Need some new ones as the ones I have are utter shite.
I'm after adjustable lenghts, a nice even cut & a decent price.
I've seen these -
http://www.amazon.co.uk/BaByliss-Professional-Ceramic-Grooming-System/dp/B000QW1H9U/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=drugstore&qid=1213109171&sr=1-4
And was wondering if anybody had any experiance with them?
I'd be bonus if they cut my hair too, as I have it quite short.
Thanks in advance

I have a babyliss one very similar to that.
It's spot on.

They are actually really good, much better than any Ive had in the past. They take some getting used to to get a good even cut (most do thought tbh) but once you have the hang of it they are top notch!

Thats because you are a poor southener. Us Northeners can afford such luxuries.

I very nearly bought that, but then I read the reviews.

TBH the ones who have given it bad reviews dont know how to use it...its obviously going to cut shorter in places if you dont keep it at 90 degrees to the face - although thats the reason I said it takes getting used to!

Agreed, it does take some getting used too as my brother has one, and i've used it 3-4 times, completly uneven everywhere.

I use some Remington kit that's in the Argos catalogue, 22 quid or something, it's alright, not amazing but it does the job. Would like something new tbh
