I shave with no fittings. anyone who has tried multiple clippers, does this clipper shave relatively short? I like my hair as short as possible. thx

Yes, too short for my liking. lol You can set the settings and if you want it really short just set it to #1

I've been using the shortcut for 4 years now. This is my third trimmer. I like it close with the 1 setting also using the smaller guard. It cuts a little closer with no quard but its easier to fade to a 1\half setting on top 1 on back and sides. Most people say its really short that way. With the quard it's more comfortable. I hope this helps

It does have a 'bald' attachment. I used it on my neck and it seemed to work OK.

No...but it has a long running time. Bravura is one of the best small clipper. I wouldn't want to groom with out one.

I don't have it in front of me, however I believe it has attachments up to 1 inch down to 1/4 inch and the larger clipper has a built in sliding guide for about a 1/4 inch down to a close stubble. The smaller one is very close to a shave. The are both very durable and Wahl is what my Barber and Brother, a stylist, use and have for over 20 years, my Barber still uses one he bought in the 80's! I hope this helps, Take Care.

I Agree with Lulu, Maybe you need to turn the Clipper speed up a little on the side of the Clipper. You could also check on YouTube To make sure are holding the Clipper correctly. I use these Clippers everyday. Best of luck to you.

Hello Kelly P - I'm not a professional groomer, just a home groomer, so I'll try to answer as best I can. Sounds like your blade may need sharpening, or oiling, which needs to be done frequently while clipping. Also, make sure her hair is freshly washed, dried & combed. I love this Wahl Motion Lithium Clipper because it is quiet, and doesn't get hot. And it works very well on my two miniature girls' faces. In about one hour, I plan to start my February clipping session on them, and it will be only the second time I've used the Wahl on them, as I bought it only last month. I think Wahl has a very friendly return policy, so check it out. I recommend this clipper highly.

I have used all models. This one is the least likely to nick or chaffe the skin due to the flexible head. If you pull the skin taut while shaving the private areas it's more likely to pull or nick the skin. Of course their is no perfect way, I've just learned from lots of nicking myself. Staying clean with a few nicks still beats the alternative.

I found a kit here on amazon that fit the clippers. It was a full set with all different lengths. I just had to make sure that it fit the andis. I love mine---my only complain is watch it when grooming because it heats up and will burn you pet if you dont watch it. I want to order the porcelion attachments but they are $$$$ maybe 1 at a time. those prevent the heat up. Hope that answers your questions----if not let me know.

I can only say that this is the second model I've owned...I dropped the first, breaking it. It has always provided a sharp, neat trim for my beard. That is why I sought out and purchased the same model. I use the shortest of four trim guides that come with the trimmer to get a tight, trim beard.

This is a very good clipper. It will depend on the blade that you purchase. If you get a skip tooth, it will go through coarse hair better than the FC type which stands for Finished Cut and will still look nice. So just read the description on how long the blades will leave the hair to make your decision on what blade to purchase.

I haven't used the Gillette version. But with the Schick Quattro, you can remove the plastic comb entirely for a very close trim. It gets me down to what would be 5 o'clock shadow for many guys.

Mine work great although I do not use the comb(s). Did you disconnect the blade when you oiled it. If so, ensure that you have properly put the blade back into place according to the instructions. With the blade off, see if the latch is moving back and forth which drives the clipper blade. Also remember that there are many blade types for differing lengths of cut and type of fur. (I hope this helps)

When I cut my hair I have my vacuum hose at the ready. When the hair builds up a bit I just run the vacuum to pick up the hair and continue. I only need to do it once. I have never had the clipper stop on me. I have used it for over three years.

22 Aug: Hi William. I have not heard before of a "balding blade",,.... ' I looked as the stuff that came with the razor and found a little grey fence labeled No. 1/2... 1/16 inch. However, if balding is the issue -- I have typical male pattern major balding; I "cut" my hair two or three times a week, using no fence at all. The stainless cutting blades on this model leave a stubble of probably less than 1/32nd of an inch. It does a great job. I have owned three or four clippers in the past 15 years .... this is by far my favorite. Hope this answers your question. You'll love this clipper !!! Ciao ..... Paul D. 22 Aug: Hi William.

My husband switched to a Remington and he doesn't use the attachments at all. Says it's a great shave. Hope that helps.

Patti my sister has a YorkiPoo and she shaves her all the way down with no problem. I have a MultiPoo and it cuts her hair great. The blade is sharp enough you don't have to go over it but a couple of times.

As i don't have a short shadow beard, the answer is less informed. But i do keep short shadow hair, meaning bladed to "zero", and it works very well for that. Used to own a previous version of Andis and the new clipper blades are much more "gentle" on the skin than the older model. However, i would imagine that beard clippers/trimmers might be preferable, since they are designed for the purpose. Hope this helps in your research.
