Well my old man bought this a while back and well he didn't had the chance to use it.
I had a Babyliss trimmer for ages that dated back to my University years that operates on AA batteries and wanted something that can be charged off the wall. Also the best bit is the little retractable mini trimmer to shape the sideburns and the goatee. Brilliant….
I like the look of it. It is actually different from the one on the picture as is gold with grey rubber grips with a grey dial. I do actually prefer it to the titanium grey with a blue dial.
USAGE
The razors are sharp and do a good job. I mean this, my stubble is like barbed wire and a lot of electric shavers have tangled in the past and made me jump with pain while still half awake in the morning but this baby is like a lightsaber. Neat, elegant and goes through anything.
I like the function of the control wheel that gives more control on the length of the cut as well. I mean the Babyliss I had could do that as well put manually sliding the comb over the cutting mechanism but this is much neater and I like the feel of the rubber wheel and the way it gives control over the unit.
Another jewel for this product is the quality of the blades. There don't wear down, cut through anything as said before but if you remove the comb it to style your beard doesn't scratch the skin which the Babyliss used to irritate me about.
I also like the grip, the rubber is top quality and it is not likely to slip off my hand while just out the shower in the morning.
BATTERIES
In once sentence: It lasts for ages. If you fully charge (about 6 hours) you will actually forget when you last charged it. It will take ages and ages for it to run out.
It has an external charger that is a bit on the heavy side and a bit cumbersome when going on holiday. (I wouldn't travel without this) It also comes with a handy pouch but that is a bit on the cheap side. It is made of nylon and it ca hardly fit both the charger and the unit itself.
