Manual Hair Clippers Advice

[TheFlyingFrenchman]

Okay, So me and another fellow Hijacked the regular hair clipper thread. Then started a new one to keep it seperate.
A quick forum search reveals that a similar thread came up around Christmas.
Has anybody tried any vintage or modern manual hair clippers? I heard that there are some to be found on the bay, but I haven't checked for myself.
Any information at all about these or links as to where to find more would be much appreciated.
If none can be found then I'll just break down and buy an electric set I suppose.

Geez, I looked into this a good while back meself. If I remember correctly, the newer ones like the Bressant brand manual clippers were pretty bad BUT the old vintage ones that you can find on the bay and antique shops were given pretty good marks. Couldn't find out why as they look alike and pretty much work the same way.
I think Classicshaving.com sells a manual clipper as well as amazon.

CS only seems to have the Bressants. I can't comment on them, as I've never used them.

I have a vintage one that I reviewed six months ago, although I only used it on my beard.

Posting a WTB here might get you one, but you'll probably have to resort to eBay.

The barbers that I did the start of my training in has manual clippers. Vintage original ones but still in full working order. They cut nice and tight are the blades are very sharp but obviously they take a bit longer that electric ones. They just sometimes use then and only for tidying up the back of the neck area.
