ConAir MetalCraft High Performance Clippers

Best All Purpose Clippers

Chances are that your barber buys professional grade equipment outside the price range of what you want to spend for at-home trimming. The ConAir MetalCraft series is the closest thing to professional grade equipment that you'll find for an affordable price. The clippers, along with the 8 attachments that come with them, will do everything your non-professional hands can handle. Best of all, this trimmer looks pretty good doing it.

Andis Master Cordless Clippers

The Top of the Line

If you’re going to cut your own hair at home, we highly recommend Andis’ cordless clipper, which is a favorite among professional barbers for its long battery life, sleek design, and adaptability. It’s durable enough to run through thick, coarse hair without any nicks, but can also gently trim fine hair. It’s been a lifesaver for influencer Phillip Holmes, who uses this daily to keep his lineup sharp.

Oster Classic 76 Universal Motor Clippers

The Beast

Barbers call this clipper a beast for a reason. A sturdy body and a 45-watt motor (similarly priced clipper motors average about 15 watts) allow it to plow through even the curliest hairs with speed and ease without any nicks or cuts. Perfect if you want a quick quarantine buzz cut. Beware though, its motor is as loud as it is powerful.

King C. Gillette Style Master

Best Beard Trimmer

King C. Gillette is the high-end wing of the Gillette you know. How does a company built on shaving compete with the rise of beards? They make a beard trimmer, of course. And a company known for facial hair removal wasn't going to jeopardize their reputation with just any beard trimmer. They went top of the line with the Style Master and it will keep your beard looking fresh.

Remington Virtually Indestructible Grooming Kit

The All-In-One Kit

Looking for a multipurpose clipper at a great price point? Grab Remington’s taxi-colored cutter, which comes with five clip guards, and a beard attachment so you can shape your mane and facial hair in one go. While it’s smaller than most of our other favorite clippers, it definitely punches above its weight class. We found that it can still cut hair relatively quickly, and without any snagging.

Ballsy B2 Trimmer

Best Manscaping Trimmer

Trimming the hedges, so to speak, with just any old clippers is risky. Surfaces aren't as smooth and everything is more sensitive so mishaps can be painful ... or worse. With that in mind, Ballsy set out to make a purpose-built manscaping trimmer. The B2 has the power and sharpness needed to handle the job while maintaining the precision and protection needed to prevent any unfortunate damage.
