Remington Shortcut Pro Self-Haircut Trimmer Kit, Waterproof Cordless Electric Razor for Head, Beard, and Body, Curved Blades and 9 Trimmer Lengths, Head Shaver, 5-Minute Quick-Charge, 14-Piece Set

This is an astoundingly good product and one I would whole-heartedly recommend to any other military members who maintain a "high and tight" haircut - but the purchase needs to be accompanied by three other purchases to round out your order and make this Remington what you really need it to be: A time-saver that keeps you looking sharp and saves you a profound amount of money over the course of a calendar year.Purchase #1: Buy a small mirror that has regular reflection on one side and 3x reflection on the other. For military members who will be doing some travelling over the course of your year I advise getting one with a handle that folds for ease of transportation. The mirror is a crucial element to ensuring a solid haircut, allowing you to use it in concert with your bathroom mirror to see all angles.Purchase #2: Some hair gel. Getting your system and dexterity down will take a few weeks/months. In that time you can easily blur mistakes and imperfections with a little stickum.Purchase #3: A haircut. Get your hair exactly how you want it - be critical and exacting, even if you normally aren't too picky in a barber's chair. This will be your last time visiting the barber so get it right. Once you have your hair to its perfectly desired length, your job will be to maintain it right there. It's far easier than you might think (at least for those of us with high and tights and other military cuts).I spend about 30-55 seconds every morning maintaining my haircut. The hair I cut is so miniscule it doesn't require any special hair-catching contraptions. I just wear the t-shirt I wore to bed and once finished I take it off, throw it in the hamper and hop in the shower. The time it takes me every morning is constantly improving. (I would suspect your first few attempts will take significantly longer) It varies however on my level of grogginess or if I feel like I need to trim some places in greater detail. But any way you hack it, it is a breeze.One of the most charming design features of this device is its ergonomics...it is truly easy to handle and you will have a great sense of control from the very first time you use it. I would STRONGLY recommend only ever cutting with your dominant hand however, to ensure an even cut and predictable results. You might feel like it makes sense to switch hands when doing opposite sides of your head but once you get some muscle memory down and have learned how to utilize your mirror, having one hand married to the razor and the other to the mirror will result in faster and more even results.I have been concerned with how my razor will hold up with daily use. It has shown no signs of unusual wear, however. A creature of habit, I make my friday haircut the day I lube it. Two simple drops on each end and I run it for 15 seconds. I remain curious to see how it ages...I am not subjecting it to long periods of cutting, or asking it to chop down huge trees of hair. I've assigned it light duty but it never gets a rest.Will update this review in time, but i feel like even if it only lasts me a year or two it's saved me a ton of money and given me the fresh haircut look every day. (With tip, I was spending about $480 a year on haircuts).I cannot possibly recommend this product enough. It is a truly well-designed and executed razor, made of solid elements designed to last.Buy, apply my tips (add your own) and make it part of your daily routine. You will not be sorry.

I am in my early 50s and for the past years my hair, as expected, has been thinning. Not the good kind of thinning where it starts in the top back part of the head, but rather in the top front, where every time you look in the mirror you just cannot escape reality.About three years ago, I made the decision to go short with my hair. I started out with #2 clippers on the side, and #3 on top. I found myself going to get my hair cut about every three weeks and over time, I realized I had to go every other week. This started adding up financially, so I fired my barber who wanted $20/cut (I live in the DC metro area, so things are a little pricey here) and found a $15/cut barber. I used them for about a year before I realized I had to go to #1 for side and #2 for top and then, you guessed it, I had to go every other week. Factoring in 10 minute drive each way to/from the barber and coupled with the great aniticipation of whether I would just immediately be seated or whether I would get to enjoy 30 minutes of web surfing while I wait, I came to the conclusion that maintaining (what is left of) my hair just was too time intensive. It's not like I will be styling or blow drying my hair ever again. So all in, haircuts were taking too much time from my other duties a/k/a "The Honey-Do List."So I went out and purchased grooming clippers (a different kind, you know, cheap ones to test out because at some point my hair would miraculously re-spawn and I could throw those clippers out) to do my own hair. As expected they worked great, but because they were somewhat narrow it took some time to balden the head. So one night I am hanging out with my friend Todd who has the same, uh hum, gifted hairline and he tells me about this Remington product. It sounded good but I already had a set of clippers but alas my wife was listening and, like most wives, she has a memory that is everlasting. So fast-forward it is Fathers Day 2018 and I open a gift from my kids and it's is these clippers. I opened the package and my kids immediately wanted to see me use them, and so I did. My reaction? WOW!! I LOVE THESE CLIPPERS, so here is my review:* They work great* The curvature speeds up the cut* The unit is very ergonomic and really fits nicely in my hand* It is remarkably quiet, so when clipping around the ears it's not deafening* I love that it is cordless which makes it easy to use* It is priced right, it pays for itself in only 3 to 4 haircuts.But the big thing I like is that it works so well that I have now reclaimed a ton of time from going to the barber so I can do other things.

Works amazing! So far ive used it four times to trim my head just to a 5-o'clock shadow and its already paid for itself. So easy to use i cant believe i didnt buy this years ago i was using a traditional clipper and this is a lot wider and im done shaving my head in a few minutes. Big brand barber shops want $12-15 + tip just for a total head clipper job. The design of this is very easy to use one handed while standing in front of vanity and holding a mirror in other hand. No wires, rechargeable. It says splash proof maybe waterproof but im not immersing it in water i want it to last a long time. In tegards to charging ive used it four times and out of the box still havent required a charge. Has great internal battery life. Good investment. Good quality. Easy to pack on long trips.
