sound should be a small humming noise, when ON.

There is an ON /OFF switch and has a mains attachment at the bottom, for re-charging and power. This product does not require oiling at anytime.

-Adjustment of clippers-

This product deals with every aspect of user ability. For a professional cut the adjustable lever is important for dealing with difficult hair follicles that have a mind of their own. This I do believe is a unique selling point to all products branded, Babyliss. Other manufacturers have this but the adjustable lever to just the left of the clippers has 5 adjustable points/positions that gives that more professional finish to your hair cut. That little difference can make quite a statement to your everyday lifestyle.

-*High Quality accessories* -

You have 8 comb guides that are very easy to clip on to your clippers. Their is a knack to the click on, but easy to workout. The comb range is 3mm - 25mm in length. The lengths determine the length and choice you want to your hair finish. For those who rather have no length; no clippers are required and the clippers cut down to your scalp, leaving about 1 mm, on average depending how many times you move the clippers around your head. I recommend about two times just in case any stray hairs get missed. The scissors are the professional kind and that is vital. The sharper they are the better. Scissors on their own can retail price at nearly £100.00 and sometimes more. The scissors are the standard Babyliss brand, which is alone worth a few ponds when sold individually.

-Cleaning brush-

This item in the package is probably the most important. Yep, it is amazing by just cleaning the left over hair from the clippers can make a huge difference to clipper performance. The brush needs to clean out the clippers after every use, otherwise over a period of time the hair will damage the chrome mechanism. It is also to note that any products that are on your hair at the time will also be a problem to the clippers mechanism. It does make good sense to wash your hair before use of this product. Dry your hair fully, untill bone dry so no products are obvious on your hair. I usually have wax styled on my hair so this is quite important to remember.

- The mains and re-chargeble kit -

This is the same thing. What I have found is that the mains lead can be a problem when cutting hair as it does tend to drape unwantingly around your neck. What is welcoming is to leave the mains on attached to the Babyliss itself and wait for 30 minutes before any cutting takes place. This allows enough time for the Babyliss to re-charge and you then can work around your head cordless and without strangling yourself.

For beginners who are not too confident. It is best that you use the mains cord attached to the Babyliss, otherwise the battery life will run out and the clipper rotation will slow up and therefore won't be such a good cut. The average battery life is about 28 minutes before the clippers noticeably slow-up.

*My experience*

This product has made me more aware of my male grooming. By enjoying the hair-cut sensation and seeing the quick reward of re-shaping my hairstyle, has made me more vain. I spend more time in the bathroom than really is required and it has caused friction with certain females that are close to me. I guess that is human nature. The only problem that has occurred is where do you put all the unwanted hairs, it does get everywhere and it's important for cleansiness to clean-up after yourself straight after the male grooming has taken place; otherwise it can attract unwanted attention. Not only do you feel good afterwards, you look good afterwards.

-Price-
