One of the best investments I have made

Oster 76 Hair Clippers

I have been cutting my own hair for 6 or 7 years now.  I always used the clippers from Walmart.  I needed new clippers every 6 months or so they were always breaking.

The Oster 76 is supposed to be built like a tank so I gave it a try.  Been using it for 3 years and still running perfectly.  Costs about $130 but well worth it.  No more replacing clippers all the time.  You really save a lot of money cutting your own hair.

Agreed.  I think I got my clippers for $20-40 at RiteAid, but I don't remember the exact price since it was 2005.  Haven't paid for a haircut since.

Many other Mustachians (both male and female) agree!  :)

+1.  I tried all the clippers locally available which would only last a few months (still savings compared to Barber).  Then I found the Oster clippers which are unbelievable and still going strong.  Definitely recommend!
