Looking to purchase a new set of clippers and was wondering which set of clippers people preferred the Andis ShowEdge clippers or Andis excel 5 speed clippers?
We won a set of the show edge clippers, tried them out once and didn't like them at all. To me they seemed big and bulky. I felt the angle made it more difficult than a two or 5 speed.
I love my 5 speeds, especially how much lighter they are and how they fit in your hand.
Same as above. My son won a pair of the Show Edge clippers and I didn't care for the feel of them. Plus the Sullivan rep told me I would have to buy new blades, that the Show Edge clippers have so much power that they throw the blades off. I traded them for a 5 speed and love them. The way they balance in your hand is incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend the 5 speed.
I have been looking at ShowEdge clippers. I come from a time that we clipped with sheep heads, and I have never really gotten comfortable with the new clipper design.
I can tell that they are a little heavier. I just can't seem to get comfortable clipping tops with a blade that isn't parallel to the motor.
