Liners: T-Outliner or Slimline Pro Li. Nothing else is even worth a look.
Adjustable: Wahl 5-Star Seniors (or Sterling -- same motor). Andis Masters. For cordless, the Wahl Magic Clip/Sterling.
Detachable blade: Oster 76 or Oster Model 10. For cordless, Andis Supra or Andis BRG
Shears: For just starting out, Equinox shears on Amazon. $15 and they're great. For much later, there are too many to name. All preference. Have to go somewhere and feel them out.
Straight blade: Same as shears. Any $10 cutthroat with decent reviews will suffice. All depends on if you like the snap lock blade holder (much better, IMO) than the slide in type. I like a natural handle (black or wood), but I've used this one for years (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0118BJ0PA?psc=1) and it's really good. The handle loosens over time, however, and gets annoying. But for $12, you can't really complain.
Good luck and have fun. I never touched a pair of clippers until September of last year. I'm not done with school and making excellent money. Don't let any distractors get in your way. Just focus and do work.
Haven’t read it yet. Gonna check it out.
Wahl sterling mag cordless. I’m telling you I’ve seen these things blow up. I got them about 2 years ago and there were like 20 reviews. Now there are hundreds and barbers upon barbers can’t say enough good things about them.
-Quiet (good for kids)
-Not too sharp but extreme clean line (my wahl detailers weren’t even zero gapped but were cutting people)
-Cordless but charge lasts for days 2-3 (10+ heads a day)
-Feels good in hand.
-Don’t get hot
I am not a fan of andis t outliners at all. Never understood the hype besides they are reliable. They get very hot extremely fast and there are better trimmers with cleaner lines imo.
Wahl detailers are my second fave. Very sharp blade so not really good for kids.
Andis black cordless trimmers just their basic ones. I forget the name. I had them and they held a good charge. We all used these thru barber school. Never got hot. Not a T blade though. Charge lasted about 2 days (10 cuts a day or so). These are good kids trimmers.
But I’m telling you, get your paws on these. I tossed the rest of my trimmers and am buying a backup.

OP, from what I understood, that's the so called 'blade guard' I guess - for example, Wahl's is always a small red plastic piece.
I haven't seen Oster selling them separately. Not sure if you still need info on that, but here are two options:
For blades only, you can use something like this blade organizer. It should be alright with Oster blades too, despite having Wahl written over it. Actually, a few reviews mention people use it with Oster blades indeed.
For a case that will cover the clipper, you can think about getting something like this organizer. I've had a friend who used it for his Fast Feed and accessories and it was alright!
I'm sure you already know this, but it heats up like hell due to its strong universal motor. You might need to use a cooling spray and will definitely have to clean it after each use or so.
Also, if you ever decide to branch out with the 76 blades, here's a guide on all the blades with their # as per Oster standards and the length of their cut in inches/mm.
I've never used the color pros so I'm not sure. I think some "home" clippers have the blades set up in a way that they can't be zero gapped for safety reasons but I have no way of knowing of that one is that way.
The Baldings are great, but kind of unnecessary as well. They're typically used by barbers for balding so that they don't have to use their liners, which can save some time and doesn't dull the liners' blades as fast.
If money is a factor, the Andis Combo is a good deal. The outliner will get hot after 25 or 30 minutes as well, but you shouldn't need them for that long for balding a fade.
Edit: If you like your Wahl guards, you can get this set for cheaper also. Designers are more than enough for home use, and Peanuts are small, but they're a decent liner that you can zero gap for balding.
For a price break:
Yessir, I bought two knock off clippers from amazon for $30 a piece. I only bought these for class because I keep my nicer tools at the shop but honestly I recommend them. Both of the ones I bought come with their own guards but can use all wahl guards as well.
I prefer this clipper over the other one I bought. It cuts pretty clean just heats up kinda fast. The last cut I posted on here I actually cut with this clipper. However, they raised the price since I bought it. That’s some shit, wouldn’t recommend it for the new price tag:
omwah clipper
This clipper is basically a magic clip. It does the job and lasts me about two cuts before needing a charge. Mine doesn’t really get too hot but my buddies heats up pretty quickly so maybe I just got lucky or he got unlucky. I’d recommend this one for sure, especially for the price tag.
suprent clipper
I would say it depends on your budget. I've been a Barber for close to Twenty years. Here are some of my recommendations:
For your best all around clippers.

For great edgers
https://www.amazon.com/Andis-Professional-T-Outliner-Trimmer-04710/dp/B000143C0K
Great fading and tapering clippers
https://www.amazon.com/Andis-15-Watt-Adjustable-Clipper-01557/dp/B000BBGS36?th=1
I've heard great things about these my coworker had them and he loved them.
I use the T edgers. They're a great hearty little trimmer. I had issues with zero gapping. They became too sharp, but that could be because I'm still learning to to make them 100% perfect.
MAGIC Monsieur Charles Razor, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000PD79GA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DQ2hAb5GKGY9P -------
This has been my favorite, works great with feather razors for full face shaves, and with cheap half blades for the back of the neck.
Although I had to buy a second one with how loose the pivot point got. Even has a handy set screw for the slide. Really like it for the money and awesome weight to the "blade".
Appreciate it. Here's where I bought mine from.
Oster Professional Common Wealth Edition Black Classic 76 Hair Clipper 76076-411 BONUS 1 Black & 1 White Anti-Static Barber Comb https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071KJS51Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_KLVWAbG0Z2J6T
All of my barbers and myself included use these. We’re a fully booked shop and they do the job for us. They’re the only cordless clippers I like, and I actually like them more than any corded clippers.
Wahl Cordless Clippers
Being cordless is a huge advantage for home haircuts as well.
Use the premium 1.5 wahl guard. It comes in a set with the .5 guard. They’re way better than the grey ones that come with the clippers. I’d definitely recommend getting the full 1/8 - 8 set as well though.

What insoles are you using? I started using SuperFeet (https://www.amazon.com/Superfeet-GREEN-Full-Length-Insole/dp/B002T0072U?th=1&psc=1) last year after battling plantar fasciitis for a bit (I'm flat-footed), and these worked WONDERS. My pain is 100% gone. My back feels a bit better too.
On top of that, use Oofos (https://www.amazon.com/OOFOS-OOAHH-Unisex-Sandal-MASSAGER/dp/B0155I7GT4/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1511798338&sr=1-2-spons&nodeID=7141123011&psd=1&keywords=oofos&psc=1) around your house. They're ugly as sin, but incredibly comfortable and provide support. Combine the two, barely walk around without arch support, and you'll be in good shape.
Sorry for the link gore.
You can buy a straight edge "shavette" on Amazon for like 15 bucks with 100 disposable blades.

I have one. Its nothing special, but it will shave your face. Good for a beginner.
Andis pro slimline cordless t-blade trimmer, 1 Count, Silver https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01499YQP2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_GbjMBb0V8YT8W
This one? Yeah it looks sick but a little more expensive. Do you think it’s worth paying extra for this over the other two?
For self haircutting? Just get some Wahl designers, should be more than enough clipper for you. The set on Amazon includes Wahl peanut trimmers and a set of guards for 70 bucks
