Can you use the clipper to cut around ears and back of neck, or do you need to buy the Oster finisher shaver too ?

The #0000 blade width is 1.75" (bought separately). The # 000 width is 1 11/16" and the #1 is 1 15/16" both come with the clipper. Because of the large width of the blades it could be real awkward to use around the ears on a regular hair cut or mustaches. As for the neck and sideburns no problem even as a liner. Hope this is helpful

I use it that way and scissors to clean up any areas that May need to be attended to But I notice Some barbers use a finish clipper

i use only one blade for all my haircuts ,and that`s the blade marked " 0000 " . It cuts very close, but dose not nick or catch skin . I guess you could call my haircut the " skin head look "

I used it around the ears and back of neck. However, I feel that the finisher shaver would have been easier to use. The clippers are cumbersome and I had to go around the ears very carefully.

Don't know about the Oster, but I use it to cut my son's hair and it works great. I also use it on my poodle. Neither minds. lol

Yes, the Clippers are the best thing we have ever bought!! It comes with 3 blades, several combs & case. I use it to trim around my ears all the time and when you get older to trim eyebrows. It also great for the beard and cutting razor stubble. Very well made Clippers they are worth the investment.

Neither. This is a tool for TRIMMING only. The blade never touches your skin. It will not give a close shave or pull the hair from its roots.

Yes. It has a pop-out trimmer on the back. Works well for sideburns and trimming around ears. I don't have a beard to trim, so I can't vouch for how well it would do that ... but probably ok.

There is a precision trimmer that slides out the rear similar to those on previous Norelco models for sideburns, nose hairs, etc. if that is what you mean by a body groomer.It is noisier than on my previous shavers, but works very well.

It sure does have a very good trimmer. I use mine to trim my sideburns, nose and ear hairs. Great little razor for the money.

Yes, the attachments are for trimming. Use no attachments for a close smooth shave.

It won't cut as close as a good shaver, but it cuts closer than any trimmer that I've ever owned. Note that it will take more passes to trim your entire head since the cutting area is only 1-1/8" wide, and will not follow the contours of your head since it will not flex (as will a shaver). I don't shave my head, but it does a great job around sideburns and around the neckline. I would buy this trimmer again for my uses.

Which end are you using that you are able to nick yourself? Trim all the hair down to a reasonable length with the clipper end and then use the razor end to take all the hair off. Take your time in a well lit area and to not try to hack at the hair. I find that pulling the skin taut prevents any close calls. It may also help to have someone assist you by using the razor and you just direct. If the blade needs replacing it will pull the hair and cause irritation. I have never managed to nick myself with this though like I have with standard hair clippers.

Depends if you're using it professionally. I'm a barber and i prefer the oster.

I guess so. The hair trimmer with the blue tip is like a small trimmer/clipper, not unlike hair clippers (as opposed to an open blade). Its not very strong, meant more for finer nose and ear hairs, but I'd guess it would probably work to a certain degree

This trimmer works well. However, it does not include extensions that lengthen the access of the cutting blades. It can trim the hair inside of ears to a basic level which should be sufficient for most people. It can easily be used to trim hair on the outer edges of the ear itself and can trim hair on the immediate interior. If you would hope to insert it further into the ear ... it likely won't reach.

I would recommend you contact Oster as I know of none. They are a great company, make a great product and can only guess there are models that have what ever you want. If you want longer hair on some parts of the animal, it is so smooth running and easy to control that am sure someone with a little barbering skill could do so without adding an attachment. Good luck to you, it is also a great price here. Bill

Yes I use it to shave my head as well. The size of the head makes areas around the ear and under the nose a little tricky, but with a little practice you'll be golden.

I personally have never used oster clippers but I do know guards should be used on a 10 blade or a 30 blade.

Daniel: No clipper is going to give you a smooth shave. It will cut the hairs down to a very short length, but for a smooth shave you'll need a razor or an electric shaver. Still, for cutting hair, trimming beards and nabbing those long hairs that grow on your neck, this clipper is one of the best I've owned. The battery life is simply amazing. I use these clippers to cut my hair once a week down to a 3mm length. Also, used to trim my full beard. After nearly six months of use, I'm just now getting ready to recharge for the second time. Unreal! My last set of clippers didn't last two cuttings and I had to recharge. If you can get past the cost, I highly recommend this product.
