Close shave
Long battery life
Hard to cut yourself with

The Philips one blade is great, my girl even uses it now for majority use.

I use the Philips One Blade and while it is battery powered it lasts insanely long, like 8 months with a shave every day.

I second the One Blade, it's the best all round trimmer/razor I've ever used.. close shave and it's nearly impossible to cut yourself.

Compact corded trimmer often suggested as a durable, long-lasting Wahl grooming option.

Works great

Recently bought a Wahl Peanut with the hope it will last a while.

Great trimmer but I don't think it's what they're looking for. I've been using mine for about 6 years

I use a Wahl peanut. Works great but not a baby smooth shave.

Wahl Balding Clipper

Corded clipper users praise for weekly head shaving and solid long-term durability.

Still works after years
Good for head shaving
Holds up to weekly use

Got a Wahl balding clipper too. Mildly insulting product name aside, I got it over 7 years ago and use it every week. Still works great.
