Hair Cutting Trimmer Razor, Hairdressing Styling Razor, Silver or Gold

Product Information

A clipper’s housing is almost always plastic, though high-end models like the Andis Master may be metal. The Fast Feed is smaller than both of the Wahls we recommend, it’s easier to hold, and its electric hum is actually pleasant to the ear. But among pros with the technical capability, a taper lever is an essential element for blending and fading between different lengths of hair, especially on the side of the head.

The Fast Feed’s thick plastic housing is lightweight yet able to withstand drops, and the taper lever on the side is firm enough to hold tight but adjusts easily with a thumb.Razor cutting provides the best results on wet hair and if the technique is used on dry hair, it can lead to split ends.

Akito professional hair cutting razor, along with hair razors and razor blades that are exceptionally sharp.

This model is the best by far for smaller hands, and its mesh storage case takes up a minimal amount of room. The clipper’s eight included guide combs are made of rigid ABS plastic, so they don’t deform and leave track marks or trap and pull out hair when pressed against your head.

Pictured at bottom right are left- and right-ear tapered guide combs (useful for trimming, and blending around the ears), which are no longer included in the kit. It does have an advantage over the pricier Wahl Elite Pro: Color-coded combs make it easy to quickly grab the one you want.In our testing, the taper lever on the clipper’s side didn’t slip from vibration (something we’ve experienced with other clippers).

It has the most reliable and easy-to-use guide combs of any clipper we’ve tried; in our tests, this turned out to be a key differentiator between an okay hair clipper and a great one. They all met our hardware criteria: a high-quality razor, a powerful motor, a range of included combs, a long and sturdy power cord that doesn’t tangle easily, user-friendly maintenance, and ergonomic considerations (weight, comfort, and noise). The Color Pro Plus’s storage box is a little smaller than the Elite Pro’s, and it’s not quite as sturdy.Annoyingly, each brand of clipper has its own proprietary physical shape (and sometimes more than one), so you generally can’t use combs from one brand of clipper on another clipper. For the past decade, they have written about and tested beauty products for Teen Vogue, Allure, and other outlets. If they are too flexible, they can easily bend and flex as they are pushed against the scalp, resulting in different hair lengths and leaving furrows (like you’d see in a farm field). This picture is a pretty example of the feathered effect the method of blade cutting gives to mid-length hairstyles. A prime example of the characteristic panache razors give — it incorporates lots of layers, and long razor cut bangs.
