I only bought this trimmer a few days ago.I am a female and fortunately don't have excessive facial hair but bought this for my son as his hair has been growing very quickly and taking him to the hairdressers is proving quite expensive.

This trimmer was reasonably priced (online) and looked rather lovely too-(yes I am a little shallow) and so I purchased it.

I have never tried my hand at hairdressing.Maybe one occasion as a child when I ended up with a rather funny looking fringe but other than that I haven't.This was my first time experimenting on someone-and not just anyone,my son.I was really hoping the outcome would be good as my mum said she later wanted me to trim my brothers hair too... yikes!

When the trimmer first arrived I was surprised at just how heavy it was.Some may be put off by this but for me this gives the feel of a more expensive,good quality product.

It came with many attachments but I really didn't have a clue(despite an easy to read guide) which one to use and so settled for one of them that fell inbetween,I believe it was a 12 mm clip.

I was surprised at just how easily it glided across his hair-word of advice-don't use in opposite side of hair growth,poor little man had a cry, as it was painful.Just glide the trimmer in the direct of growth and the hair will blend out perfectly with no pulling.

I used the pen trimmer (a seperate thin trimmer) to remove excess hair around his neck and beside his ears which worked a treat and is an excellent bonus to the trimmer.

It took me just over 25 minutes to do the whole job which was fantastic.Later on I used a smaller attachment for my brother as his hair was shorter.Although his hair was thicker the trimmer did the trick effortlessly.

I'm pleasantly surprised by this product.Not only the price but the ease of use and the convenience.Although it hasn't been used for facial trimming I can only assume this will work just as good.

Would make a great birthday or christmas gift too.Highly recommended!
