I'm luvin' my Andy's!,

I'm a black guy, who loves to style a bald head. My wife say's it's sexy and as for me, it's easy to manage. Problem is, I like to save $40 a month, and do my own shaving. Thus, I've been thru probably ten clippers in the past 7 years. You know, the Walmart and Target brands, that sell for $20. Then they pack the box with the 15 different plastic guards, grease, and combs that you'll never use. What a waste.
Anyway, I bumped into a local barber, and he invited me to his shop, to test-drive a few set of clippers. I tried the Andis BGRC, and fell in love! When you handle the BGRC; you actually conclude three things:
1. they're not a pair of $20 Conair clippers.
2. they're professional grade!
3. this may very well be the last pair of clippers I have to buy!
Now, on to the shaving. What a thrill. When I first turned them on, I got a soft but strong hum, and they don't vibrate the hell out you, like the cheap brands. The BGRC's are smooth! Not...Read more

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
As a child I hated home haircuts--the loud buzzing of the clippers, the occasional pull or pinch...and if I was second or third in line, the blades could be a bit warm. Just like today's families, my parents needed to save money. What has changed is that much better equipment is available to the home barber and, with a good comb set, "mom" doesn't have to be skillful at blending hair lengths.
As an adult, even one with no particular need to economize, I enjoy cutting hair and the comb sets enable me to cut my own hair with confidence using a mirror. This Andis Ceramic clipper is "just like the pros" use and is the best clipper I have yet found. Cuts, even on my fine hair, are precise and leave the kind of finish I have always associated with a good barber's work. The motor is barbershop quiet--more of a hum than a clatter. The amount of noise can be magnified by using attachable combs or one can spend more money and get a "plug-in" set of blades that leave hair longer...Read more

Andis BGRC,
September 23, 2007 M. Tammaro (Corning, NY) - See all my reviews
Trimmers were purchased after many store-bought trimmers failed and became dull in a short period of time.
These are by far the best set i have ever owned.
Very high quality and extremely durable. Blades cut very well and can be replaced if they should wear out.
Also have the option to upgrade to cordless.
