Review of Remington MB30 Corded/Cordless Beard & Moustache Trimmer

Having had a heavy beard for 20 years, I highly endorse this trimmer!

This is the latest of three generations of Remington beard trimmers for me. Its predecessor where good products; they just wore out. This item is true to Remington's past high quality and more so.

Less than a minute beard and mustache trim gives a very even, virtually effortless cut.

Review of Braun 4615 twin control electric razor.

I like the feel of this razor in my hand. It did a decent job on my beard which is quite tough, however, it died in about 3 months and I had to trash it.I don't know if I got a lemon of a battery but I was very dissapointed. I doubt if I will try another one.

Review of Braun 4615 Twin Control Electric Shaver

This product is worthless. It doesn't remove any of the hair; it just goes over it and creates an unsightly redness and painful irritation while leaving all hair in tact. Avoid like the plague.

Review of Remington R-9190 Microflex 800 Rechargeable/Corded Men's Rotary Shaver

I would skip buying this razor or any Remington Razor.It shaves very close, but the shaver will not hold a charge.When I was reviewing other Remington shavers on line there was a common complaint "it doesn't hold a charge".I never had a problem with Braun, but I wanted to try a rotory blade because everyone says they shave closer.

Well I tried another brand and now I will go back to Braun and hope the new ones shave a little closer. Now I am in a really bad situation, because I am in Afghanistan it can't really return it so I just lost $68.00.

What is the lesson, stay with what you know is good, and to me that is Braun.

Please skip this one, it will save you a lot of problems.

Review of Remington MPT-3500 Dual Blade Precision Detail Trimmer

This product didn't work from day one. We sent it back at OUR expense and they returned it saying it worked fine. We tried it again and it still didn't work. We finally threw it away. And we will never do business again with that company.

Review of Triple Touch Electric Shaver Set By Barber King

I was expecting junk when I ordered it. I wanted something that was good for traveling but not expensive in case it was lost or stolen. When I received the order I looked at the case and said it looked good. I went to open the case and a black piece of plastic came off the lock. I am still not sure if it was a lock or not, i figured thats what I paid for. I opened the case and was shocked to see all that was inside. The rotery shaver was light weight. I figure it would not shave well. I was wrong I got a good shave from it. I also believe that it may be a Norelco shaver. I have used the other items and feel that they are real cheap looking(almost looks like a toy). The whole setlooks like it is very light weight, But it works well. in fact it shaved me as well as my Braun shaver and the 2 trimmers worked as well as my Noreclo trimmer. I am not sure how long the set will last but for around $11 for the set who cares. It is well worth the $11.

After writing my reveiw I had to look at a Noreclo trimmer set that I have. After looking at both items side to side. I would have to say that this item is a Norelco under a diferent name. The trimmers worked the same way and the parts looked almost the same only the casing was changed to a cheaper looking item.
After using it I have to say it took a bit of time to shave compaired to my Braun. I feel for traveling it is still good but it is not the best shave I can get.

Review of Braun SE7280 Silk-Epil Xpressive Epilator Body System, Corded

I've been epilating my underarms for about 6 years and just recently I braved it to do my legs. It's not that they hurt more or less, it's just that it takes long and my tolerance period runs out.My first epilator is also Braun and itworks perfectly after many years.I bought the 7280 because I misplaced the old one, so now I use both simultaneously and I finish faster. The 7280 is really cool because you can take off the epilating head to wash. Also, it comes with a shaving head and a light which is very helpful to locate strays. As for tips, for your first time you should wax the area first....you don't want to try epilating old hair, the roots are a lot harder and can even draw blood dots.Start off on the strays that waxing leaves behind, believe me, this little gadget picks up the tiniest hairs so it will have PLENTY to pull. It will hurt but you can take it. Be comitted! As soon as new hair starts to poke, epilate it. Don't give the roots any time to harden. The more often you do it, the better! If you won't epilate often, you are just going to torture yourself, so save your money. My only gripe is that the new model has tweezers which are half plastic and half metal.My old one was all metal and I feel like it pulled more hair. On the other hand, because of the plastic clamps, the 7280 is a tad quieter.

Product Description

Review of ANDIS T-Outliner Trimmer (Model #04710)

I recently received this item and it has worked flawlessly for touching up my line-ups. This trimmer cuts as close as I could possibly ask for and it doesn't require that you press hard at all. It's simple, makes quick work of the job and is very precise.

