Can you dry shave with these clippers? Also will it give you sharp lines when edging a beard line?

These are clippers not edgers/trimmers. Andis T outliners are PERFECT for what you're describing. Look into those. I use them and they are thee best!!!

Yes you can dry shave and you can edge it but you won't get the crisp line you're looking for.

I wouldn't, pretty sharp but you can if u want. Sharp enough lines but nothing close to a straight blade.

Yes but you have to lower and adjust the blades. Only do it if you know what you are doing. If not I suggest you buy a trimmer.

I only dry shave and they work great. Don't have a beard so I can't answer that. Makes nice sideburn lines.

It's wet/ dry razor, yes, you can. My husband prefers dry shaving- just works better for his skin. Just make sure you clean it after every use and dry it so it doesn't get nasty over time.

Depends on how your beard and skin is, I think these are a little to close of a shave for stubble look and they aren't adjustable .. if your going for a stubble look, regular haircut clippers are definitely the way to go..

Your dogs must be clean when clipping. If you are clipping them without bathing, the dirty fur will quickly dull the blade. The blades cannot be sharpened, according to the guy who does my blade sharpening. I am buying my second blade and have had my clipper for about 15 months. I am a groomer and use it for small areas on dogs and for cats.

I keep a beard, and use this for a little neck-scrape more often than I use a razor. It's certainly not going to give you a close shave like a razor would, but it'll clean you up pretty good without pulling your hair. I've found that corded clippers like this are more consistent and powerful than their cordless counterparts, which means you have less "pull".

I have no clue, since I never had the older model. When you say "shave" do you mean like a bowling ball, or just a close crop. I use it to trim my full beard, but I see no reason why the attachments can't be used to give a "crew cut". But, it will not trim down to the scalp. Only a safely razor can do that.

I haven't used the Feather Blades Nico, but I can tell you the Shark blades have worked out really well for me. I get a really close, comfortable shave from them and I have pretty tough facial hair. I'm also pretty surprised by how long they stay sharp. They certainly aren't one and done on the shaving. Also I shave my head with them and I haven't gotten any nicks or cuts from using them.

Foil type shavers need dry skin to glide properly unlike razors. You won't get a good shave in wet conditions in my experience.

Yes, they have a full line of blades. You can clip as close as you need. The 50 blade will take hair to 1/125th. A 40 blade to 1/100th. The clippers generally are shipped with a 10 blade which will clip to 1/16th. They have blades for almost every clip you need.

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.

Yes - there is a zero setting on clippers. Wide clipping area. However, the various attachments mean I can self groom without having to shave it all off. - martie

They provide a very close shave for those areas. I have used the to shave my face after a week's beard growth with ease.... not razor close of course but very close for a battery powered clipper.

I use another trimmer for edges but I don't see why it wouldn't create a great edge. Only concern with edge trimming is that the blade is very wide, not ideal for curves/bends in the hair line. Hope that was helpful.

Yes, I use them for everything. I've been grooming for 2+ years & these are my favorite shears. I haven't needed to have them sharpened yet (I've had them for a couple months) and so far they've been phenomenal.

I've never used the clippers as a beard shaver. I do use the trimmer on my facial hair though, even though it doesn't have any sort of adjustments for it. It works for me and gives you a scruff look. I would assume though that using the main clipper on a longer beard would work and could then be cleaned up with the trimmer.

If I were you I wouldn't buy the razor blades. They don't cut at all. They all set in my shaving cabinet. The razor is well built but the blades are SH_ _!

Not sure I understand the question. You mean like a groomer comes with beard/hair length attachment? No. The trimmer flips up and what you hold it to, it cuts. When trimmers on shavers first appeared, they were shown in the commercials just putting a crisp edge to the bottom of sideburns, that's it. (Regular sideburns, not Star Trek style.) But this will do more. It's fine for edging a beard. The trimmer blade is wider than some groomer blades I've seen. The rotary head will handle a few days' stubble (for me at least), but if you've gone a week or two without shaving, the trimmer will also cut your beard down to a more shave-able level.
