I really like it., 5 July 2015

A great all round trimmer and shaver, that is perfect for traveling with.

It must either depend on your beard type, or hand movement, but (unlike quite a few reviewers) I've found this to be a fantastic shaver and trimmer. My facial hair is reasonably thick and I've had no problems getting a decent and quick shave from this and (at least on my face) it outperforms more expensive shavers.

The main shaver (featuring dual-foils with a micro trimmer lying between them) cuts down growth on the sides of my cheeks pretty much instantly. True, for the more awkward neck hairs I do have to shave it down a bit, before tidying the stray hairs down with the trimmer and giving it a final shave to get it clean. As I've yet to find a shaver that can deal with these hairs, though, this is pretty much expected and the fact this comes with a good quality grooming and detail trimmer built-in, means it's a real time and space saver.

The reversible trimming attachment is...

Review covers my 51yo hubby-with-goatee's experience and my 22yo son-with-fashionable-beard's experience. Disappointed both., 7 Jun. 2015

We get through quite a lot of trimmers as my hubby's greying goatee grows not only quickly, but outwards, looking rather tatty and feeling rather prickly, and my son's one of these guys who likes to look good, so needs a trim once a week to keep his fashionable beard/long stubble perfect.

Hubby found that with the guard on (which clips on easily, like with a hair trimmer, but doesn't come off easily, as instead of pulling it off, you need to pop your thumb at the rear and use a combination of pushing whilst sliding upwards) his stubborn beard strands didn't even make it into the grooves of the guard and so it didn't even comb through his beard, let alone trim it. He then removed the guard to trim his sideburns, which admittedly was easier than when trying to do this with a razor that's especially designed for the purpose. Overall, for the time and faffing with this trimmer and also another, in order to complete his simple, normally 5-minute spruce-up, he considered this...

Manufacturing defect.....twice!, 11 May 2015

I bought this shaver in November 2014. I have used electric foil shavers for many years, and this looked a good buy. However, within 2 months, a hole appeared in the foil. Amazon were very good and sent me a replacement and I returned the damaged one. I know how to use a shaver, and know that the foil is delicate, and so was confident that this must be a fault in manufacture, and I was sure it was not misuse. However, after two months, again, today the replacement has a hole in the foil, in exactly the same place as last time! There must be a problem with this shaver, as the cutter must be touching the foil and wearing a hole through. I guess that I will just have to buy another make......Amazon, please note!
