5 Star Balding Corded Clipper, Ultra-Close, Model 8110 | V5000 Electromagnetic Motor Cuts at 2X Pivot Speed for Skin & Bald Fades, Includes 2 Guides, Combs, Oil & Brush

Really solid clippers. They feel sturdy, have plenty of power, and give a very close, clean cut without needing to go over the same spot repeatedly. The cord is a little old-school, but I actually prefer the consistent power. Great choice if you keep your hair very short or shaved.

If you're like me, you've likely been trying to decide on which set of balding clippers to buy- checking out review websites and comparing models. Let me save you some time- these are the balding clippers you want. I've seen all the reviews on all the websites, and I took what I thought was a risk buying these clippers because of both the cost and some of the negative reviews here. As it turns out, it was an excellent decision and worth the risk. Here's why: For the past year plus, since I came to grips with the fact that my hair was thinning, I've been shaving my head. My tool of choice was a set of Wahl clippers meant for hair cutting. I'd run it without a guard, with the blade on the closest level. Well, after about ten years of use, those clippers died and needed replacing. Needing to purchase a new set, I learned about these clippers, specifically designed for balding purposes. I was hesitant because several reviews spoke of receiving used clippers. Well, I can't speak for them, but I can report that I was sent a brand new, in original packaging, set of clippers. After examining them closely, I plugged in and went to work. Let me just say... WOW. What a difference. If you've only been using regular clippers at their lowest setting, this is night and day different. First of all, these have more power than standard Wahl clippers meant for regular haircuts (even the heavy duty ones used in salons.) They glide through hair of varying length and thickness. Since I had been waiting a few days for these to arrive my hair was a little longer than usual. These clippers just sailed through the hair, mowing it down quickly, without hesitation. Secondly, they absolutely cut closer. It's not as close as using a razor blade, but so close that if you're using a razor blade or standard clippers, you'll never go back. Now, because they are so sharp and heavy, using them does require a learning curve. Their weight is sufficient that you need not press down into your scalp while cutting, but that results in their being a little awkward to hold. If you're new to all of this, you'll just want to take your time until you get a real feel for it. Also, they are a little more pricey than other models available. Let me say, this is a case of, "you get what you pay for." If you want a set of heavy duty, professional clippers designed specifically for balding your head, then you're going to need to spend a little more. Otherwise, you'll end up with something under-powered because it's battery powered, or something that doesn't cut as well because it's not actually designed for balding purposes. Hopefully this review will help those who are on the fence, as I was before this purchase. As an aside, I should mention that I am a real person, who purchased these clippers with my own money, and I am not employed or compensated by Amazon or Wahl in any way. I'm just a guy who is happy with his balding clipper purchase and wanted to write a review to help anyone in a similar situation weighing their options. Cheers.

My husband loves these Wahl Balding clippers! He hasn’t cut himself using them, and says that they shave his scalp and neck almost as close as a razor! He’s been coping with an old set of clippers that had become a real pain in the a^*! I wish I’d gotten them for him a year ago!

I have been shaving my own head for about the past 12 years. I have always liked my hair as short as possible without having to "bic" it as it leaves my skin irritated and I do not like the feel/look of a completely shaved head on me. I have owned many different shavers over the course of those years and therefor I feel that I can provide an honest, thorough review. The first thing that caught my attention about this shaver is the fact that it is a balding shaver. This does not mean that you will get the equivalent of actually taking a razor blade to your head but it does mean it will take your hair down to a level comparable to about 36-48 hours after taking an actual razor blade to it. Another reviewer reported a 1 day after level but personally I would suggest the 36-48 hour marker. I guess his hair must grow in a bit quicker than mine, wouldn't surprise me, I am in my mid to late 20's and losing the hair quick. The only plus side is I guess I won't need to keep investing in these things a whole lot longer. lol. Please be careful when using this shaver. This is by far the sharpest bladed shaver that I have ever used in my life! I could certainly understand why people report the razor burn effect and cutting themselves. I was about 95% done with my shave and was thinking ha, didn't even knick myself and when I got to the back of my neck I gave myself a nice little stingy cut. Keep this thing flat and do not tilt it on an angle when shaving or you will regret it. I didn't wind up with a bloody burning head like another reviewer reported, but I did find a lot of humor out of reading his review. Pros: - Extremely sharp blades that take your hair down to anywhere from 1-3 days after a full razor shave. I really like this because I can get an extra few days before I have to shave my head again. I like a shaved head but don't like having to do it on a frequent basis. - Feels much more durable than many other shavers I have owned. I haven't had this long so there's no telling how long it will hold up but the extra sharp blades lead me to believe I will get a little extra life out of this shaver than some of the more dulled out competition. - Isn't obnoxiously loud like some of the other brands/models I've owned. This is important to me because I often shave my head late in the evening through a hollow door leading to a bedroom that my wife is often fast asleep in. Cons: While it is a pro that the blade is sharp it is also a drawback. You will need to take extra care when shaving with this or you will likely wind up bleeding in a spot or two. I do NOT recommend this shaver on softer/more sensitive areas such as around the neck, or around any looser skin, etc. Keep it against your cranium at the right angle and you should be fine. Final Note: I know some of you don't like when reviewers leave feedback about sellers but others do like to get what is described & their moneys worth so I do want to warn some of you ahead of time that mine arrived from cyberteams with missing parts. It did not come with any clippers, cleaning brushes or oil and in turn it made me skeptical of whether or not it was a returned item. I decided to take my chances as the shaver itself looked perfectly fine so I just sanitized the blades prior to use (just in case it has been used prior) and had at it. This discrepancy in no way altered the rating of 4 stars that I gave the product but it would have been nice to have those parts for facial areas/etc. Hope this helps!

