Review (5/5): The Trimmer From Up Above
Wow! I should have bought one of these long ago! It's totally worth every penny after you use it a few times. There is NO need to get the next model up if all you want is a good shave. The next model up (the T990 I believe) charges in 1 hour vs. 10 hours for this model, and it has an LCD screen to show battery life. For as often as you'll use this trimmer, plugging it in overnight while you're sleeping is not that big a deal. This model doesn't have an LCD screen to tell you battery life, but do you really wanna pay more than double just for a quicker charge and a display of battery life? Not me!
The guard on the trimmer is smooth and glides easily over your skin. The T860 trims effortlessly - never snagging, pulling, or getting clogged with your hair. Battery life stays consistent until the last minute before it's completely drained. To eliminate hair's static attration to the rubber dial used to change cutting length, spray it with a quick spritz of Static Guard. Otherwise, just rinse it off when you're done; the hair rinses off easily with water.
This trimmer is made to trim facial hair, but it works GREAT on the legs, chest, stomach, and any other areas you'd imagine shaving! The 9 different settings insure that you keep the hair on, but under control...nice and tidy appearence. We all know how hairy we guys can get! I like to use a #3 on my legs, but you'd want to start out with a 6, then go DOWN ONE LEVEL AT A TIME to ensure that you don't cut TOO MUCH OFF.
DO NOT USE THE GUARDLESS TRIMMER WITHOUT READING THE DIRECTIONS! I nipped my skin (drawing a little blood) several times. Read directions and see illustrations for proper use without the guard. In any case, I do not recommend using it guardless in sensitive areas as it can be painful.
Anyway, if you're wondering whether you should buy this trimmer, DO. You will NOT regret the INVESTMENT! It saves so much time!
