Review on πŸ’‡ Wahl Professional 5-Star G-Whiz High Precision Cordless Hair Trimmer #8986 – Perfect Portable Trimmer for Barbers and Stylists by Christine Bergseth

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Small but maintains a punch!

Over the years I've easily placed over 100 orders on amazon.com. I received my order for this little beauty a few days ago and felt compelled to write my FIRST review. This thing is bloody amazing! I don't think I'll ever shave again. And I'm a young man, but with old-school tastes; Razors, safety razors, badger brushes every nine yards. As much as I love the classic shave (I keep my beard straight, close to my face), it takes a lot of time and preparation, which isn't practical with a busy schedule. This fine detail trimmer has a T-blade, which I've always loved, and it can be gapless. However, this thing cuts like a razor right out of the box and is worth a shave! He is also very small; fits in the palm of your hand. It's powered by a single AA battery and to be honest it doesn't sound or feel strong, but somehow the results speak for themselves. This thing trimmed my neck and cheeks perfectly and never cut or pulled a single hair. From the start it seemed like I was shaving with a straight edge, the lines were so clear. I highly recommend this product. It costs about $20 and comes with a lanyard (which I thought was silly at first, but it's so small and light that I feel like it could easily fall off the sink and break, so I'd just rule it out use caution). Buy a battery pack and enjoy hairdressing style in the privacy and comfort of your own bathroom. I will still buy a 5 star (corded) shaver in the future, but it's a great first step towards "dry shaving". Val definitely impressed me and he will definitely make his way into my travel backpack. A fresh face on the road is worth its weight in gold for me.

Pros
  • Clippers and Accessories
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
