and im not talkin about those cheap ass ? from target, walmart ot walgreens, Im talkin about the real heavy, sharp professional ones that will last u a good 5 to 10 years. that u have to buy at the black beauty supply store or from your local barbershop. Yo i think every black man should own a pair of good hair clippers it like a right of passage. i remember as a young man-child my grandpa had one of those ol'school clippers that was chrome witjh some ivory on it with those thick ass rope wire extensions, i was scared of those ? , it weighed like 5 pounds, sharp as ? and sounded like a monster when u cut it on, a lil niga use to jumped up and run when he cut it on.

but yo i jus paid 70 dollars for WAHL PROFESSIONAL BALDING CLIPPERS at a black beauty supply store, because i rock baldies i cop those ones and these ? is sharp you get that razor bald cut with these it take almost 8 days for the hair to grow back. but yo that was the cheap ones, i seen clippers for a 100 beams up in there

    word up i ? with the razor once in a while but a brotha be gettin all nervous and ? , i really haven't found a ol'skool barber who's like in his late 50's or early 60's who know how 2 use a razor. the barber that i go to is one of those spots that have ? in there sellin clothes, kicks and ? nigas is watchin boxing and games on the t.v. talkin to customers and ? , sellin sacks of bomb, pushin local artist cd's to much ? goin on. so i used to go there to get clip bald and i was payin 20 beams. and ontop of that was being cheap for years buyin those cheap ? and endin up spendin like 40-50 a year on those 20 dollars one. i was like ? that ? it's time to join that black man faternity of owin my very own pair, i dropped 70. ? my cousins have those 100 dollars clippers tha he bavin over 10 years lol

    why would i want to spend money on something to mess my hair up. the whole point i go to the shop is to relax and kick it with my folk.

    I remember in 2006 I walked in a barbershop, and waited around 2 hours and paid 18 dollars.


    Been cutting my hair ever since. Just get a nice mirror to cut the back and get some bacteria spray to clean the clippers after every cut.

    Its good to know you can cut your own hair at your own convenience. But every few months ill go to the barber to get a cut.

    This. Half the reason I go to the barbershop is the social aspect. Well, maybe not half...but you get the idea.

    That's an outrageous price. Anything above 15 bucks is a ripoff, no matter how sharp the lining is.

    Yo, check out that Pro Glide razor. As long as u shave WITH the grain of your hair, u shouldn't bump up.

    But anyway, I have two pairs of clippers. One to do outlines and ? (cost me about $50.00). The other to fade my beard, sideburns and such whenever I'm in between cuts from my barber (cost me about $70.00). I forget which company they're made from, though.
