Does this get as close as the Wahl Detailer with a bare blade?

Yes they do get as close as the detailers with its bare blade for a nice clean almost bare cut. Though it is always important to have a good detailer and razor along with the hair clippers to get the best line up and trim.

No. The Detailer is a trimmer and is meant to do edge ups/shape ups/line ups and neck shaves. The Magic Clipper is really meant to take down hair length and blend/taper/fade. The bare blade on the Magic Clip even zero gapped is sharp but a bit too large to get around the ears and neck line as well as the Detailer. The T-Wide blade on the Detailer is very sharp and small enough for corners and details.

I've used this product for some time now. Not sure about the Wahl crome, because i haven't tried it, but will tell you, i would recommend the Remington HC5850, to any body who is looking for a dependable, precise set of hair clippers. Reggie H.

I dont have anything to compare it to, but this is my first, and I find it almost hard to cut myself. You almost have to try to get a nick. The shave is closer than anything else ive ever tried as well. I bought this razor because people on several forums said it was less aggressive than a lot of other razors and is good to learn on, but with how good the shave is, I dont see any reason I would ever switch to anything else.

According to Wahl customer service, the only difference aside from the colors (red vs. silver) is that the #8081 5-star trimmer's blade (1 5/8") is 1/4" wider than the #8085 Sterling Definition's blade (1 3/8") . The internals, including the motors, are identical. I'll be getting the #8081 since it is $10 cheaper.

This will definitely give you a close shave but not like a razor will. But you can finish it up with the wahl 5 star shaver for the closes shave ever without the bumps and ingrown hairs.

I have no basis of comparison. But for what it's worth, The Wahl 84900 continues to work very well for my wife (who has cut my hair for 50+ years) and myself. It replaced a very, very old Wahl. I have "normal length", old fashioned parted hair that gets cut about every 3 weeks. We do not use the clip-on attachments.

The only deifference between the two honestly is a "Paint-job", same blade, same motor, different finish!! They both perform outstanding!!! Because of these trimmers I changed all my main trimmers from Andis to Wahl...

I cant remember don't use this anymore. I would recommend the wahl 99180 trimmer. It's way better

They do cut closer if they're properly zero-gapped; mine were perfect right out of the box and I'd contend that most of them will be. One advantage over clippers I've had before is that the open/closer lever on the side of the fade master is graduated, and I think this goes for most if not all Andis clippers, but Wahls and others are not. The biggest advantage for me is that you can use the purple magnetic guards on these and they'll never come off on their own and the teeth won't eat into them either; they are the best guards I've ever used.

Yes it is gives you a close shave...I use t to shave my head im bald so i keep a fresh bald head with it. But its actually smaller than the traditional machines used at the barber shops. I use it along with the Wahl fivestar shaver for that smooth baby bottom shave!

This Andis model uses a premium rotary motor that makes it more quite and smooth sounding than the wahl clippers that use a vibrating motor that makes a loud buzz sound. I think it's worth the extra price since it's quieter.

Hey, surely i would choose the Wahl! Wahl was essentially dedicated to professionals, you can find it in every hair design shop in europe. The performance is amazing with pretty silent mode & great accessories and battery life.

I really don't know since I returned this item after a few weeks. It just didn't provide a close shave. I now use the Braun 7 series which gives a great close shave.

This is more for trimming and grooming facial hair. Though they are durable, you'd be better off going to wahl's site, looking under pro tools, and investing in a good set of their hair clippers. They are not much more than this model , will suit your purpose better, and all have replaceable blades available for very little. Some are even rechargeable lithium, if you really want to ditch the cord during use. Find the ones you like, and see if amazon has them. Wahl will provide a list of authorized sellers, as the pro line is not sold at many stores.

Not at all. That's the appeal of the body shaver in my eyes. I also don't think it get as clean of a shave as a razor would. Just fyi

Wahl Motion Lithium is far better than the Bravura. I use the Motion and another groomer in my shop uses the Bravura. We ordered two new Motions last week she liked the Motion so much better. I have tried her Bravura and I don't like the way it feels in my hand and it runs slower than the Motion.
