Cutting the mustard?

Advantages: Robust, Rechargable, Waterproof
Disadvantages: After sales service

...properly and found that the Nicky Clarke NCM14 had been awarded "best buy" status by the Which guide. I thought I couldn't really go wrong there, so I happily skipped of to my local Comet's to buy them for £24.99. (This is about 6 months ago, and now they are a lot cheaper - Amazon sells them for £13.33, and with something else on the order to take it over the £15 mark, you don't even have to pay for delivery!) I would have given these clippers ...
...plus a haircutting guide by Nicky Clarke, which I must admit went straight in the bin… The battery life on these is very good, so far it's never run out, although I've been charging them about every four cuts or so. My old clippers used to vibrate quite a lot, making your hand feeling all funny after using them for a while, but these ones don't give off anywhere near as much vibrations. To clean the clippers, you simply (well, maybe not quite ...

Review of Nclarke NCM36 Mains Grooming SET

DIY Haircut: Saving a Few Bob

Advantages: Can't make mistakes if you follow instructions. Saves money, good build quality
Disadvantages: None that I have found

...but a penny for the Remington HC710, I worked out that I would get my money back after about 7 or 8 uses. There were other models, but the Remington looked the best quality on examination, and after all, Remington did seem to have a long history of manufacturing in shaving and hair care products. She opened one of the boxes and showed me that there were 8 guiding combs that I could attach. There were two slanting combs, one slanting right and one ...
...series of straight combs marked, 3mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm 15mm, 18mm. These guide combs fitted over the cutting blade, and would cut your hair to that length as you ran the clippers through the hair. She told me that if I run the machine through my hair slowly with the longest (18mm) comb attached first against the growth direction, I would see that it would cut it perfectly. Because of the comb attached, I would not be able to cut too much off, something ...

Hundreds of haircuts for the price of one!

Advantages: High quality cutting blades, very durable, consistent cutting power, low price.
Disadvantages: None.

...still currently use is the Wahl HomePro 100. It can be bought for less than £10 at the moment. The Brand Wahl is a well established brand and the company produces a wide range of professional and home grooming products. It claims to have invented the first practical electric hair clipper in 1919 and has continued to specialise in grooming products ever since then. This means that it is well known for producing high quality, innovative products. ...
...These clippers need to be plugged in to be used and the cord is long enough to allow lots of free movement. I have used clippers with rechargeable batteries in the past that do not have to be plugged in when used and this always resulted in inadequate power. I therefore prefer having a mains operated set of clippers that perform consistently rather than the benefit of not having to worry about a cord. 4 Attachment Combs It is possible to cut ...

Review of Wahl Homepro 100 Series

Cut your spending on haircuts

Advantages: Well priced, easy to use and clean
Disadvantages: Forgetting to wear something to catch the cut hair.

...When I bought my Scherna set (from Argos for £25) back in 2005 haircuts were around £9 (for a numbered graded cut) so I figured I could cut my own hair and save myself both time and money by eliminating the middle man. So who are Scherna? According to the rather helpful label on the back of the box they are owned by BaByliss who are a fairly well known name as far as the world of hairdressing equipment goes. So what am I getting for my money? The ...
...metallic silver plate with the Scherna brand name on has no actual specific function but the body of the shaver has a red led which lights to indicate the unit is receiving power. On one side of the shaver is the power switch & an adjustable bar which allows you to alter the position of the blade to shave closer or further away as you wish, the blue button on the opposite side delivers a short burst of power to the trimmer blades which allows you ...