I'm sure there are many of us that have tried consumer models with little to no success. If you're in the same boat as I was and you're looking for some reliable trimmers that cut very closely, then look no further. Do yourself a favor and pick these up. Delivery was also expedient, which is always a plus.

Review of Wahl 12 Pieces Mini Pro Cord Clipper and Trimmer 9307

I bought this trimmer for the detail trimming on my poodle and it works great!I didn't want to use the big clippers on her face and paws, and the small size of this trimmer makes it easy to work with.It's a little noisy but she tolerates it just fine.The purchase of this trimmer plus the Wahl color pro clipper set was about the same as one trip to the groomers, so it has already paid for itself!

Review of Panasonic ES8163 Shaver (factory refurbished)

I've been using nothing but electric shavers for three decades and have found Panasonic to make the best on the market. Other name brands of shavers would barely work for a year; each new model of Panasonic I have purchased has kept running longer than the previous one, the last one having survived for around three years. (And this despite having been dropped repeatedly on concrete.) I must note though, the last two linear Panasonics I have owned charged through induction: this made it super easy to plop the shaver into its charger and to snatch it out with just one hand. The new linear model no longer charges by induction: you have to carefully set the shaver into the stand to insure proper electrical contact, and it takes two hands to disconnect it from the power supply. Interestingly, the new model has the power adapter on the AC plug. Guess this keeps heat from regenerating to the shaver when charging, to prolong the life of the lithium-ion battery. Time will tell.

To further protect your investment, Panasonic has included a new, tougher leatherette travel pouch. It is contoured to fit perfectly around the shaver but unfortunately does not provide any room for the adapter cord and charging stand. Fortunately though this new model is giving me a lot more shaves per charge, so on short hops I really need not bring the charger along.

As for the shave, this thing is unexcelled. If you look closely at the shaving head in the photo, you will notice that the foil has a gentle curve to the top. This allows the correspondingly curved cutter blades to oscillate in an arc, maintaining an even pressure against the foil. Surprisingly then, although the new linear runs smoother and is slimmer and lighter and than any of its predecessors, it is noticeably louder-- humming with with power. I sport quite the course whisker but this thing cuts through my stubble like a hot knife through butter, giving me the fastest, best shave I ever had. And the new trimmer pops both up and out with an easy flick of a grippy rubber switch-- you gotta just try it yourself to see how nifty this new feature is.

The instruction booklet has a brief section entitled "For wet shaving" but they provide no guidance for shaving dry, so let me stick in some advice of my own here. Dry shaving is probably a better choice for those who still find themselves getting nicks with an electric, but you'll need to apply shaving talc or something like that. This will help raise up your stubble, much as shaving lotion would, without you losing your grip in places where you have to tug at your skin for your whiskers to stand up. Of course, you'll still have to use soap and water to get off the talc residue, so this method is not completely dry.

Wow, this thing shaves so close, I can actually see my face now!

Damn, I'm ugly.

Review of Wahl 3 in 1 Wet/Dry Personal Trimmer

Warning. Before you purchase this product please inform yourself so you don't make the same mistake i did. Check the other reviews on Amazon for Wahl 5560 and see what they say as well. I purchased this product because of the Wahl name. I own their plug-in electric hair groomer and it is powerful and well made. Unfortunately, this nose trimmer is not of the same quality. It is cheaply made foreign junk with the Wahl name stamped on it. The cutter actually did a decent job, for a week or two. Then started having trouble with the little motor, wouldn't turn or cut. I took it apart and the motor looks like a cheap motor from a toy in a happy meal. Waste of money. Caveat emptor. os

Review of Sassoon Hair Trimmer 10pc Set

I needed a haircut pretty badly about a year ago after moving to a new city and so I was at Walmart (yeah, yeah, I know) and bought the cheapest thing they had for $10.This hair clipper is about the shoddiest piece of junk I've ever owned.Immediately after placing this review, I will be unceremoniously dropping this in the trash can.I wouldn't wish this product on anyone.

I followed the directions to the letter, cleaning and oiling after each use.It still caught and got stuck on even the smallest amount of hair.It would take me about an hour to get just the haircut done, having to go over the same spots at least a dozen times.And, after about six months of use, the attachment I primarily used started falling off, so I had to apply significant strength to keep the attachment on while attempting to simultaneously locate the next clump of missed hair.Disaster.I'm not buying another Vidal Sassoon "Professional" product ever again.

