I know you wanted cordless, but I have the Ooster 76 and it's simply fantastic. Talk about BIFL, this thing is a beast.

I also did just get this Philips Norelco for beard trimming. Is pretty damn good. But haven't had it for very long.

I really liked that Norelco 5000/7000/9000 line for the size and price but they don’t come with a 1” guard and I couldn’t find any aftermarket for it so it would limit it to just a beard trimmer for me (which isn’t necessarily a no-go).

I have heard some pretty great things about Osters and that one looks sick, but for the same price I can get the cordless Magic Clip (or corded) and it comes with the 1” guard, so I’d probably go that route unless it’s significantly better.

Sure, but then you'd have a Wahl.

Buy once, cry once. I must have bought 6 or 8 Wahl's before I decided to get a good product. Granted, I never did get a Magic Clip though.

Oh that’s weird when googling Reddit threads about trimmers/clippers by far the top recommendation was Wahl that’s the only reason I was looking at them. Interesting to know that’s not necessarily the case.

I also went through 3 pairs of Chaco Sandals before I stopped buying them.

Apparently products that others use for years and years I kill in just one. I don't think I'm using them differently, they just end up breaking on me.

Lol well to be fair I’m in the same boat with most stuff so I should probably take your recommendations to heart

The nice thing about the Oster clippers is that they use extremely high quality but cheap interchangeable (with Andis or other) blades. You can even get ceramic ones. And they're built like the 1960s.

And, actually, shit, they're way cheaper now than when I bought mine about 20 years ago!
