" ... This is a pretty good hair clipper. ... I have not had any issues with the clipper catching any of my hair or missing any spots. ... "
" ... Buy this Remington haircut kit, so easy to use, it gives a great hair cut. ... "
" ... Like many people I got these due to the pandemic, as my hair was well past needing a cut when they shut down all barbershops and salons in my area. ... I'd been getting only buzz cuts for nearly 20 years now and after looking at several trimmers decided to get these because they were reasonably priced, cordless and claimed to be intended for self-use. ... I figure that another couple of cuts and it will have paid for itself. ... But, used properly, and if your cut isn't too fancy, I think you'll be happy with the results. ... "
" ... Will never be able to grow it back since the look between trim and full hair makes me look like a Monchichi doll. ... Have used regular hair trimmers for years to do the job. ... "
