Those old clippers were not better and in the end not really cheaper. I had my hair cut by them on a regular basis and I say good riddance to those.

My opinion of course.
I agree! Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I also believe that everyone's opinions and preferences should be respected. I got the impression that some of the posters in this thread seem to find an interest in the hand trimmer to be silly, I hope that I am wrong though. I personally find them to be neat. This may or may not have something to do with Mr. Natty using them
I know that I can't be the only one to find them interesting! Hopefully I win the Oster clippers that I bid on ($15 including shipping), if I do, I'll be sure to post my restoring results!

I'm determined to get them perfectly smooth
