Review on πŸ§” Efficient Old Spice Beard & Head Trimmer: Braun-Powered, Red/Black by Julia Stringer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Better than Norelco product

This is a replacement for a used, similar Norelco beard trimmer. I rate this trimmer from Old Spice as superior to the Norelco product, at least for now. I'm giving it a 4 because the shorter beard length lacks precision. For example, the Norelco products I owned allowed me to select based on the "number of days" parameter. In contrast, the Old Spice product settings are listed in millimeters, starting at "1", then going up in 2 millimeter increments: 3, 5, 7, etc. I think I liked the "3" setting at Norelco, but cannot achieve the same accuracy with the Old Spice product. I did a lot of research before buying this beard trimmer because I don't like other brands that have half a dozen adapters taking up drawer space. These two appear to be the only brands that allow the user to turn the dial to adjust the length. However, my warranty experience with Norelco was far from satisfactory. Both the original unit and the one replaced under warranty had the same problem: the blade suddenly stopped and pinched my beard. Norelco seemed totally uninterested in fixing the design flaw and refused to send me a second replacement product.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • So far so good
