High Grade Professional Clippers
1 of 1 found this helpful These are definitely not a toy!
I've owned many sets of clippers over the years, but these Wahl Sterling 4 series are genuinely a professional grade device.
To begin with, the blades themselves are SERIOUSLY sharp, far beyond anything I initially expected which resulted in a "first time use" mishap that left my face with a small cut that I would normally have associated with use of a safety razor. Paying careful attention to holding them at the proper angle as described and outlined in the instructions booklet is thus extremely important (such directions in this case are not included merely for those that have never used electric clippers before, but relevant beyond the usual information about simple care and maintenance).
As for their quality, once again I must reiterate the fact they are indeed very much "professional grade" which is noticeable from the moment you first lift them from their packaging. There is a slight "kick" when powering them on, but this is indicative of the power of their proprietary motor, and even my wiry old beard offers zero resistance to their cutting capability. Operating them feels exceptionally smooth and comfortable. They do not "tug" or bind up as cheaper units do if pushed too quickly, and when used correctly [see previous statement about actually reading directions] will just glide over both head and facial hair barely leaving the faintest of stubble in their wake.
Though I have not made use of the length cutting guides; being one who trims himself down to skin, their quality is also nonetheless quite apparent through visual inspection - however I do recall seeing even higher grade ones (metal I think) available in all manner of sizes from Wahl themselves and various third party vendors.
If treated with diligent care and respect, this clipper set should last a personal user or small family for a lifetime, at worst requiring a blades replacement at some point in the distant future. For a professional barber, I cannot truly say, but I am certain there is a good reason why this brand is so popular with them: "reliability" springs rapidly to mind, in addition to how effective they are, not to mention the comfortable ease with which they settle in the hand during extended usage.
I can safely state that these have rapidly become one of my "prized possessions" not only among personal grooming accessories, but indeed all of my small household appliances.

Audiophile Quality Compact DAC
So long as you have a quality set of headphones/earplugs to plug into it, then this is an amazingly high "audiophile" quality DAC add-on attachment for the LG G5 (be extra certain however, that it is suitable for your G5 model... It works perfectly with the H850 version, however some phone versions sold in the US and possibly elsewhere are unsuitable for most of the "LG Friends" attachment options).
Crisp in clarity with punch when it is appropriate, provided that you are actually listening to HD video tracks or high bitrate lossless audio codec files such as FLAC or APE and others of their ilk (rather than the pure junk quality of mp3 garbage files) in conjunction with a quality wired headset, then this Bang & Olufsen attachment makes a HUGELY positive difference to your listening experience.
The potential and most probable downfall for people that find this B&O AFD-1200 fails to fulfill their expectations very likely rests entirely upon whether they have also met the necessary quality demands on NOT ONLY their choice of analog listening device, but also the frequently, severely, overlooked aspect of choosing a high quality audio source. For those discerning folk whom pay serious attention to such details and refuse anything below CD quality lossless audio files (with a strong preference for much higher grade audio sources), this attachment is a dream come true considering its price and convenient simplicity when slotting into easy replacement for the generic base of their LG G5 mobile phone (which is the intended primary market function of this device, regardless of its ability to be also used as an in-line headset unit on computers and other non-G5 mobile devices).
One factor that also should be pointed out for those that will indeed be using the AFD-1200 as a permanent replacement for the stock base unit on their LG G5 is the size difference: This attachment is larger than the original base shipped with the phone!
Being slightly longer means that any fitted case specifically designed for the generic G5 phone WILL NO LONGER FIT those carefully designed phone cases or wallets when this attachment is added. In fact, you will likely find yourself having to stand in store and test several cases designed for similarly sized phones, and very likely make sacrifices as regards the camera aperture openings in order to retain button and fingerprint scanner access since most cases will no longer align because +95% of the available case options for the longer handset were never designed nor intended for the G5 phone model. You might be lucky if you find the right retailer that just happens to have a case in stock which matches perfectly to the new size and layout, however I would not hold such high expectations. Personally, I settled for the obvious importance of button access, and must now remove my phone from its case in order to utilise the rear camera (which is not such a bother for me, as I most often switch out modules and utilise the CBG-700 LG Cam Plus when I intend on making heavy use of the rear facing camera functionality). If you do not use a phone case or wallet, then all of this is of course useless information.

Zippo Always Means High Quality!
This Zippo model #29677 has been the cause of some personal dilemma since soon after its delivery.
I've found myself very conflicted as to whether I should make regular use of it whilst my "old trusty" is away spending time at the Bradford factory getting a minor hinge repair, or simply leave it as part of my display set. Using it, means taking extra care of it so it may return to its place in my open display set upon return of "old trusty", whereas on the other hand, it is not one of my particular high-end nor fragile coating models.
Despite its price, it remains a most aesthetically pleasing model even though its pattern is not 'deeply engraved' as one might otherwise have expected given how vivid its pattern appears both in photographs and when set on display under decent lighting. I do like to make use of most of my 'cheaper models' for at least a very short time. Generally by swapping out for a spare and well used insert so as not to damage the shiny original insert with even so much as a scratch, however I dread the thought of creating some harmful scratching to this one's casing by accidentally dumping it into a pocket with a bunch of keys. First World Problems at their finest I suppose.
Not being coated with some manner of paint does lend it far more durability in this regard, moreso than many of my even cheaper models. So, I did eventually decide to make 'some' use of it, but only when I have my leather pouch on my belt so it need never fall into a pocket and be brushed up against anything that would cause irrevocable damage (but once "old trusty" returns it will indeed have its original insert returned and resume its place as part of my open display set).
As for anything else, it is of course a Zippo, and that alone should explain any questions as to its reliability, quality of build, and the fact it shall forever enjoy the fruits of a lifetime repair warranty which covers everything EXCEPT the product's finish. If you desire a pretty design for regular use that will not quickly be scraped away from the surface, then this model is an excellent choice.
