Clippers are ideal for black men’s hair because they have the power to get through the coarse texture efficiently and precisely. They are also great for creating traditional black men’s styles, such as tapers and fades.  They also make a great black men’s shave tool. They don’t shave as close as a razor which is okay because stubble doesn’t show up as much on black faces. The fact that they don’t cut as close also makes them less likely to produce razor bumps.
