BaByliss for Men Super Clipper XTP Hair Clipper

These Babyliss XTP clippers are the best I’ve used and so superior to my previous two products as to make comparison futile.• They charge easily and stay charged for 75 minutes’ cordless running time, with a quality battery that doesn’t die after a few weeks of use; you can also use them straight off the mains• The clipper blades are finely machined, effective and very well designed; they don’t tug at your hair but glide through smoothly and effortlessly to produce a perfect result every time• There is a good range of 8x comb guides grade for different grades, right down to the ultra-short number 1The instructions recommend oiling the blades, and a small tube of oil is supplied for the purpose. This is probably a good idea to ensure continued high performance, but I forgot to use the oil the first three times the clippers were used and they worked fine all the same.If you’ve had cheap and troublesome clippers before then you’re going to be amazed at the difference with these. The only slight criticism might be the injection moulded plastic case and its insert, which have (especially the insert) a cheap and fragile feel to them.

I’ve been cropping my hair and beard at Number 1 for over 30 years. These are really good clippers. Some clippers have snagged at the dense hear in the depression at the base of the skull, these fly through no problem - powerful. I’ve never used them for more than 20 minutes at a time so I can’t honestly comment on how long a charge lasts, but I haven’t experienced any fade. They are quiet. They look and feel great.The guards are Truly excellent! Compare with the Wahl guards from my last clippers. As you can see they are much more substantial. You squeeze the sides to clip them on and they are very firmly attached. Basically they don’t come off. Also the lever for extending and retracting the blade is nice and stiff, and as you can see if it ever became loose you could tighten it up with an Allen key. Those were two of the issues that I had with my Wahl clippers, both of which will ruin your trim.Best clippers I have ever owned.

My old corded "Nicky Clarke" hair trimmers had been problematic for years. In recent years the head had to be dismantled and re-assembled before each cut and it left bits partially cut which needed several attempts to correct or had to be finished off with a razor.The BaByliss worked like a dream - doing a perfect job in 5 minutes that would have taken my old one 20+ to complete. Being cordless I could do it in front of the bathroom mirror and correct any missed bits immediately. The body fitted my hand perfectly and felt natural to use.100% sold on this.

This arrived in a plastic hard-shell case, in which I found the clippers, power lead and plug, a selection of plastic 'grader' heads, a small tube of blade oil, and a tiny blade brush.The clippers take a charge quite well and don't seem to need more than an hour or two to be ready for extended use, and they cut very close, which is a plus. The graders clip onto the blades quite well, and the clippers are a sensible light weight but feel like they're a decent solid quality when in the hand.The quality of the cutting and performance has stayed high throughout multiple cuts. My only irritation is the flimsy plastic inner-shell that every sits on, inside the hard outer case. It's the kind of quality that you usually find inside a box, cupping a cheap easter egg, and it tries to detach and move around every time you open the outer case, often knocking some of the grader-heads loose.That is a very minor annoyance in a set that's otherwise well worth the money, and I expect we'll be relying on this for quite a while to come.

I have a Babyliss professional corded set which is a couple of decades old, but thought it was time for some cordless freedom seeing as it was getting a lot more use since Covid lockdown and I was getting fed up hooking up an extension lead all the time!I was about to purchase a Wahl but decided against as it lacked an adjustment lever and glad I ended up with this little beauty.Out of the box there was sufficient charge to give myself a short back and sides. Despite being battery powered, this had no issues cutting through my over-grown hair and even comes with gradient guides which make blending from a grade 1 to longer hair a breeze.This does lack scissors and a decent brush, and the interior of the case has rather flimsy plastic, but those are minor points as the tool itself is great.

Lockdown fever. I'm not especially fussed about my hair as long as it's tidy but lockdown gets to even me! I needed to crop the mop and I wanted a decent quality set of clippers to do it with. Babyliss was about the only make I could think of as being broadly sensibly priced quality goods. Amazon had a discount on these bad boys, so I took the plunge.Having all sizes 1-8 is very helpful indeed. Being my first ever solo haircut I admit I was nervous about the potential results! Started with an 8 all over then trimmed the sides and back down to 2. It worked really well. This might be my new normal, you know.Really pleased with the quality of these clippers and the battery life is more than enough for my needs. Nice carry case and all the bits feel solid - should last well. Very much recommended.

I thought I would wait to do my review to give this trimmer a proper go, it said on the box it would do at least 8 to 10 haircuts, I can tell you I bought in Jan 2019 it's now Dec 2020 and I have charged it once, I have my hair done on a number 1 or2 at least once a month summer twice a month and this is the best hair trimmer I have had in 30 year's.It comes with lots of cutters far more than normal trimmers and not having the cord is great, it's slightlyire in price than a corded trimmer but 100% worth the money would I recomend it yes would I buy it again well who wouldn't ibeould be mad not too, if your looking for a series hair trimmer with a super long battery life buy this one you won't be sorry
