I was using this to cut my family's hair. I'm selling it because I bought a different hair clipper. How about it for cutting children's hair or self-cuts for fades? ^_^ I stored it in the box, so the condition is very clean. The sharpness is also excellent. The box shows signs of use. If you don't need it, please let me know in the comments when you purchase it. Uses 2 AA batteries. I have cleaned the clippers themselves and stored them in the box, but there may be some fine hairs stuck to them. Thank you for your understanding. Includes oil to improve blade smoothness. I will ship it with the batteries removed.
