Advantages: The wonder of the Flexicomb
Disadvantages: Not cordless

...head, then please buy a PHILIPS QC 5010 and let me know how it works. But don't come anywhere near me. HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE LENGTH ONCE THE FLEXICOMB IS LOCKED IN PLACE, EH? You twist the base of the razor till it increases/decreases the distance between the flexicomb and the blades. There's a little window at the bottom with a number indicating what length in millimetres it will cut your hair. It goes from 3 mm to 21 mm, at 3mm intervals. This ...
...is super easy. Using the Philips QC 5010 is just easy. YEAH, WHAT ELSE? Er, it's pretty light. The boxed weight is only 1kg, so unboxed it's, well, a bit less than 1kg. This may be a good thing if you are a weakling, or a bad thing if you ever drop it and it breaks. I am unwilling to drop it on purpose to see if it smashes; I would do anything for love (of Ciao) but I won't do that. It's not cordless, but frankly, I don't care about that. Imagine ...

Advantages: Does the job
Disadvantages: Pulls at hairs

...each and opt for the Remington HC 210 c attracted by the price and the number of attachments. They are £17.99 and the clippers are exposed in the packaging. The actual hand set is really chunky and is metallic silver. There is a blue seethrough plastic lever to the left of the blades. This is the taper lever, which enables you to fine tune the length of the blade. My hands are like shovels so I dont mind the hand set being so chunky, but for those ...
...and heavy side. The Remington comes with 8 guide combs which determine how long or short the hair ends up. These are 25mm(1"), 18mm(3/4"), 12mm(1/2"), 9mm(3/8"), 7mm(1/4"), 3mm(1/8") and a left and right taper. Also included is a brush for the blade, a tapered comb and some scissors which are very basic and do not really look very professional. Mmm maybe I should have paid a bit more. There is a grey canvas style zip bag with royal blue piping which ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, good quality, Good Results
Disadvantages: None

...so I opted for the Wahl 300 Series. The clipper came in a nice although not overly sturdy carry case in which there was the clipper, 8 'combs' (grades 1 to 8) which are used to vary the length of the cut /shave, a pair of scissors, a lightweight brush for cleaning up, some oil for the clippers and a video demonstrating how to use the kit to implement a few basic cuts. The clippers is easy to use, just select the appropriate 'comb' (or for a really ...
...on top of the clippers, set the small lever on the side (this lets you increase the cut length by half a grade), plug into the mains, flick the rather firm clip on the side and away to go. The clippers is just like the ones used in the barbers and is quite heavy and just as noisy as the ones the barbers. They are easy to use and give a good result. Cleaning is easy, just brush and blow away and loose hairs, apply a little of oil supplied and replace ... Read review

Advantages: The professional looking hair cut you get
Disadvantages: none

...when I first used the Remington SCC100 - put simply, it is brilliant!! The finish you get looks like (cliche alert!) you've just stepped out of the hairdressers. Its uncanny how it looks exactly the same as if you'd got it done professionally. The device itself is very easy to use, and fits well in the hand. Its curved design ensures that the cut is level, and you can choose from 5 different settings; 1 being the shortest which just happens to be ...
...go away, but with the Remington SCC100 you can really see what you've cut, which wasn't always the case with my previous clippers. I am truly staggered by its capability - hence why Im writing this review not more than 1 hour from when I first used it! Perhaps when Im brave enough I'll try the clippers without the guard to see if you can get an even shorter cut. So, if you're in any doubt about buying the Remington SCC100, let me assure you that ... Read review
