I replaced them with this newer model...

+1 and remember to oil it!, I used to buzz my topknot on a weekly basis and I used a Wahl, I learned the painful way why you should always oil the clippers before putting them away

I bought the Remington today...will use it later this evening

Whal clippers for me as well. Since I use it on my head once a week, I just give it a go on my chin as well.

Scipio,

To be honest I'm not sure which model came first; mine is probably about 4 years old now, but looks almost identical to the newer model. I could probably go check, but I'm still pretty lazy now after work

As for the price, like I said before it was probably around $25-$35 (approx) CDN. I couldn't imagine that I would have spent more than that. But that's the way it goes, I guess. Some things are cheaper here than there, just as I'm sure some things are cheaper there than here. My wife (who lived in England as a small child, family comes from Manchester too) buys certain British foods from specialty stores; it would make your jaw drop if you knew how much a Curly Wurly costs here!

I've been wearing a beard for around 40 years, and I always end up using barber scissors. Good, sharp ones. I will sometimes put one of the larger-numbered feet on my Wahl clippers to reduce the overall length if I've been lax in trimming it, but in the end the scissors and comb come out for shaping and catching up the wild hairs.

I use a Wahl cordless .

I use a Philishave cordless beard trimmer. I have only had it for about two months since my last one crapped out, but it seems to work well. I like it because it has like a little vacuum to suck the hair into a trap, which is nice cuz I don't end up having to do as much cleanup around my sink or spend time combing the little hairs out of my goatee or sideburns once they are cut.
