It never hurts to have more power. The Senior clipper from Wahl is one of the heavy hitters of hair clippers. It has a V9000 electromagnetic motor so it can slice through dry or wet hair like butter andis good for heavy cutting. The rapid cutting pace combined with the wide blade size can fade, taper, and blend no matter how thick a head is. The 2.5 inch wide body fits in the hand without straining the wrist too. It's built with a thick metal casing to improve its durability and longevity. This power house could be hanging on your wall for a long time. Adjustable blade. Ergonomic design reduces fatigue.
