Scares the cat, but Over all, pretty impressed
I am a firm believer in facial hair, but often try to avoid that shaggy look.  The cat mistakes my face and starts nuzzling a little too enthusiastically.<br /><br />I have trimmed with scissors, rasors, the old cip on guard trimmers and the grandfather of this trimmer which just recently died after 7 years of service (not bad Norelco!).  Like its grandfather, the click adjustable guard is the single best reason to buy one of these trimmers.<br /><br />It does struggle a little bit with longer bushy hairs (as most do), but works like a champ when keeping previously trimmed ones in check.  Clean up is fairly easy, plus this one looks really cool.<br /><br />The only thing I am not inlove with is, and that it has a super rechargeable battery which will have to be removed one day and recycled appropriately.  Replacement batteries and recycling can be a challenge, and I'd almost rather just have a corded mode.  Otherwise I totally love it.<br /><br />The vacuum and turbo vacuum featured on this model are an interesting new rendition, and they do a fair job capturing most (not all) of the shavings.  Admittedly though I have only used the turbo vacuum on my person as I cant imagine a situation when you'd want less suckage... except to make this more stealthy when you have a few beers and decide its time to shave the cat... having done so, the cat is now afeard of both the trimmer and any other vacuum noises.  Even a long drag though a straw now makes Mitsy Boots nervous.  My sink drain and my wife are quite grateful with the vacuum, the cat not so much.
