This trimmer works just like my previous one did. It has a main beard hair adjustable length trimming feature, an supports between 1 and 20 mm in length. There are two combs, one for 1-10mm, the other for 11-20mm. The razor supports being submerged in water. It also has a special trimmer extension for fine adjustments, which is the main reason I bought it. I like this feature the best for fine trimming of my moustache, and sometimes for nose hair. The quality is very good, as I would expect with a Japanese product, and it feels sturdy and reliable. It charges with an included cable that plugs into the base. The only improvement would be for a wall charger to be added (that holds the razor in place on the wall, rather than having to attach a cable). Read more
This product has been wonderful. It is of very good quality and has been with me for many years. The battery lasts two or three uses and it has not rusted or been damaged when I have wet it. It is worth noting that I have wet it a little, washed the blades and blown the internal part where the little motor goes and absolutely nothing has happened. They are still in very good condition. Este producto ha sido maravilloso. Es de muy buena calidad y me ha acompañado por muchos años; dura la batería dos o tres usos y no se me ha oxidado ni se me ha dañado cuando lo he mojado. Cabe destacar que lo he mojado poco. He lavado las cuchillas y he soplado la parte interna donde va el motorcito y no ha pasado absolutamente nada, siguen muy buenas condiciones. Read more
First of all, this is a completely unbiased review as I paid for this item, unlike most of the Vine reviews that you see posted. I was recently in the market for a new beard trimmer. I had grown tired of the one I was using (Braun Cruzer) and it seemed like it wasn't as powerful as it used to be. It also felt like it wasn't holding its charge as well and as a result, starting to pull my beard while trimming. So I set off to do some research to find a replacement... I probably looked for a couple of weeks before finally settling on the Panasonic ER-GB80-S. My biggest drawback was the price. I had a very hard time paying $100 for something I was going to use mostly once a week. Not to mention, it was also over $40 more than the hair clipper that I purchased with it. With that being said, I don't mind paying a little bit extra for a high quality product. I know it says that it can be used to hair but I prefer to have a dedicated clipper for that. Initially I was skeptical because most of the reviewers had were a part of the Vine program. But, they're SUPPOSED to give a fair and honest review, right? So I eventually caved and purchased it because I wasn't thrilled by my other options. I was impressed that it had 39 different settings and could be rinsed under the faucet for quick and easy cleaning. When I received it in the mail, I honestly couldn't wait to use it. I do most of my shaving on Friday night/Saturday morning (because of my profession, I don't have to shave as frequently as others might). So Friday finally arrived and it was time to put it to a test. I noticed a huge difference immediately! Trimming my beard to stubble was enjoyable again! My hair wasn't pulled once and the motor never lost an ounce of power. I tried a few of the different settings before going to the shortest one. The dial turned smoothly and clicked at each individual setting. With so many options, it would be hard to find one that you didn't like! The precision trimmer worked flawlessly also. I mostly use that to trim around my mustache area. Cleaning and oiling it was a breeze. I ran it under water to remove all the hair and haven't seen any side effects from doing so. As with any product that has moving parts, maintenance is key. You should always use the provided oil before and after each use to keep it in top shape! So why only 4 stars? Because there's not an option to give it 4.5 stars and the price. While I'm extremely happy that I purchased it (it provides me with the most comfortable shaving experience I've ever had), I feel that it could have been offered for a lesser price than what I paid for it ($100). The travel pouch also left a lot to be desired. I don't expect it to last very long but I also don't plan on using it that often either. With all that being said, if you use it for everything that it offers, maybe it's worth $100 to you. Either way, you won't be sorry that you bought it! Read more
The media could not be loaded. I've been using this beard trimmer for years, and it still works perfectly. One great, and less-than-obvious, feature is how the blade unit pops off for cleaning, lubrication, or replacement. Check out the video to see just how easy it is. Read more
Over the years I've had some horrible luck with beard trimmers. Having a coarse beard myself, many trimmers don't hold up, have 15 attachments to fumble with, and don't clean up easily. And on top of it all, they don't have enough length adjustments. I out-right abuse this trimmer. I've been using it for 4 months, used the adjustable length to grow my beard evenly (every week click it up one notch to go longer), rinse it off, apply zero oil to the blade (other than the first time), and at the end the maximum length is a solid beard and evenly trimmed. I also found it easy to keep the same attachment and shorten the length for my moustache. I'm not sure I've charged it more than twice - so it holds a charge. If I had to manufacture something to not like about this, it does not do trimming well (squaring off the corners of my beard, for example). I have an actual razor for that and I don't usually keep a beard in the summer. Like most non-razor trimmers, when I extend the trimmer it doesn't have enough speed, and pulls at hair a little. It took me all of 5 seconds to figure that out, and I went back to my high speed razor to do that maintenance. The trimmer may be OK for fine hair, and I wouldn't want anything compromised to make it a better trimmer. So 5 stars to keep it exactly as it is. Read more
