Clipper blades can be made out of a variety of materials, though stainless steel is the most common. Durable and rust-resistant, it can stand up to thousands of trims. Carbon steel is a step up from stainless steel blades in terms of sharpness, though it tends to need more care to prevent corrosion. Many barbers swear by their ceramic blades, which stay cool even in high-speed clippers and retain their cutting edge longer. Their relative fragility makes them a rarer find in commercial clippers, though you can replace steel blades with ceramic in many models if desired.

The clipper’s heavy-duty motor is promoted as Wahl’s best, as are its self-sharpening, precision-ground blades. Eleven attachments include a blade guard and 10 guard combs that are the sturdiest and best looking we tested. In fact, the Elite Pro’s combs have clips made of steel that Wahl says are 70 percent stronger than its standard comb fasteners. Accommodating cutting lengths of 1/16 inch to 1 inch, the guard combs look professional and can be changed out easily. Unlike others we tested, none of them came out of the box warped, and we didn’t accidentally break any during attachment, removal or use. If you’re a barber handling multiple heads of hair a day, you might be cleaning your clippers every night. If you’re just a regular user, you can probably get away with cleaning your clipper blades every month or so. Some clippers make it easier than others. Most can be easily rinsed clean after every use. It’s still good to brush off the blades periodically and remove the head so you can clean the blades with lubricating oil. Sometimes, there will be a cleaning station provided that lets you soak your blades in a solution overnight.

Understanding the type of trimmer that suits your needs is crucial. Whether you require a high-performance clipper or a compact trimmer, selecting the right type is essential for achieving your desired grooming results.

To plug or not to plug? If you plan on traveling, definitely consider a cordless clipper. If it holds a charge well, so much the better. If not, keep in mind that international trips may require a plug adapter to fit foreign outlets. For home use, some prefer corded clippers just for the consistency of their power output. Some models may slow down and therefore tug at hairs as they run out of juice. For that reason, a low battery warning light can be a real help — and a unit with a long battery life can help even more. Some clippers offer the best of both worlds with the option to use it plugged in or cordless. Additionally, find something sturdy that can last you a while; otherwise, you might as well keep going to your barber. Lastly, figure out the type of clipper you’re looking for, be it a travel option or something more substantial meant to stay at home.Featuring our finest precision self-sharpening blades stay sharp to easily cut all hair types and SECURE-FIT guide combs which are 70% stronger than Wahl’s standard combs and a selection of premium quality accessories.

If you’re really pressed for time in the mornings, it can be worth the extra investment to go with a wet/dry clipper.
