Review (2/5): Great Until the Setting Slips!
I scoured the net looking for the perfect beard trimmer to trim my beard that I brough back from Iraq. I didn't want to look like a terrorist, so I needed a trimmer to keep my beard looking civilized. I read the reviews here and was prepared for a somewhat weak vacuum- even on turbo. No big deal- I wanted results, and the vacuum was just a perk anyway. It caught maybe half the hair on turbo, so whoopie.
Well, I should have paid more attention to the negative reviews! I was careful not to hold the trimmer by the click wheel to avoid accidentally going down a setting... I did that once and clicked from a 5 to a 4. I liked the 4 better anyway, so stuck with that. I happily trimmed to a 4 once a week (sometimes twice to clean it up) for the last couple months and it worked well, until just a couple of days ago when the setting slipped all the way down to 1 when I was in the middle of shaving! I went from a nice beard to the 5 o-clock shadow look! I AM FURIOUS!
There needs to be some sort of setting lock that prevents it from just slipping and ruining your beard! How hard would that be? Just build the dial with a notch you can slide a bar into in order to lock it!
Until they build this with a locking device, avoid it, or you could lose your hard-earned beard- just like I did!
