Clippers (lemm.ee)

So I’m looking for a new set of beard/other clippers as my current one finally fell apart after almost 20 years. I’m looking for a professional, corded one that you can put different size guards on. So Lemmy Men, what are you using?

I use the Wahl Peanut and I’m very happy with it

Been using a peanut and a straight razor to cut my family's hair since the pandemic started. It's a great little clipper.

I tried the peanut but didn't that it couldn't be zero gapped. For beards I like the Wahl professional five star detailer. It can be zero gapped, which gives a close enough shave on my beard edges that I don't bother with actually shaving. This has the added benefit of not causing any razor burn, but as with any zero gap clippers they can feel kind of sharp on the shin.

One down side is they only have 1/2, 1, and 1 1/2 guards. There aren't any others available, either.
