Advantages: Easy to use, lightweight and trims without tugging

...managing to snag bits of my hair before crashing to a standstill, so I gave up on these pathetic trimmers within minutes. So when I came across a set of trimmers with a name I had previously heard of and had some experience of I decided to invest in them straight away, knowing that over there lifetime I would make the purchase cost back and more. **Technical bits? * Mains operation * Lightweight of 190g * Powerful 12 volt motor * T-shaped blades * 5 inches (130mm) in length * Cutting length is 0.1mm * Cutting width is 35mm * 2.4 metre cable length Comes with?

Review of Wahl Wahl Detailer Professional Detailing Hair Trimmer

Wahl wail.

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Vibration, noise, rusty blades, heavy...

...I run a dog grooming parlour, so feel qualified to post on this subject. I found Wahl clippers to be nicely small, but very heavy. Design is poor - to hold comfortably, your had covers the ventilation slots. This means you either suffer hand ache or rapidly heating blades. Add to that the fact that the attachable combs (flimsy, flexible things) will fall off the unit at the slightest hint of a knot, and you have a recipe for burnt skin on your dog. They come with a tiny tube of blade lube - covered in warnings to keep away from the skin. Also with a woefully inadequate little brush to flick hair out of the blades. This shouldnt happen in a clipper. To my mind its a fire hazard for a start. The clipper is a nice compact size, however, its weight ruins this one plus. Vibration was truly awful, and I have found many dogs...

Review of Wahl Clipper

Wahl Homepro 100 Clippers

Advantages: Low-cost product from an established brand
Disadvantages: None

...The Wahl Homepro 100 Series clippers are a great low-cost product for basic hair trimming. If you require a reliable and consistent cut then Wahl are an excellent choice of brand. The Wahl 100 clippers come with four attachment combs ranging from grades1-4. The box set also contains scissors and clipper oil which is essential in keeping your blades operating smoothly. All this comes for an average price of around £10 on ebay including postage costs. I have found Wahl clippers always perform better than cheap alternatives that tend to leave uneven and patchy hair cuts. With Wahl you are guaranteed a smooth and consistent cut with blade technology that will glide through your hair rather than sticking to it. If you need a high quality set of hair clippers without wasting money on unecessarily expensive products then the Wahl Homepro 100...

Maine Coon Cats -the Gentle Giant

Advantages: Amazing cats with so much love
Disadvantages: you will want to buy them all!

...Maine Coon -the "gentle giant" We, as a family have just proudly added a new member to our family -by the name of Weetabix. Weetabix is a beautiful brown tortie Maine coon cat with tiger stripe grey and white legs and paws. We received her last Saturday when she was 13 weeks old, and she has fit into our family so well. She is a really friendly cat, and gets on great with our three year old son. Her favourite past time is to climb all over me and sleep on me -so I am now an official climbing frame/ cat bed!! Maine Coons are a gorgeous breed of cat - I have done a lot of reading about them, and I wanted to share it with you, as I would recommend this breed of cat for any family! She is, without a doubt, the most gorgeous, friendly cat I have ever met. These cats are one of the largest breeds of the domestic cat. They are...

Review of Maine Coon

Wahl Curly/Afro Straightener

Advantages: High temp, good for very curly hair!
Disadvantages: nothing I can think of!

...I recently purchased this Wahl wide-plate straightener, designed specifically for thick, curly and Afro hair. I am mixed-race, and my many curls have come from my Arab side! I have struggled to find a straightener that will smooth down my hair and straighten it PROPERLY! I have had a few straighteners, and they all left my hair looking a bit straighter, but also quite frizzy. This Wahl one smoothed down my hair, so it totally squished down my curls and waves, exactly what I was looking for! This wahl straightener heats up to 220 oC, it doesnt have variable temperature, but since its designed for people with curly hair, you need it that hot anyway. Anyway, these are absolutely fantastic, and Argos had them on offer for 27.99 when I bought them, but they are usually 34.99, which isnt too bad considering how well they work. They are black...

A Thrilling, Inspirational Piece - Main Source's Breaking Atoms

Advantages: Groundbreaking, great concept songs; responsible for Nas' birth in hip hop
Disadvantages: A tad bit on the overrated side; does not age well

...Main Source was a hip hop super-group from the Great White North (Toronto, Canada) composed of Sir Scratch, K-Cut, and Large Professor. The majority of folks reading that will probably think "who?" to the first two, but instantly recognize Large Professor as one of the top producers in hip hop, crafting classic material with the likes of Nas, Mobb Deep, Common, and Cormega. Sir Scratch faded into obscurity but K-Cut actually went on to work with Big Punisher, Queen Latifah, and the greatest rapper of all time: Shaq. Still, there's no denying LP was the star. Ever since I got into this once-beautiful blend of music and poetry known as hip-hop, long time heads have always pushed to me that Main Source's Breaking Atoms, released in 1991, is an unarguable classic album and should be ranked in the top 20 or perhaps even top 10 to some, which...

Review of Breaking Atoms - Main Source

State and Main can Stay

Advantages: classy, intelligent film, excellent cast
Disadvantages: few dvd extras, Rebecca Pidgeon

...obsessive wife, who completely redecorate their home in honour of their town's guests, and some of the best lines are almost thrown away in little asides between 'extras' after the main characters have left the scene. There's also a secondary story line involving a camera man's efforts to get the shot he wants without an old stained glass window getting in the way. ********Availability/Price This film is old enough to be cheap as chips. It's £6.97 from Amazon but they also have it 'new and used' from £1.95, which is cheaper than a rental. It's £6.99 at play.com. ********Overall If you liked Grosse Pointe Blank, Heist, Fargo and the Tao of Steve, you'll probably like this, although if I put those 5 films in a list, this would probably come below Heist and Fargo, and hence I'd give it 4 stars. My favourite line comes from a scene where...

Review of State And Main (DVD)

Midland main line

Advantages: Cheap and relaxing
Disadvantages: comfort of the new rolling stock

...Midland mainline is owed by the national rail express group, which was founded after British rail underwent privatisation back in 1996. The mainland mainline organisation is based in Derby and in 2006 midland mainline won the award for Passenger Operator of the Year at the national rail awards. Routes Midland main line takes the route as in its title, the midland main line. This runs from Sheffield to London. Although the highest point on the line is Leeds you generally have to travel to Sheffield after the morning rush hour to travel on these trains as only a hand full run out of Leeds in the early morning and thus returning later at night. The day time trains run from Sheffield calling at Chesterfield, Derby, Loughborough, Leicester, Kettering, Wellingborough, Luton and terminating in the new St pancras station. Midland main line...

Review of Midland Main Line

Maine Coon cat

Advantages: Beautiful soft fur, big deeply affectionate and devoted
Disadvantages: May need more dental care as they grow older (special maine coon food prevents this)

...We own a young speyed maine coon female. The breed is deeply loving and affectionate, especially in our girl's case with children. She follows the boys everywhere and plays with their soldiers and marbles. The fur is long and silky but seems to tangle and matt significantly less than a persian or ragdoll so needs little care although I prefer to brush once a week or so to reduce shedding (and for a cuddle). She does appreciate the odd bath (which we do in the bath itself) and is placid enough that even at this young age she will take her feet off the bottom and float cradled in your hands. I am more used to scruffing burmese than "Marina" the floating maine coon! Initally shy, the breed become devoted house pets, following their preferred owner around, and quite distinct from other cats aurally in terms of their call which is...

Disadvantages: can feel waxy and greasy when first applied. better as a winter deodrant

I bought mine for under 4 pounds at waitrose, its very hard to find this brand in the UK, but have a lookin small private health shops, online etc....
