[@BenWilson-rb7nz]

Thanks Greg!

[@allisonwendell9942]

Thank you for this. After Is saw this video I purchased the Wahl Balding Clippers. I've been looking for the best way to achieve my baldness without the irritation that head shavers and razors leave my sensitive head. I was shaving with Gillete razor for sensitive scalp but I had to do that every other day to avoid ingrown hairs. The Skull Shaver I purchased left my head covered in bumps and I had to shave almost every day. I'm busy! So this was a God send. I love shaving with the clippers. It takes my hair down so low (I zero gapped the clippers) and I follow it up with a Foil shaver and I'm good to go. Best is that I only have to shave every four days or so. I love You Tube! Thanks again!

[@t.terrell7037]

As another female would you say to get the absolutely best “close” cut you should use the clippers + the electric shaver? Do you get any irritation or bumps doing it this way? Also, I’m still learning but do you have a routine or setup so that you don’t have hair everywhere-on you and everything around you? Lol. Thanks

[@allisonwendell9942]

@@t.terrell7037 So i've tried different methods and so far the one that has left me with a nice clean shave and no skin irritation or razor bumps is Shaving with these Wahl clippers which I zero gapped, meaning i got the moving blade as close to the stationary blade making sure it doesn't peek over it. One pass with that and my shave is down to the scalp where you can see (i have oily skin prone to dandruff) my skin but still some light stubble. I follow it up with a wet shave using the foil shaver (Braun Series 3) and that gets it smooth, no stubble. I use a shaving lotion so it glides over my skin. After the shave I rinse and pat dry. Freshen my head with Witch hazel and I apply for good measure some bump control (my nape is very sensitive). this closes up the pores and prevents razor bumps. To moisturize without getting my scalp greasy I use a mixture of Tea tree and Eucalyptus oil. Shaving this way allows me to go up to 3-4 days between shaves cause the hair grows back softer vs. A razor where the hair is really sharp as it grows back. At least for me. Hope this helps.

[@EXPextreme]

An easy clean up method. Cover sink area and floor w plastic 55 gallon trash bags. Can even open them up w scissors and use entire bag. Also lay some on floor. Can also make a shirt outta the smaller 13 gallon bags. The hair sticks to the plastic bags from the static. Super Easy clean up.

[@SCOTTEDM]

Definitely agreed it does leave a mess. I also cut at the bathroom sink but I close the drain then place something like a black satin barber's cape over everything that pretty much catches all of the hair and makes any cleanup super fast and keeps hair out of my drain. I think I will try this product. Appreciate the vid, excellent work.

[@thebobman69]

it's fine dude, as long as they are oiled, you don't even need to do it every times really,

[@joe18750]

It does leave a big mess. That's why I stand in a dry shower or bath and do this. You can use a hand mirror to check your work. But I find as you get better, using your hand to find missed or uneven spots works very well. Do a final visual inspection. Even if that takes you out of the shower stall now the mess will be minimal. Rinse out the shower stall or bath. A detachable shower head works best for that chore. Voila! Easy-peasy.

What's the maintenance on it my guy? How do you keep it to perform well

[@t.terrell7037]

Can someone offer assistance?😂 if I use trimmers to get close but go with hair grain it’s not getting super close so it’s like I have a shadow and then when I go against the grain it seems to cut closer but it doesn’t seem to grab all the hair I missed when I go against the grain when I’m trying to get as close as possible? It feels like it takes longer than it would at a barber shop, with a bigger mess, and it feels like I keep going over the same areas that look dark trying to clean up the area with no luck. My head is pretty small so repeated cutting makes my head sore and the trimmers start to get hot after about ten minutes. So I’d have a sort of Caesar cut where I can see my scalp although it’s not completely bald like it would be with a razor? Or do I just have crappy trimmers? (Andis Pivot) Any suggestions? Thanks

On the verge of picking up some new clippers. Have you tried foil clippers? Wondering what your thoughts are vs these Wahl balding clippers...??? 😕🤔

[@allisonwendell9942]

Hi. I use my foil clippers to touch up and go over my cut after i take it down with my balding clippers. It helps to get stragglers and give me an even smoother finish. It's still not as close as with a blade, but it's so very close!

[@MrPsalms207]

@@allisonwendell9942 I see. I'm trying to avoid having to purchase both. Foil clippers are specifically just for touching up, correct? For instance, if he had tried to use foil clippers on his hair as it was in the beginning of this video, they basically wouldn't have done anything, correct?

[@allisonwendell9942]

@@MrPsalms207 It depends when I tried to use just foil clippers to get my hair bald it pulled and left me with irritation. That could be because my head is senstive and my hair is coarse. But I use them for touch up once my hair is as low as the clippers will get and it seems to do a really great job. It's still cheaper than razors cause I was shaving every other day and my razors had to be replaced like every three shaves. You can just try the clippers you may be happy with the results. i just bought the foil cause I knew I'd want it that much closer.

Carefully. You would have to use clippers with guards, starting with a higher setting at the bottom of your side burns then switching to lower settings as you move up.

Hey man, quick question. Have you ever cut your headskin/scalp using these clippers - or adjusted the screws before using it? I have seen mixed reviews, some people say they didn't have any issues, some say they keep getting cut. I'm a bit hesitant buying these because of these comments, even though I have been shaving my head every week for more than 10 years. Thanks!

[@allisonwendell9942]

I adjusted them to get a closer cut but the top blade should not poke over the bottom stationary blade. If it does, loosen the screws and push it back some. There are lots of videos on You Tube that teach you how to do it. I haven't cut my head once using these. They are sharp!

[@allisonwendell9942]

@@jabinthompson7984 So there are a lot of videos on You Tube that will walk you through it cause describing it is not as helpful as actually watching someone do it. Basically you loosen the two screws(do not remove them just slightly loosen) on the stable part of the clipper metal piece (the one that makes contact with your head) and push the inside blades up to align with the bottom half. Then you tighten the screws back (watch the video on how to do it so that the blades don't get crooked on you). Add the lubricating oil and turn them on. Then test them on the back of your hand, if it doesn't cut you, you're good to go. But like I said best to watch how it's done.
