Questions & Answers

Is it safe to use on my bear to shave or trim it?

Kodiak bears are okay, black bears aren't, and grizzly bears can go either way.

Is it possible to shave your head completely bald?

Yes - Your hair will be cut to a length of 000 to 0000, as barbers refer to it. If you want a more precise cut, you'll need to use a razor or shaver.

Is it easy to cut yourself if you have thick facial hair and use this as a daily shave on your neck? I'm currently using a wahl peanut and haven't had any problems with it. ?

I don't shave with it every day, but I do have coarse and curly facial hair (being a black dude), and it went through the hair on my neck without snagging or pulling right out of the box. It isn't necessary to have a zero gap for this.

Is it safe to use with 220 volts?

This Wahl product complies with US electrical standards, which means it can run on 120V and 60 Hz.

Andis must improve its performance
5/5

Zero Gapped right out of the box, feels great in your hand, and is very versatile and light. Overall, this trimmer is a great value. I've been an Andis T-shirt wearer for a long time. For years, I've been a liner guy, but now that I've tried this beauty, I'm no longer. Andis needs to step it up a notch! I strongly suggest it.

Out of the box, it's a nice trimmer with a soft sound and a solid hit
5/5

This was something I wasn't planning on getting, but I'm glad I did. First and foremost, these do not appear to be andis. I cut my own hair to save money and have done so for the past four years. I decided to give these a try, and my first impression was that they didn't hit hard, but I was pleasantly surprised when I began to edging up. These hit hard right out of the box, and I can't wait to see how they'll change once I modify them. These are the primary trimmers that I recommend. I only bought these because my andis were starting to fail after four years. I'm not sure I'll buy another of those, but these are nice as well, and I'm glad I'm adding them to my collection.

The corded version is superior
3/5

I really wanted to like these because I've been using regular corded detailers for years and they're hands down my favorite trimmers. These look great, feel great in your hand, are very sturdy and have a good weight to them, and even the dock is great quality, but they just don't give me as close of a shave as my regular detailers, which is a little disappointing considering they're double the price of my corded ones.

Great! These are fantastic! Close shave, long battery life; I cut a lot of hair a day, and these are fantastic

And they last a long time before they need to be recharged.
