Lots of good sites. Just Google them.

Now actual floid blue is discontinued. You can get the clones but even they are being discontinued.

Is that blue your grail? You seem keen on it. Is it blue in the sense of a blue cologne, I.e., aquatic vibes?

 

[Brad H]

Not the grail. Just a good one to stock up on as it’s not easier to find.
Guess I have a few of them I bought over the years.

 

[seanv]

Check topofthechain.ca they seem to have a good stock of things and are shipping to the states again...kind of

 

[Brad H]

Most of the things at topofthechain.ca can be bought in the states for less.

 

[seanv]

That may be but we aren't all in the states. For those that are, it is always nice to have another option for something that may be out of stock

Rogaine

I know you’re joking but for anyone considering Rogaine, it does nothing. YMMV of course, genetics and body chemistry and what have you. As for me, I have faced the music. But I never could get a good cut from hair clippers if I wanted to be close-cropped. I have now found the solution:

 

[Egg Shen]

It has no adjustment lever and only comes with 1/16 and 3/16 blades. If you get tired of going over your head ten times with a .5 hair clipper guard and still finding hairs of dissimilar lengths, this is for you. It also has extra short teeth if you’re a dude that puts them directly to the scalp with no guard.

 

[Brad H]

Very true. Just letting him know there are cheaper options as he is state side.
If in Canada yeah, probably good selection. Honestly surprised to see that site had PAA.
If it’s something you want, roll the dice. I just did with snuff from England.

Instincts tell me you like the lime……
Razor rock has a wonderful lime. It’s (razorock XXX)

I remember the days where I needed thinning scissors. Now if anyone knows where I can find ones that thicken please reach out

I had been point cutting the ladies of the house but the texture was a bit erratic. I can get a smoother finish with the thinning shears. My boy and I are fine with buzz cut fades. Nothing left long enough to thin.

Can the blades be zero gapped?

My son and I use a Remington Balder Pro in the summer. Leaves zero hair.

Lime is my main summer jawn where I have all aspects of life lime. I do have some other non lime summer scents of course

They're great!

@Egg Shen I just looked up that Wahl Balding clipper and ordered one. Looks to be something to make fading a bit simpler!

Btw their product literature didn’t go into 0 Gap. What is that, how is it achieved? I’m unsure if my balding trimmer is 0 gap.

 

[Waning Embers]

I also have this backpack where I keep all of my hair grooming instruments. During the 2020 lock down all of the family was calling me for haircuts so I grabbed one for easy house calls.

You adjust the gap between the blades to achieve a skin close cut.

It's a smock for my victims.

Haha dag. No dice.
There is a philips head screw turn thing that adjusts that. I forgot because I wasn’t sure if I’d ever use that feature. Thanks for the reminder

 

[Waning Embers]

You definitely have to use the top of the blades against the skin with that configuration. Making skin contact with the lower blade will cut like a razor!
