WahlUSA Chrome Pro Corded Clipper Complete Haircutting Kit for Men – Powerful Total Hair Clipping, Beard Trimming, & Grooming - Model 3024635

I have just finished my first cut with the Wahl Chrome Pro. I love it!I do know something about hair grooming as I was at one time pursuing a career in hair styling for the film industry. Instead, I went into sound recording. But I still learned a lot about hair. The first thing you learn is that Wahl's professional line of clippers in the top used brand of clippers by pros in the world. The second thing you learn is their reputation for quality and customer satisfaction.So I felt pretty confident that I wanted a Wahl clipper set when I went looking for one. After doing lots of research, reading many of the reviews here at Amazon, and looking for the right price point and combination of features, etc., I decided on the Chrome Pro.So far, it's perfect for what I need it to do. My hair cuts (basically a modified buzz cut) were costing me twenty dollars each by the stylist I was going to. She is good, and a pro, but sheesh, 20 bucks just to use a clipper to buzz off my hair? So having experience in the business, I looked around for prices at various places. The absolute best price was right here at Amazon. More on that in a minute.So in opening up the kit (all of the many accessories are listed above) I removed the clipper from the kit, took the twisty tie off the cable, found the blade comb I wanted and immediately started clipping. No set up, no prep needed. I had washed my hair, let it dry, and combed it. To get the length I like, I already knew the comb numbers from past experience. Wahl, and all other hair experts recommend that you start with the comb that leaves the most hair on your head first. You can always work your way down quickly by using the next number comb (higher numbers leave more hair; the lower the number, the closer the cut).With my kind of cut, you do the sides and back first, around the ear next, and then finally the top. So I found a number four comb, clicked it onto the clipper, which is very easy, and then started in on one side of my hair. Using the Wahl clipper is so easy that with my kind of cut, I can do it all myself. A color booklet comes with the kit and is very easy to follow. Wahl also has DIY videos on YouTube to watch. You use the arch or rocking technique as you move the clipper up the side of the head, pulling the clipper away from the top as you finish your move. It is very easy and I was finished with both sides and the back in a couple of minutes.Next, I found the Right and Left taper combs to cut around the ear. You start at the lower edge of hair on each side and cut in a circle around the ear all the way to the front. The Chrome Pro has a taper lever on the side and this adds a greater degree of adjustment as you cut. It will lower and raise the cutting blades in case a comb isn't quite low enough but the next comb would be too tight. Great feature!After I was done with both ears, I put the number six comb on the clipper (they change out instantly) and starting at the front of my hair, cut straight back at first as the hair fell off. The clipper and combs cut evenly and professional looking. I finished the top of my head from the back, moving from all directions over the swirl to ensure an even cut. After that was done, I took off the combs and with the help of a mirror, used the clipper to trim the side angles of the back and a straight line across the bottom. Easy as anything. The last thing you do is use the barber shears and styling comb to even out any cow licks and clean up around the ears. To finish off, a wetting of the hair and some Bed Head gel and I'm ready for town!After cleaning the clipper with the enclosed brush, it was back into the carry case and under the sink. I'll use this every week and my hair will stay looking great without growing long and then getting cut short again. My wife, who was doing my hair more recently, absolutely loved the cut and said she's retired from cutting my hair.I have to mention price here. I had spotted this same clipper at Sam's Club for more money than Amazon. Add to that the local sales tax. This price point qualifies for free shipping. It said it would take five days to get here...it took two. So I saved $6.36 in shipping. Then at the time of my purchase, there was a Special Offer attached to this product (always look for Amazon's Special Offers). This was in the form of a $3 off coupon which you must click on to apply to the purchase. And if you don't already have an Amazon.com credit card, get one. You get points for all your purchases and can apply those to future purchases. I had $9.36 worth of points saved up already so I clicked to apply those to this purchase. My final cost, for the clipper kit and a bottle of Wahl 4-Ounce Blade Oil, which will last you the life of the clipper and onto your next one, was $17.88 at the time of purchase! Thanks Amazon.com for an incredible deal! For the price of just one hair cut, I've paid for the kit, and now the rest of the clipper's life my haircuts are free!So if you are in the market for a clipper, or just thinking about the possibility of doing your own hair, check out the Wahl Chrome Pro Haircut Kit. With Amazon's return policy, you can't really lose!

At this price you really can't go wrong for these. These clippers are definitely solid, and they aren't clacky sounding like the cheaper pair I had bought a couple years ago, no matter how much they were adjusted.I also really like the left and right attachments that came with this, they make it so much easier to around the ears.

I am a bit rough with mine, and I like to replace them every 5 years. As a bald guy I use these clippers a lot. A new one definitely feels better than the last one, which was about 4 years before it conked out.At some point it just does not feel as sharp and clean, and that point happens quicker if you are lazy, like I was, in oiling the blades. Take care of it, and make sure it has a good power supply. I have never had any major issues with one. Product for me works flawlessly shaving entire head 1-2x a week.

While cordless models have taken over, you never have to wait for recharge. Pandemic made Wahl a household name. Many even learned to cut their own hair using mirrors and learned from Brits on YouTube.These days you still need a cutter for quick clean up between visiting barber. Wahl performed as well as prior classic model it replaced. Older model was thinner and lighter and easier to hold with shiny chrome plate behind cutter. This newer model came with tarnished matte finish plate which was smeared with thick machine oil out of the box. In fact the entire body had oil residue. On plus side it came with the entire suite of plastic head attachments for all hair lengths. All in all a solid value for those who do not mind an electric cord that gets in the way.

Sturdy, reliable clippers. Good selection of comb sizes. I've been using this brand for years; the ones I replaced were at least 20 years old.

Works well and has saved me a fortune on haircuts.
