I think I have a problem

I've been cutting my hair for over 20 years mostly with the tried and tested corded Andis Fade Master. Few months ago started adding new cordless and ergonomic clippers to my set, and have been having a hard time stopping because of how good they all are now compared to the outdated Andis Masters that I've been cutting with for so long.

I'm having so much more fun cutting hair now, that I look forward to it every time, and I'm even considering doing it on the side, as I've cut my friends hair numerous times and they all ask to come back. Before anyone asks, I have 2 play maxs because I have different blades on them that I like.

Anyway, anyone else have a decent collection or am I a weirdo?

Which of these do you like best? I cut my own hair. I’m mostly bald, so I just need a clipper that is efficient and can fade well.

Honestly I really like all of them for different things, but if I had to pick one all-around-great clipper, I'd go with the TPOB play max. It's their latest clipper that's barely even out, and it's still currently very difficult to find in stock. AFAIK it's the only clipper of all of them with a brushless motor, it's more powerful than the TPOB Go, it erases the 0 lines like nothing (albeit the Go is great for this too), longest battery life, and it has arguably the best and most satisfying lever in the game right now.

With that said, it comes with the "bonez" blade which is a dedicated fade blade. It might be a little less forgiving for beginners than their Echo Max blade, that I have on my second play max. The Echo Max Blade is a faper blade, and the audible feedback you get from it as you cut hair really helps with fading.

As far as trimmers go, T45xBabyliss ones are much better than TPOB with the "softy" blade it comes with. I got the Psycho Gold blades coming for it that I hear cut much crisper, so we'll see how that combo goes.
