Instead, they recommend something with plenty of oomph. "It's pretty much a case of horsepower," says Denis Robinson, barber at Ruffians. "A good, strong motor means your clippers will accept and hold a good charge, with no tailing off in cutting power as the battery fades out." That means you want to look for high voltage – a pair that'll store plenty of juice – and try to avoid anything that may compromise their longevity. But a good workman is only as good as his tools (that's how the saying goes, right?), which is why we've sought the expertise of Denis Robinson, creative director at Ruffians. He agrees that much like a good moisturiser or face wash, men's hair clippers are an important staple to get right to bolster any grooming routine. With our combined help, you'll be armed with enough knowledge to buy the best hair clippers for men on the market and avoid giving yourself a haircut that resembles a badly mown lawn. Consider blades too, Robinson advises. "There are a lot of different types available now – titanium, carbon and the like – but, to be honest, you can't beat a good classic set of steel blades," he explains. "Look for a thin profile – a blade that sits closest to the skin – as this allows for a closer cut and more control." As with anything in life, you get what you pay for, and if a stint at barbering college isn't on the cards, then you probably don't need a set of hair clippers powered by something akin to a lawnmower motor. But going cheap can be a false economy – bad hair clippers mean bad haircuts, always and forever.

Of course there are other things to consider when choosing a good pair of clippers. Battery life, clipper lengths and even weight are all important factors. Some things are going to be more important to you than others. Robinson, for example, places great weight on the, ahem, weight of his clippers. Hair clippers can either be wired or cordless and usually come with a host of accessories, some of which are more essential than others. Here are some questions you should be asking yourself when buying the perfect set of clippers for you. Are Wired or Cordless Clippers Best?

Enjoy professional results and have full control and comfort whilst you cut, thanks to the Comfort Glide Adjustable Combs (3-35mm). The main thing that I always say is clean and oil your clippers,' says Robinson. 'When you buy a set they have a little dusting brush and oil in the kit. It really helps to get a smooth cut if you dust the hair build up off the blade during the cut. And definitely once you’ve finished dust all the hair detritus off and then use a little oil on the blades. If you leave a number of weeks between uses, I would also suggest applying a little oil before you switch them on. Once you’ve turned them on, use the blade adjustment lever to move the blade up and down to allow the oil to move over the full range of the blade. This ensures a smooth cut and protects the blades.
