Here's a tutorial on cutting your hair with clippers. Don't know if it's any good or not since I've never done it either. I ordered a wahl clipper kit this week also, so we'll see how it goes.

I use a set of Wahl pet clippers ("Pet-Clip Deluxe" or something like that). 
No removeable guards, but it does have a little lever on the side that adjust the blades a bit. Goes from pretty much shaving to about 1/8" long.
We also have a couple of people clippers, a Wahl my Sis was going to throw away (someone had dropped it and one blade was crooked) and a smaller Oster that my wife used on my hair for probably 30 years.
My hair is still pretty thick, and the pet clippers don't even slow down. Plus, I like not having to mess with removeable guards.
Whatever you get, I'd also recommend a corded model.

I have been cutting my own for over 20yrs and currently use a Wahl. I used to do a much better job when I was younger and cared more. 
Now it's an oops and then I laugh.

Wahls are great but I upgraded to Andis master clippers with the vac attachment and couldnt be happier
I buzz cut my own hair for several years, but when we got married my wife started cutting my hair. She's been doing it for more than 20 years now.
It took her a few tries, but she got good at it. Saves money, and I don't have to go wait at a barber.
We use Wahl. It wouldn't do for a pro cutting 20 heads a day, but for homeowner use I think it does fine.
Don't bother with the cordless, not enough ooomph.

I thought about cutting my hair but I'd have to get the box down from the attic I've been keeping it in.
I'm at # 7 without the beard. Wore one for about 20 years, but gone now.
