Disabled guy looking for hair clipper recommendations
So, basically I was born without a left hand, and my right, and only hand, has only 3 fingers. It's a mouthful to explain, I know. Basically, not only do I only have 3 fingers, but the hand itself and the fingers are very small, also. So I'm looking for a hair clipper which can be used for both my short beard and for doing a fade for my haircut. It needs to me medium or small in size, I'd say, preferably closer to small, but it doesn't have to be tiny. I think I could even make the babyliss gold fx skeleton work, for example. I'm looking for something of quality that lasts, too. Keep in mind that I'm in northern europe, though, so a clipper that might be a wicked good deal in the US for example might end up not-so-great with shipping and import taxes here, but I am open to taking a look at all options!

what is your upper limit on budget?
how much relative functionality do you have in your right hand?
main reason for the second question is the remington shortcut might be an option, though changing the guards or cleaning the blades may be cumbersome https://www.remingtonproducts.com/products/shave-and-groom/clippers-and-trimmers/hair-clippers/hc4250-at1-shortcut-clipper-pro.aspx
Missed your message, sorry. I'd say 150 euros is what I'd prefer the max be, but to be honest I don't really have much a limit since I'm looking for something that will last and be used a lot, def not something that's like 300-400 though.
That clipper you linked to looks interesting, but very wide. Keep in mind that the issue for me in terms of my hand is mainly not being able to grip wide things.
I’ve never handled it, but the Wahl Peanut is advertised as being a compact razor. I have another Wahl that I’m happy with.
