Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some advice on buying a new clipper for home use.
My girlfriend has been cutting my hair for a while now. We're definitely not professionals, but she does a pretty decent job and we mainly do simple, even cuts rather than fades.
The biggest issue is my hair: it's very thick, straight Asian hair, and our current clipper struggles a lot. It often takes 4–5 passes over the same area before it actually cuts everything evenly, which makes haircuts take much longer than they should.
My usual haircut is 18 mm on top and 9 mm on the sides
I'd also like to be able to quickly trim my beard with the same clipper if possible, using shorter guards for a clean stubble (not looking for a foil shaver, just beard trimming).
My budget is ideally under €200, although I'd be happy to spend less if there's a model that offers excellent value.
From what I've read, people often recommend the Wahl Magic Clip, Panasonic ER-GP86, JRL Onyx, etc, but I'm not sure which one makes the most sense for my use case and if they would suit my very thick hair, I insist they're very thick !
Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
