Abstract: A bladeset for a hair clipper includes blade teeth configured to guide hair strands toward a cutting zone and to retain hair strands in the cutting zone. By more effectively guiding and retaining the hair strands into the cutting zone, more complete hair cutting may be achieved. Another feature of the present self-cutting hair trimmer is a housing configured to provide a cutting line associated with a generally elongate handle, which in turn provides a bladeset angle of attack substantially perpendicular to hair to be cut on all parts of a self-user's head or a subject's head when the present trimmer is held by a user in either hand.

Abstract: A cord wrap for use with a clipper is provided. The cord wrap accommodates a power cord associated with the clipper and has at least one retaining structure for retaining the power cord on the clipper. Provided on the at least one retaining structure is a cord channel which supports at least one loop of the cord.