Received this yesterday after doing a few days of research. Taking out of the box, I noticed some smudges along the body, but after checking the blade for use, I am fairly comfortable that the blade has not been used. I knew to look out for the moving part of the blade possibly arriving misaligned with the front plate (I'm assuming due to shipping). Like another reviewer noted, the movable part of the blade is ever so slightly rounded, so while it looked fine on one side the other side was poking out past the front plate. A philips head screwdriver and about 30 seconds of adjustment later, I was ready to go. Like the instructions said, I made sure to oil it up while the blade was running. Another minute later and I was ready to shave my head. I hadn't shaved my head in months because my old clippers (a cheap ConAir model) were not doing a very good job and the amount I was having to press just to get the hair off was really hurting my scalp. I got tired of the pain so I stopped doing it (took me a while to realize it was the clippers' fault). As a result, my hair was fairly long when when I started shaving. I was amazed at how effortlessly the hair came off. I don't think I've ever had a shaver that shaved this close, this evenly, this quickly, and this painlessly. I think my entire head was shaved in under 3 minutes start to finish. The only touchups I had to go back for were due to the old (already cut) hair falling into the path of the blade, obstructing me, and screwing up my technique. I can easily say that this required the fewest number of touchups that I've ever required. I did have 2 snags but no blood. Both times it was due to not having the blade flush against my head; in fact I pretty much jabbed the teeth into the side of my head both times and am probably lucky I didn't get cut. Otherwise, taking those few minutes to align the blade at the beginning really paid off. For people looking for a smooth bald feel, this probably won't do it. What it will do is take your hair down as low as possible, so following up with a straight razor will be fairly quick & painless. Personally, I kind of like a little stubble, because when I go shiny bald (sly?) my head feels hot. I'm happy this seems to have been a great purchase so far. I'm really looking forward to painlessly integrating this into my weekly routine to stay looking sharp with a minimum amount of fuss. I'll update this review if there are any changes with use.

I absolutely love these clippers, I use them all day everyday, they have an ergonomic hand grip and are super easy to use. They are built super durable

Good Clippers

I went through a lot of obstacles to purchase these clippers,but I'm glad that I did so. I started balding at 18(now 23) and despise constantly using a razor or mediocre clippers, to shave my head every week. These clippers are robust and compact, something that I have been actively searching for, for a while. About the product: The power cord is thick, about 1/3 or 1/4 inch in diameter. The housing is made out of what seems to be a high quality plastic, which is a beautiful burgundy on the front side of the clippers and black on the back. The housing seems like it will protect the internal components for the life of the clipper as long as you don't slam it on the bathroom floor. The on/off switch being small, and at the tapered end of the clippers makes for easy one handed operation. The cutter blade is super sharp and is perfectly aligned(at least on the two models that I received). The comb blade is adjustable, but not by a simple plastic pivot, which I think is a great addition that adds to the quality of these clippers. To adjust the clippers, you just have to unscrew a Phillips screw under the side of the the comb blade and side the the comb blade on a metal rail to your desired position. How the product performs: The feel in the hand is great. I'm a 5'8 male and have medium glove size hands. Not too heavy but you can definitely feel the weight. I have only used this set of clippers a few times since I have just received them not long ago. With that said they have outperformed my expectations. The motor is superior to all others that I have used. The blades cut right through my hair without any hitches. The actual shave is closer than any other clipper that I have ever used. It's not as close as a razor, but does give some stiff competition. I only have to pass over each section of my head once to get a clean shave, even though I do two just to be safe. With other clippers(cheaper and not commercial ones) I have to run them over the same spot multiple times just to get a mediocre cut. In some of the other reviews people complain about being cut by these clippers, but I have not experienced any cuts or scrapes on my head at all. The clippers do vibrate a lot compared to my other clippers, but it is not terrible, and it hasn't been a problem. I hope these clippers will last a while because they are a pleasure to use, and because of the close shave I can go longer periods without having to use them. I would definitely recommend these clippers to any person who is looking for a great, high quality set of clippers for a great value that will give a close shave, or anyone wants to attach guards to these and cut longer hair as well(as I assume they would do a great job).
