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

Product Information

Akito professional hair cutting razor, along with hair razors and razor blades that are exceptionally sharp. All clippers have a pair of stainless or carbon steel (or, at the high end, ceramic) blades with teeth; the bottom blade is fixed, and the top blade is connected directly to the motor and oscillates side to side to cut hair. The Wahl Elite Pro’s hard-plastic case is compact, and it has a quality clasp and rigid hinges that allow it to seal correctly.

Its sharp steel blades easily slice through fine, thick, smooth, and coarse hair without slowing down or clogging.While cutting shears are for cutting hair, thinning shears help reduce volume and create textured looks.

It’s a great way to play with your style and introduce some hipster vibes if your wardrobe is more eclectic. After dozens of real-world tests of 11 highly rated hair clippers—involving professional barbers and stylists, plus a panel of DIY-haircutting volunteers—we’ve determined that the Wahl Elite Pro High Performance Hair Clipper Kit is the best clipper for most at-home haircuts. It’s a touch larger and heavier than the Elite Pro, and its combs are not reinforced like our pick’s.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. Some reviewers note that they’ve repurchased this kit once the clipper blades dulled, though many say that they did not perform the suggested upkeep (oiling the blades, sharpening them, and cleaning them out) between uses. With so many bob styles with razored ends to choose from, there’s an option out there for every face shape. This model also has a thick but pliable 8-foot cord and a powerful—but exceptionally quiet—motor, making it a solid choice for cutting kids’ hair. The Wahl Elite Pro High Performance Hair Clipper Kit met or exceeded the quality or performance of all the other models we considered in nearly every way.

For more tips from our Beauty co-author, including how to prepare your hair for razor cutting, read on!The Remington’s lightweight (7½ ounces), palm-sized housing—coupled with rubberized grips—is the most comfortable of any we tried. Magnetic motors, which all our picks have, are the most common and make a signature whap noise when turned on. Razor cut styles like these will make your mane appear full, whether or not you got it from your mama. Your clients will love having the option to choose between a shaggy razor cut or a beautiful blunt bob! This Remington also has a thick but pliable 8-foot power cord that seems tough enough to last years but also wraps easily for storage.
