I shave my own hair normally down to either a number 1 or no attatchment at all. I had let it get very long, had not shaved it for nearly 2 months so decided enough was enough and it needed doing. Half way through, my clippers broke So, half head of hair, half without and im shitting myself wandering wtf i can do about it at ten at night. Thankfully, i had an old set that id forgotten to throw out and managed to finish it.
So, need some new clippers, anyone got an recommendations or had a similar experience

I went to the hairdresser round the corner from here, tried to explain how I wanted it (medium length so I can style it) but my explanation of "short at the sides and a bit longer on top" ended up with me looking like an Army grunt.
Live and learnl.

Bet the natives thought "here we go again!"
Dad shaves his own head. And nearly always misses a bit. But every time the bit is different

i shave mine off to the highest with no guard, my last set were adee and phelan or somet, they lasted about 6 months and the plastic clip broke just after i had used them and were in the middle of cleaning them, current set are babyliss and they are the exact same design so i expect them to break in a few months. My gf is a hairdresser and with regular use none of them last for the long she says.

I'm just back from the hairdressers, got it all chopped off into a short (REALLY SHORT) bob  Last thing I said to the stylist was 'don't cut it too short'