Next stop:The trash can.

Review of Wahl Pocket Pro Trimmer

Wahl Pocket Pro TrimmerThis has to be the best thing since sliced bread for keeping up with grooming a toy poodle! I've been looking at getting a small clipper for years and finally broke down and got this. It's fantastic! It's small, light and cordless (runs on AA battery.) The clipper blade has finely spaced teeth making it ideal for fussing around lips, eyes and toes. As the description says, this is not for body clipping... you still have to drag out the monster for that, but for the details it's perfect. This would also be super for anyone who wants to keep their poodle looking neat between trips to the groomer. You have to be a little careful to avoid razorburn even with these fine teeth but nothing like a regular clipper where you can easily cut the skin pretty badly. Best of all, it's so smallyou can tuck it in the bathroom drawer for quick trim ups and take it outside so the hair doesn't get all over your house. For dogs who are impatient with long grooming sessions, pulling this clipper out for five minute sessions over a period of time is a snap. Did I mention the low price? I don't see a downside to this clipper for what it is. The body is regular grade plastic but the blade is very nice, and a snap on cap protects it in the drawer. Yes, it really does work and it really is that cheap....

Compact battery operated trimmer that fits in the palm of your hand.Great for light duty trimming jobs and touch-ups.

Review of Schick Quattro Midnight 4 Blade Razor with Extra Control Grip -1 Ea

I have always liked the Schick band. I stopped using Gillette when they switched to the new style. I tried the Quattro and I have never gone back! Actually I bought a lot of blade replacements just in case they decide to discontinue the razor. The reason i prefer this razor is the angle on the handle. It actually has one! The new Gillette's do not, and it makes me feel as if I am shaves with a straight blade with no protection. On the other hand with the Schick, with the angle in the handle, I can use it with little presure or a lot, up or down. No problems. Great Product!

Review of Veet Comfort Epilating Kit/#79018

MY SITUATION:
i bought this from CVS for 50 bucks...i fell in love with it, but after a while, it broke..
well, i FREAKED out, and tried to exchange it for another one..(even though it was used, they were willing to exchange, EXCEPT i did'nt have my receipt)
So i went on amazon, and found it for 15 dollars...i was VERY skeptical at first, and thought it was some kinda of scam, but, i went ahead and bought it anyways deciding that if it WAS A scam, then i would NEVER buy anything cheap ever again online.

GOOD DECISION MADE:
So, i bought it and was VERY happy to see that it IS indeed in its original packaging, everything new, everything worked. It comes with Everything as said in the description

i would use my epilator over a shaver ANYDAY because with an epilator, the hair grows back soft, while on the other hand, using a shaver would cause it to grow back spiky (and who wants that?!)

OUCHNESS:
Yes, using the Epilator may hurt (ESPECIALLY in the underarm area) but hey, beauty hurts right? After a while though, you get used to it

HELPFUL HINTS:
When using an epilator, i suggest you NOT to rub on baby oil, lotion, shaving cream, etc.
(tends to get caught in the epilator, and throughout time, it would dry in there, and...JUST DON'T DO IT) :)
~Use the Comfort spray provided on sensitive spots (Ex: underarm)
~Clean Your Epilator after each usage with the brush provided
~ Unplug your Epilator after each usage!
~ Do not get ur Epilator wet
~ If your epilator does not turn on for whatever reason, keep in mind that the plug may be at fault too (that's what happened to me..so UNPLUG your epilator!)

HOPE THIS HELPED! :D

Review of Remington R9500 R-9500 Self-Cleaning Smart Shaver (factory refurbished)

if your like me and have a thick beard.Men with peach fuzz faces can use almost any electric razor but if you have the type of beard I have, normal electric razors just don't cut it.The motor spins about twice as fast as a similar Norelco model and the titanium heads mow down hair with the greatest of ease.Shaving with this razor is sooooo easy on your face, you'll love this razor the first time you use it.
The Smart system is another thing that I love about this razor.It cleans, charges and lubricates the razor all at the same time.No hassle and no worries, one full charge on the battery will last you about ten days.
The adapter is dual voltage, which is important if you're a traveler or if you're like me, in the military and never knowing what country I'll be in next.
It's a little bit expensive, but it's worth it.If you're going to spend a hundred dollars, may as well spend a few more and get the best there is.This would make a great gift for almost any special occasion.
