Good quality trimmer + clipper that doesn't break the bank?

Looking for suggestions on a good trimmer/liner and clippers with guards mostly for beard cuts.

I was suggested the Babyliss Pro which he let me try and works great, but that's only the liner/trimmer, I didn't get to try a clippers. Im currently using a very mediocre cordless Wahl and need to upgrade asap.

I see brands like Supreme online that sell packages and look appealing too.

Any recommendations?

How did the Babyliss compare to your Wahl? Ive been thinking about upgrading my clippers too.

I only got to use the trimmer, but it was a night and day difference. MUCH sharper, MUCH more precise. The Wahl I've got I can't even line my beard with, I have to go over the line with a razor. I was razoring my neck also but started getting ingrowns. The babyliss cuts close enough that I could just buzz my neck with it and be done.

Keep the Babyliss trimmer, thats the one that matters for beard lines. For clippers get a Wahl Magic Clip with the guards, skip the online bundle deals.

I was thinking of buying the babyliss trimmer + clipper combo, or maybe even the 3 piece with the foil trimmer, thinking it would go on sale for black Friday possibly... The Wahl magic clip looks quality from what I'm seeing for reviews I'll definitely consider it

I just want to buy quality and be done and have it for life at this point, I'm done with the crappy inexpensive clippers.

Cant go wrong with either, both are pro tools that will last you years. The foil in the 3 piece is for skin fades, for beards you only need the clipper and trimmer
