Review (5/5): Pleasant surprise!
This is my forth clipper in about 10 years. Each time I went back to manual devices. The one I bought from Brookstone had a very large nose hair trimmer -- nostrils must be ¾" diameter to use it. It pulled rather than cut half the hair I aimed it at! The one from a Walgreens also pulled hair and made so much noise I needed ear plugs which made it hard to trim them. It also pull hairs. The one from Sharper Image catalog pulled hairs, was bulky cheap plastic, dull and quite expensive. This Norelco is small, quiet, cheap, and very sharp. I trim my ears and nose by the sound of it clipping the hair, then look in the mirror. Use the mustashe & beard trimmer with care - it is very sharp. The rack to put every thing on is "el cheapo"...it really needed a travel bag. I found a leather one at the dollar store. All the junk I bought before had nice cases. This time I'll settle for the really good equipment.
