clippers

Barber's cutting implements

Clippers are cutting tools with two blades that meet, used for trimming hair, nails, or hedges: nail clippers, hair clippers, hedge clippers.

Electric clippers buzz through hair quickly.

Historically, clippers were fast sailing ships with sharp bows designed to "clip" through waves: The tea clippers raced from China to London.
