Can anyone recommend a decent brand for DIY hair trimming?

Wahl, mains not battery, and proper regular oiling makes the thing work
far better.

whilst on the subject of hair trimming i am fed up of going to the barbers
and keep pondering over getting one of these clippers. i have only ever
had scissor cuts so am wondering can you get a decent cut with them, i
don't want to end up looking like a skin head.

Yes. Almost. Better if your SWMBO or a mate has a steady hand and can help
out.

The one thing that's hard is to trim the neckline nicely - better someone
else does that. The only other disadvantage with DIY hairtrimming is that
it's hard to feather the sides and back nicely. Having said that, a DIY'd
No6 or No4 looks even and presentable, just lacks finish.
