My gran said to me once when I was a kid:-

"It's daft why men go bald on top, but still grow beards, god should have put their heads on upside down"......

I go for the 'Grade 0.5' look too. I'm really fussy about cutting method at the blade, & will only ever use Wahl clippers. Call it psychological, but it's the difference between a rotary mower & a proper cylinder - if you look at the grass blades afterward, they've been traumatised into shortening, versus perfectly 'sheared' with a scissor action. The mains Wahls are proper oscillating armature machines - which I think gives the best finish, esp where leaving some stubble. That round Babyliss will for example cut 'fuzzy'.
I've realised that nothing beats the Wahl balding for a very close head and also face shave

Do those clippers just come with Grade 0.5? I'm down to 1 every 2 weeks but thinking about just removing the guard and seeing what I end up with tongue out
