TPOBPlay Barber Hair Clipper and Trimmer for Men 7500 RPM with Rubber Grips (Blackout 2 Set)

The short review:As I write this, Amazon is selling the black/color for $97, and my white/black was $129. It’s worth every penny of the higher cost. My direct and to-the-point recommendation is that if you're looking at these at all, get one. Look at the professional reviews of these and you’ll discover these are exceptionally highly regarded; I trust the guys who use these every day to put food on their table and a roof over their heads. Seriously, 5 of 5 stars and I’d give it bonus points if I could.The long review:If you’re worried about overpaying for something that a $30 clipper can do, I get it. $30 clippers are cheap and tend to break when dropped, aren’t well aligned, and are noisy. The blades dull quickly and you wind up with imprecise and uneven cuts. Do they cut hair? Sure, but it isn’t ever going to be a truly great cut and it’ll take a lot longer to do. How do I know? Because I did that for probably two decades before I finally got a professional quality clipper, an Andis ProAlloy. I think that set me back something like $120 back in 2002, which is more like double that in today’s money. It has paid for itself many, many times over. Recently, I’ve started to note a decline in performance and thought maybe it was time to explore cordless options. I’m sure the Andis would function as good as ever with a new blade and a little tuning, and I plan on doing that, but I figured I’d see how things had changed, and so decided to investigate cordless options.My background in barberism (get it?): On deployment a fellow Airman shoved a clipper at me and asked me to cut his hair. I’d never done it before. The basic buzz was easy as pie. As the deployment went along, I learned to taper and fade. I’m not a pro, and may never be, but I can make good basic cuts and I tend to cut my hair a lot better than barbers who charge quite a bit to ultimately frustrate me. Cuts being anywhere from $25-70 plus a tip make it awfully economical to cut your own hair, and frankly, it’s a lot easier than it might seem. With this as my basis for purchase, it was pretty easy to justify cheap clippers, and frankly, easier every day to justify quite expensive ones. Top of the line clippers are anywhere from $300-500 (very few in that top range). Most of the pros are using ones around $200-300. That’s four to six (or less) cuts worth of money and now you can do it yourself. These are selling for $98-$130 right now, which is even fewer trips to the barber per dollar.I watched a bunch of videos that professionals were making. I literally could not find a bad review of these, and in fact found nothing but glowing reviews. Everything they said about the clipper is precisely what I discovered when I finally got it in my hands. They’re absurdly quiet. The shape seems like it might not be all that ergonomic but as soon as you put it in your hand, you understand entirely; feels amazing. It’s got a metal body with a rubberized grip that isn’t so grippy that hair wants to stick to it; it’s more like slightly more grippy plastic if that makes any sense. The blade is incredibly sharp and you can darned near shave with it; use caution edging/blocking; it didn’t cut me, but you can certainly tell if you’re aggressive that it will (so a trimmer is in order unless you’re doing very light touch). You can zero gap them and comes with a tool to let you do that. For those of you who don’t know, zero-gapping is removing the distance between the stationary blade (the one on the ‘back’ of the clipper) and the cutting blade (the one between the top of the clipper and the stationary blade) which effectively shaves you. You can also adjust this to whatever gap you’d like. And the lever has detents; most clippers that cost less will have a ‘floating’ lever to adjust the closeness of the cut. This makes it MUCH easier to get the correct length since you know exactly how many ‘clicks’ you’ve moved the blade gap. The blade itself is incredibly sharp and precise. It stays cool which greatly extends blade sharpness and life, but also makes the clippers more efficient. There’s very little going over the same spot again; it just cuts.I cannot say enough good things about this clipper. As the pros consistently say, this is every bit as good as MUCH more expensive clippers, and better than a great many that cost much more. If you need a good set, this is it.

Best clippers ever purchased! I need bulk cutters for the shop, I have the Trolls and the slime but needed heavy hitters. Most top professional clippers too expensive and downgraded from years ago. No longer the powerhouses they used to be. So I got another pair of TPOB's and man oh man these are exactly what I need. Quiet and powerful goes through the hair like it's nothing cuts are always clean.

I have been using Oster, Wahl and Andis for over 30 years and they are all great clippers. But, the TPOB does it all... I can get my son's hair down to the skin and fade much easier and quicker than I could with my other clippers. My other clippers, I used my Oster to skin the sides and back, used the Wahl to fade (took some time) and used the Andis to line up. I still use the Andis for lines. These clippers are definitely worth every dollar spent. Lets see if it last 20 years like my Oster 76.

I work in a barber shop where I’m doing 10-15 cuts a day. I have tried TONS of different clippers and none have even come close to these! Not only are they light, they are so easy to fade with I can’t explain it. I don’t need two different clippers to get lines out. They are absolutely worth it!!!
