Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a great "trimmer." I've had it for a little over a year now and the thing is still running fine for a $16 purchase. I like to keep my bush clean and tidy, but not completely bald, and this is perfect for that. I used to use scissors to quickly trim off the excess, but one time I had a slip-up, and the next day I was buying this. I always use it on the shortest setting with the gaurd on, and I have never nicked myself. I have tried it without the gaurd, which gets a much closer shave (not razor close, but shorter) but I found that the stuble left over was too prickly for my taste and I prefer the short but flat laying length from useing the gaurd. TIPS: Only use it on dry hair, or else the head gets cloged with the trimmed hairs. I like to use it right before I get in the shower. Also, using it on dry hairs lets you easly remove the gaurd and brush off the head so you dont have to get it wet to clean it. I wash the gaurd, brush the head, and then spray it with some rubbing alchohol after each use.
