Cutting your own hair at home is a risky endeavor, or even having a friend cut it for you, if they aren’t a professional. Still, I believe a good clipper is one of those essential devices that every guy should have at home, so let’s get you outfitted with the best clippers for at home haircuts, buzzcuts, etc—whether you’re buzzing yourself, your kids, your roommate, your partner, whomever.

For this, though, I went to the pro: Eric Becker, head educator and barber with Blind Barber. I wanted his picks for the best men’s hair clippers (ok, no gendering or aging on these clippers, they work great on women and kids too). Here are Becker’s picks for the best of the best, at least if you’re DIYing it at home.
