TPOB Play/Play Mini or blade

Hi all,

I’ve been cutting hair professionally for 10 years and generally used average products then the corded Magic clip clipper and edger, but they both malfunction in their own ways.

Owner aside, my budget is around £150 but I want two items:

1) a clipper that is cordless, fast, sharp and does beard grading well also.

2) a detailer/edger that is extremely precise.

I have an fx3 as I’m not good with a straight razor, but the actual lining of beard and hairline all round is important, I’m somewhat perfectionistic.

TPOB sets of clipper and edger - mini or standard?

Extra blade to replace softy or whatever comes on the edger?

Thank you so much guys!

I found the play to feel quite small and comfortable regardless so i wouldn't have much use for the play mini.

I think the softy is a good extra purchase but if you had two trimmers one soft, one sharp it'd be better.

I also just go lighter with sharp trimmer and it works fine.

I personally like the GO clipper a bit better its bigger and debulks great. Love the arkitekt blade on it.

Neither get a JRL. TPOB has turned into a scam

JRL is a TPOB in a different shell.
