I have tried other Chinese($9.99) clippers which actually didn't work. Returned them and I then got the Wahl Chrome model and made a quick pass, expecting some resistance. There was none. Oops. It cut so smooth, I accidentally shaved part of my scalp.(Frackin A) Had to finish the whole process to the same length. Point being. It was like a hot knife through butter, and poof! No hair. Works great. Would recommend. But don't be retarded with it like me.
