Male grooming kit, 2 Mar. 2009

Although this product is at the budget end of the market it has performed well in what it was intended to do and the name of 'Wahl' has been well know for male grooming products both for both professional and home use for many decades. Everything you need is in the pouch (except the batteries - AA) and it should give many years of use if cleaned and oiled although it has a 2 year warranty. There is s slightly more expensive similar product in a case but if you can manage without the nail file, nail clippers and tweezers this should be fine.

Dimension wise, length is around 10.5 cm with a blade width of 2.5 cm (compare this to full sized Wahl clippers of 17.5 cm length and 4.5 cm blade width). This means the clippers must make several more motions than usual to shave off the equivalent amount of hair.

Cheap - a bargain at around 10 quid when purchased in 2011

Comes in a grooming kit with a nice zip up pouch containing other useful items

Portable, battery operated

Cons:

The adjustable telescopic attachment tends to slip to shorter lengths while in use. Sometimes it detaches off completely if pressed too hard against the skin.

The blade width is narrow as mentioned

These two points above mean it does take practice to get used to the clippers

The nasal hair trimmer included require a to and fro motion, different to other nasal...
