Torn between clipper brands last month, went with Wahl instead of Oster

I had to pick between a Wahl Magic Clip and an Oster Fast Feed for my mobile kit. Went with the Wahl after a buddy in Austin swore by them for fading. So far, so good, the blade cuts super smooth on thin hair. Anyone else have a preference between those two?

Picked up a Wahl Magic Clip about six months ago after my old clipper finally gave out (it was a cheap one, honestly). The blade glides through thick, coarse hair without snagging, which is huge for me since I do a lot of fades on guys with heavy beards too. My buddy swears by Oster for longevity, but I've had zero issues with the Wahl's motor bogging down even after back-to-back cuts. If you're doing mostly fine hair like you said, you made the right call - the Magic Clip's a champ for blending.

Funny you mention the Oster thing - my buddy bought one a few years back thinking it'd last forever and it started crapping out on him after like a year. He was so mad because he kept hearing how tough they were. Ended up switching to the Magic Clip too and now he won't shut up about how smooth it is.
