Jeffsxyz, it doesn't matter where you got the "good" unit, you are truly an artist with the clippers. Cutting and blending like that is phenomenal. Glad you posted those pics on this forum. It is a...

My suggestion is use as much of your own hair as possible, and if you have hair on the crown, go for a partial topper. Looks like you will have to shave the top to get good attachment. You may want ...
