These clippers were originally designed by Wahl to give African American men a clipper that could give them the close fades and all-over shaves they were looking for. The Wahl Balding is brilliant on afro hair and will make light work of all other hair types too.
 
The powerful vibrating armature motor runs off the mains at twice the speed of pivot motor clippers, while its high quality build makes it tough enough to withstand the rigours of the professional environment.
 
The Balding's blades are fine-toothed with zero overlap and made from surgical quality steel plated with rust-resistant chrome.
 
They have a cutting width of 40mm and a notional cutting length of 0.4 mm. However, be careful setting them up as too close a setting will result in cutting the scalp as well as the hair! It also has a 2.4-metre cable that gives you plenty of freedom of movement while you clip.
 
Accessories include: barber comb, pre-shave brush, 2 attachment combs (#0.5 and #1.5), blade guard, oil, cleaning brush and instruction booklet.
