Hair clipper teardown: comparing changes in design after 50 years

For beard trimmers eventually the blades dull, and the motion gets variable enough that you start to get patchy results. If something plastic doesn’t break. I just replaced mine with a small pair of wahl professional grade trimmers. They do a world’s better job on my face. And are both smaller and more durable seeming. Was sick of buying a new trimmer every year.

Right with you. I use a consumer Wahl, and it’s MUCH easier to trim the beard than those little underpowered cordless ones. Plus I cut my hair like @anon24181555 upthread. 1/2" all over, angled ones behind and over ears, 1/4" back of head and blending angled to top, done. Except for calling in the wife to do the back of my neck. Tried to do it in the 3 way mirror, that’s crazy hard.
