WAHL
Our History
The foundations for Wahl began when Leo J. Wahl invented the first vibrating electromagnetic motor in Sterling, Illinois. This led to the creation of the first vibrating medical massager, which was sold to barbershops, where Leo recognised the need to develop and improve barber tools.
Since Leo J. Wahl filed his patent for the first electric hair clipper in 1919, Wahl have remained at the forefront of the industry, with over 98% of Barbers now using Wahl.

The main advantage of these clippers is that they are very quiet to use. Your hair is next to your ears, and other brands that are battery powered are noisy as hell and make you slightly deaf and induce anxiety, in contrast these have a relaxing hum. Your arms get a workout while you’re using these (if you’re cutting
your own hair). Obvously buy a bigger comb separately if you want longer hair and as with many that can cut long, the hair needs to be pushed into the blades. You might need two mirrors and a hair cape which doesn’t come with this.
Had loads of cordless ones, which are typically flat when i need them or go flat half way through trimming.
Kept it simple with a corded one which is fast and easy. Great se
Been using it for nearly a dozen of times now. Easy to use, blades are sharp and easy to clean.
Comes with everything you need really, would be better if comes with a 5mm rather than 6mm, as it shows quite a difference when using the 3mm after you shave with the 6mm one, so it takes a bit more care to making the hair looks smooth.
Its also quite heavy, i guess this is because most parts are metal rather than others are plastic.
On paper, these new Wahl clippers are far superior, but they just don’t seem to give a consistent close cut either without an attachment or with the No.1 attachment for example (I haven’t tried any other attachment). They’re a nice weight and shape to control to trim your own facial hair or head and I keep the blades well lubed and balanced, but they just simply do not cut as well. I frequently have to go over the same area multiple times which without an attachment can cause a bit of irritation, and/or use a second set of trimmers on the back of a shaver to tackle bits these clippers miss every time. They seem to be very good quality but they’re just not as good as my older Nicky Clarke’s. I just needed a reliable set of clippers to buzz cut my own head every few weeks and I also use them to shave with without an attachment fitted and these clippers just aren’t making the cut (pun intended). Once upon a time if I wasn’t cleanly shaved before reporting for duty I would have been disciplined, these days I prefer a close trim/shave but not absolutely clean shaven as with a razor or shaver. It’s not me struggling to adjust to the new from the old either as I’ve now had these Wahl clippers a few months and wanted to really use them properly before I reviewed them so I could comment on any pros and cons honestly. Don’t get me wrong, they’ll quickly and easily remove long hair/whiskers from head or face, it’s just the finish and close consistency that repeatedly lets them down unfortunately.
I still have the Nicky Clarke’s and at this rate I may look into getting the blades sharpened on the original set and maybe give these away as I just can’t get on with them for consistency with a really close cut. I thought a pair of clippers were a pair of clippers lol, obviously not.
Otherwise, they came well packaged in decent retail packaging and not that I’ll ever use most of the accompanying accessories, but they came with a utility vest, various attachments for length of cut, hair clips, cape, left, right and standard combs, a flat top comb and 3 or 4 different brushes/dusters. It also stated they were supplied with a hard case and a DVD, but despite mine definitely being the “Pro” set, mine just have a soft polyester roll that everything tucks into, not a case. Can’t say I was gutted at not receiving the DVD either :o).. My Nicky Clarke set had a hard case, so I simply swapped some pieces around and keep the new one in the original hard case and kept the rest as a backup.
Can’t rate at 5 stars as they’re just not that good, although happy to rate at 4 stars for the price, all the included extras and that they cut the worst off. Would recommend in general, but also add that you may want or need a separate smaller set of clippers to pick up the close in bits these seem to miss.
So I thought I would try this- a little apprehensive I admit, but I am glad I did.
As others have reported, it comes with a wealth of accessories- the ‘combs’ you attach to the blade for the grade of cut, a pointless DVD, an actual comb and some pretty good hairdressing scissors. There is also a plastic cape.
Cutting the hair is actually very easy and it makes a very neat and smart job.
It is basically as simple as putting on the desired comb length by clicking it over the blade (I find number 4 gives a smart short haircut without it being too short) and then switching on and running it all over the hair. You cannot go wrong and cut more out than intended. The comb prevents this. All you have to do is make sure you run it over against the hair growth direction until all the hair is cut down to the preset length. If you miss a bit, just go over it again.
Trust me I am no Vidal Sasoon, but everyone says it looks smart when I have finished. Any idiot could do it- no skill required whatsoever.
As well as the standard comb attachments, there are some graduated ones for cutting in above the ears, but I once tried using one of them and I could tell it was going to go wrong so quickly stopped. I find with a grade 4, all that is required is a little trim above the ears and the back of the neck with the scissors to cut off any longer strands and straighten up.
When you finish use the little brush to brush the hair off the clipper and a few drops of oil (both also included)to ensure is is A Okay to go the next time you get it out.
So, in summary if it sounds like you or your loved ones would like a grade 5 downward cut, want to save money (paid for itself in 3 cuts), can’t be bothered going to the hairdressers and want to save time, get one of these.
I can also attest that you can do the same job on yourself, no problems- all you need is a facing mirror and a handheld mirror to make sure you have not missed any bits at the back.
The clippers seem well made, and are quite heavy and substantial. It has not pulled the hair when I have been cutting and I did not have to adjust the blades.
