Miguez, who has used the Peanut to cut his own hair at home, says that while it comes with fewer guards than the other Wahl clippers on this list, the ones included are all you need “for a basic buzz cut” (the four included guards range from 1/8-inch to 1/2-inch). (The clipper comes with eight guards and a lever that adjusts their positioning to provide a cutting range from just under 1/16-inch to just over 3/4-inch.) Corsillo adds that the clipper is “really precise, with a lever for blending that I’ve got better at using each time.” It’s also made from sturdy stuff: “In the picture, it looks like it’s plastic with a chrome plate, but it’s actually steel throughout,” she notes.Ĭordless | Motor: Rotary | Battery life: Not specified rechargeable batteries and charger included | Guards and attachments: 4 guard attachmentsįor anyone who knows they want a buzz cut, two of the barbers we spoke to recommended the lightweight Wahl Peanut - which is also one of our favorite beard trimmers - as the best clipper for getting that shorter style. “I like it because it’s cordless, you can charge it with a USB cable, and it has a nice range of guards,” she says, the latter detail being especially important to her as a first-timer who wanted a wide margin for error. While the combination trimmer above is all Baraghani needs to keep his already-short hair neat, for guys who aren’t as regular with maintenance, this clipper (made for cutting head hair) is what Strategist senior writer Liza Corsillo used to trim her fiancé’s “curly, fast-growing hair” during long pandemic barbershop closures.

Sposito says the Color Pro has a “great guard setup,” which takes the form of 13 guards (ranging from 1/16-inch to one-inch) color-coded by length (hence the “Color Pro” name). Even though this clipper is on the cheaper end of Wahl’s product line, barber David Kim of the Electric Barbering Company in New Jersey says you’re always going to get a “professional product” from the brand, and this one is no exception.

While reporting that story, we asked Fellow Barber founder Sam Buffa why the American manufacturer’s name is so popular among his peers, and he told us there are two reasons: The quality of Wahl blades makes its products “the most bang for your buck,” and those blades often “stay sharp for longer.”Ĭorded | Motor: Not specified | Guards and attachments: 13 guard attachments, plus two combs and a pair of scissorsįor a more affordable option that will satisfy anyone in need of a quick cut. Wahl actually makes the majority of the models on this list, some of which also appear on our list of expert-recommended beard trimmers. Once you get comfortable with it, Miguez says the Magic Clip can make hair trimming even easier via a lever that you can press to shorten the length of a guard while trimming, allowing you to taper around the ears and the neck without having to stop and swap in a shorter guard.

Wood Smith agrees about the battery life, and notes that the Magic Clip is “light enough to be able to maneuver around easily by hand.”Īlejandro “AJ” Albano, creative director and barber at Tuft NYC, has been using the cordless Magic Clip since 2015 and agrees that it is the “lightest, easiest-on-the-wrist clipper” he’s used in his two decades of cutting hair.

Lester Rivera, of Florida barbershop the Spot, adds that the Magic Clip can manage every hair type, telling us it’s “strong enough to cut through the coarsest of hair yet still able to deliver precision blending.” Another “huge plus” of the cordless clipper, according to Rivera, is its lithium battery, which gives it “almost two hours of battery life” on a single charge.

According to Mark Miguez, co-owner and barber at New York City’s Friend of a Barber, the device is not only multifunctional - it’s also a best-in-class beard trimmer - but comes with eight different guard sizes (ranging from 1/16-inch to one-inch) that cater to pretty much any length a home cutter may want.
