Let’s face it, the name of the product is a pretty good indication as to what this clipper is all about!

This is aprofessional use, mains hair clipper,with zero overlap blades it is specifically designed to remove all head hair, or at least 95% of it!

Spend a lot of time creating skin fades? This machine is the perfect tool.

Seriously..stop wasting your time on anything else.. just get it.

These clippers are ideal for that look and will achieve the equivalent of a single day, to 3 days of hair growth.

If you really want a completely bold cut, you should take a look at the very popularPanasonic ES-LA63-S Arc4 Men’s Electric Razor

Features

Chromed Fine-Precision Blade

It’s all about the cutting blade with these clippers!

To cut that close to your head, the blade needs to be ultra-sharp and to cut as close to your scalp as possible.

The秃顶剪刀刀片are fine-toothed and made fromsurgical quality steel,plated with rust-resistant chrome.

它们的切割宽度为40毫米，其中值切割长度为0.4毫米。

The blades are set withzero-overlapto achieve a near balding finish.

Basically as close as you can get to your scalp without cutting the skin – “be careful!”

The blades are sharp and will cut you if you don’t concentrate. They are ideal for close skin fades and tapering.

Oscillating Armature Motor

这些Wahl Balding Clippers被沙龙/理发师行业专业人士广泛使用。

With constant use, and getting switched on and off, the motor needs to be robust and powerful.

Wahl doesn’t disappoint with these clippers.

They have installed a powerfulV5000 oscillating armature motorthat istwice the speedof regular pivot motor clippers.

It is an electromagnetic motor that isn’t as strong as some rotary-powered clippers – i.e. not as good at cutting through bulky, thick hair.

But as it’s designed for balding and close skin fades, it is more important the blade speed is kept high.

It is a corded model with a 2.4 m cable (8 foot) which ensures the clipper is always at full power.

What Is In The Box?

Thesecorded clipperscome shipped with:

• 2 x combs – 1/2″ (1.5mm) 1 1/2″ (4.5mm)
• Black barber comb

• Pre-shave brush

配件

Wahl Balding Clippers – Blade

Don’t be caught out by not having a spare blade for your balding clippers.

They are stainless steel and will last a very long time, but there will come a time when you least want it to happen, you drop the clippers and damage the blade.

Wahl Balding Clipper Guards

Although this clipper is designed to remove nearly all the hair from your head, it’s still an excellent clipper that can be used to trim head hair and beards of different lengths.

目前，WAHL Balding Clipper Guards只能进入2尺寸 - （1/16“）1.5mm Guard和3/16”（4.5mm）。

If you want different guard sizes, this set of8 Color Coded Guide Combswill fit the Wahl Balding Clipper and give you a lot more cutting lengths to choose from:

Travel / Storage Case

The Balding Clipper doesn’t come with a storage case, but thisCaseling Hard Caseis just the right size.

If you’re not using the clipper in a salon or barbers, it will help protect your clipper when you’re not using it, or if you want to travel anywhere with it.

Lubricating Oil

Applying a few drops of oil every time you use your clippers, is a must.

The Wahl Balding Clippers come with just a small bottle, and you’ll use it up in no time.

Do yourself a favor and purchase a larger bottle at the same time as your clippers:

FAQs

Q. Can I use running water to clean the Balding Clipper?

A. No. They are not waterproof or rinseable. Keep them dry and clean with a brush and cloth.

Q. Can these clippers be used on 220 volts?

A. No. They are designed for the US and Canada only. If you use them outside of these countries you’ll need to use a voltage step-up transformer.

问：我可以用它们刮胡子吗？

A. Yes, sure you can if your beard isn’t too long. Wahl’s guard comb only goes as high as 1 1/2″ (no.12), so okay for short to mid-length beards.

Q. Are the Balding Clippers for professional use only?

A. They are designed to be in constant use in barbershops and salons, so are marketed as professional use. However, there’s nothing stopping a beginner from using them. Just go slowly until you get used to it.

黑发的最佳秃顶剪刀

Cutting black afro hair with clippers and trimmers often throws up questions regarding how well they handle such hair.

The best balding clippers for black hair are no different from the clippers you would choose for thick or coarse hair.

It’s all about the power and speed of the motor.

The Wahl Balding clipper is designed for the thickest of hair – including black hair.
