Review (4/5): Excellent Trimmer !
I was apprehensive about buying an expensive trimmer, and wondered if a less expensive one would do the job of just keeping the goatee that I wanted to just the right length - just a stubble length. I did buy some cheaper models, but they turned out woefully bad, so much that I dropped the idea of keeping a goatee and just went with clean shaven for a while. But then I read all the great things that I read on this and decided to go for it. BEST PURCHASE !! I can have just the right length of trim that I want, in fact, I found that the shortest trim is a bit too short, it just gives the 5 o'clock shadow - so if thats the look you want, you wont be disappointed !! I use the # 2 length setting, and thats just right for a stubble - just enough to feel, but too short to actually grip any of the hairs.
I love the vaccuum feature, and although its not perfect vaccuum, you have to shave over the sink if you dont want stray bits of hair on the floor.. few hairs do escape the vaccuum, but use the trimmer for a few weeks and then check out the chamber, you would be surprised how much has been caught in. the fine trimmer attachment is ok, not so great to do the fine lines of a goatee, I got to do it quite a few times, but then I suspect nothing will ever come close to the perfection a blade can offer. This is as good as it gets !
Go for it, you wont be disappointed.
