Wahl Professional5 Star Hero Corded Trimmer Adjustable T Blade Lightweight Precision Lining

GREAT TRIMMER FOR SHAVING!!!I ordered these trimmers because I wanted another pair of trimmers and also because in the process of trying to sharpen my Andis T-Outliner blades I ended up making them dull and unable to cut. Since I had to order new blades I figured why not pick up another trimmer as well. I have to say these trimmers are great, powerful and compact. I have read reviews that people say the hump I the trimmer body is awkward, but I have no issues with it at all. The trimmers come with a zero gapping tool which I did use before I even began to use the trimmers because I already knew I wanted the blades as close as I could get them for shaving with them. The shave is great and extremely close. I also ordered the larger T-Outline blades for these trimmers and have set them but not used them as of yet because I am pleased with the original blades at the moment. I always use Andis Cool Care Plus or Whals spray for clippers that I had already before every use and it keeps them cutting good. As for a comparison between these trimmers and the Andis T-Outliners I think they are both great for my purpose of use which is for shaving and edge ups. I have to say I like these Whal Hero trimmers for shaving more than the Andis T-Outliner even after I put the new blades. I'm no barber but I would say that either trimmer you go with will provide you the results you are looking for with the proper adjustment of the blades and keeping them oiled with Andis Cool Care Plus. If the price difference between these trimmers and the Andis has you second guessing don't be fooled by how much cheaper they are because they are a GREAT PAIR OF TRIMMERS and also would be great for traveling vice the Andis due to size.

The Wahl Hero packs a mean punch! It cuts very well and is easy to control. I use it for shape-ups/edge-ups and beard trimming. I admit, out of the box it was not sharp enough. But after I pretty much zero gapped it, I was shocked. It cuts much better than my Andis T Outliner and that's saying a lot. The infamous "bump" on the body of the trimmer did not affect the cutting ability at all. I barely noticed it was there. The Wahl Hero is definitely smaller than most top of the liner trimmers but don't let that fool you. This thing is definitely worth the buy. I suggest you use the blade adjuster that comes with the kit and zero gap the blades. They will become razor sharp but the blades don't bite (cut your skin) which is good. They stayed cooled after 30min of continued use which is a plus. Also, since it's so small, it's lightweight and easy to maneuver. I wouldn't necessarily throw away my Andis T Outliner's because time will tell if these will hold up overtime. But for now, this is the best trimmer I ever used!

Very nice little trimmer, smaller than expected and louder than anticipated when compared to its size. 3 little guides are nice and fit snug so they won't fall of but not as versatile for beard trimming since spacing is minimal (0.5", 1", 1.5"), I imagine value would come in for fades. Blade alignment tool is indispensable for non-pro like me though it feels like it could break on a few thin points if not used with care. I wish it came with some pouch for accessories and that there is 1/2 gear for less vibes.Blades are so close that you can shave you face with it and then just do a quick pass with a razor. Because it doesn't have the mesh cover it is more aggressive than avg. beard shaver so it requires more attention if you going to shave with it. If you have a strong beard or don't shave as often then it is also great for 'quick pass' before you shave.As someone mentioned, after a few weeks of use (cleaning and oiling) the blades have settled in and don't nick the skin. Now, it is much more lip and nose friendly when maintaining a clean line on your beard & stash. With some practice my sideburns and beard lines are looking like I walked out of the barber shop. After a few months of use, keeping in mind that I am not a barber, this feels like a very good quality tool that I can use for maintaining the look between the cuts.

I recently bought this trimmer and I was pleasantly surprised. Don't let the small size fool you this little trimmer has more power than you would expect and is very precise. This clipper is equipped with an adjustable 5 Star blade so that you can set it for precise cutting. It gave a crisp line right out the box! If that isn't good enough for you it came with a pro set tool that helps you "zero gap" the blades. Be careful with that because these bad boys are sharp! I am a barber and I have many liners, but this one is in my top 3. My only complaint is that it seems to be cheaply built. One barber in my shop bought a pair and his broke after a few months. If you drop them then that may be it due to the body being plastic. I take care of my stuff so that isn't an issue for me. Overall I say Wahl put together a very good clipper that is both quality and cost efficient.
