Home barbering saves money: A Review of Panasonic Rechargeable Dial Clipper

I gave Spencer his first haircut in two years! Now now now not what you think hehe - during my extended absence his lovely locks had been kept presentable by our friendly neighborhood barber. Now that I'm back I can do it! Plus I'm cheap like that :)

Tools of the trade

It's really easy with this Panasonic rechargeable cordless dial hair clipper and trimmer. First I drape a sarong around him, making snug at the neck. This prevents too much hair from getting down his shirt. For the first pass I put at setting 11 and go over his head a couple times until it's all even. Then I set it to 5 and carefully do the sides and back. Finally I switch to the trimmer and trim the edges to neaten up. That's pretty much it! About 20 minutes we save $20! It's more than paid its worth - it cost $29 on Amazon.

Pros: I like that this hair clipper is so quiet. We can chat about the day's events as I shear his locks. I love that you can switch the settings by simply turning the dial to the right setting. And it being waterproof also means that it can be used in the shower. Clean up is a snap! The only maintenance I do is to put a few drops of oil on the blades before and after.

Cons: The battery is getting kinda weak but I guess that's understandable since it's in its 4th year. I just use the clipper plugged in to the wall outlet. It can be annoying for some, but I'm okay with that. The clipper often needs a few passes before it gets all the hair clipped, especially for DH's very fine and fluffy hair. I need to detach the guide several times to clear the hair from the clipper blades. Apparently Amazon reviewers are not happy with the guide, saying that it breaks! But so far I haven't had any problems. Anyway, I would say it's not as powerful as a professional clipper and in my opinion would not work for dudes with thick hair.
