Bought a professional Wahl shaver in a hairdressing supplies place about 5 years ago. My husband has been using it ever since, and he has hair the texture of a hairy doormat. Great shaver, really tight shave without pulling the hair. It was around 70 euro if I remember right.

Well I suppose as tight as you can get without going for a "blade"...

Wahl Balding Clippers are the job. You can get them for about 60. Leaves you with tighter stubble than a 0 grade blade.

Asporadic, if you're near Dublin and want to handle\pick something up, Terrisales (http://www.terrisales.ie), on Middle Abbey Street, have pretty much any Wahl available, including the Wahl Balding Clipper.

Their prices are bog standard RRP though.. I purchased a Wahl Super Taper trimmer there, a year or three back. Works great.

Thanks for the links Amalgam. But Im a fair spin from Dublin unfortunately

I am however a 20 second walk from a Sallys store so will probably buy from them.

Can anyone make a recommendation (or advice on what to avoid) from sallys site

Will probably try and stick with something from Wahl as I always hear great things about that brand.

I have been keeping a shaved head for nearly 15 years now and of the dozens of clippers ive owned... these are by far the best!
