Review (5/5): A Cut Above the Other Wahl Guards
I bought this to use with a Wahl Color Pro clipper set because the 1/2 guard included with it seemed to be a bit flimsy. While it would likely last for a while, I like the peace of mind of having more stability with a guard that cuts so close. Having read some of the reviews of that clipper set, someone mentioned the Wahl Professional series.
This guard uses the metal clip to stabilize the guard and it makes a world of difference. While I cannot confirm that the plastic itself is any different, it simply seems more stable and sturdy. Because of the clip and other metal used, it seems like there is less stress placed on areas that could break or wear down over time from attaching/reattaching.
Based on my experience with this size, I would be interested in a 1 and 1.5 guard from the professional series. Highly recommended...
