Icon2 Hairclippers? One for the baldies

That means JJ Irani, Sleddog, myself and I'm sure a lot more

What do you use to shave or cut your last few strands of hair?

I use a £14 electric Phillips shaver but need something better...

i came back from the US and didn't cut my "hair" for the full 11 days. when i did shear my head it was like shearing a sheep using a nail clipper so i need new clippers

I dont know...I like the cheap plug in models. I get my lady to trim me down with a # 1 every couple of weeks. It has saved me hundreds of dollars by now. On my second set in about 8 years now.
Total investment under 30.00.

I have an old Wahl Designer...about 15yrs old. As brushpup mentioned, I have saved a lot of $$$ by doing it myself. I can shave my head with my eyes closed in less than 5min at this point! LOL!

My Mrs has been clipping my hair for ten years now & she STILL manages to somehow draw blood every sodding time!!

& don't you just LOVE that 'pulling your scalp to bits' feeling when they're only partly-charged?!?!?

The only thing that my wife has done is to check my haircut and tell me where I missed.
One day she was mad at me and didn't tell me before we went out and she showed everyone the strip of hair that I missed,everyone laughed but me!!

Hey......Now how did I get lumped into this Anders!?!?!

To tell you the truth.
I've long passed the clippers stage. Strickly a razor shave now, as I don't allow it to even reach any real length.
Nothing like a nice smooth bald head!

I used to shave many many many years ago and used Wahl Baldfader http://www.thegoodstore.com.au/d196-...dfader-shaver/ until I realised most people shave to hide the fact that they are balding so why do I want to give people the impression that I am balding LOL At one point I was asking myself if there is a trick to shaving since I would have to shave every 4 to 5 days to have that blad look which is tiring, little did I know the 'trick' is to have alopecia TBH I am glad you guys shave as there is nothing worst looking than a balder doing the comb over trick!

I bought the Baldfader mainly because it looks cool and has a nice red body. I have no idea where it is now. When I was using it I would go over with a Gillette after the Baldfader.
