I am starting to shave most of my body, but I have an issue, and that issue is a safety razor. It works well for my face, albeit with some irritation. The blades also dull pretty fast, as I have really coarse hair, and this issue only gets worse if I'm trying to shave my legs. It also takes quite a long time to get everything with a safety razor, in addition to it being irritating and also failing at it's one job. I appreciate any recommendation and/or reply, thanks in advance y'all!

Also search engines suck, everything is SEO and affiliate links, I promise I wouldn't be bugging y'all otherwise ;)

    I think WAHL is the best. When I was in rehab one of the guys had a pair of professional wahl clippers and they did a really good job, pricey though.

      WAHL is a good answer. They are a bit on the pricier side, but a lot of professionals use them.

      I’ve used the same Wahl clippers for well over five years now. It works for all hair on my body, although it got the most use as a beard trimmer.

        My dad still has a mini Wahl trimmer that is like 35+ years old. I used it over Christmas to trim my beard. It's corded so not quite as convenient as a modern cordless but it's still chugging along.

          I got a corded one because batteries die and companies love to change battery types or just make it not repairable. But, it’s a bit less convenient to wrangle a cord.

      I might have to give it a shot, it could be worth the higher price tag, as long as it would last a long time.
