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

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.

I used this for the first time yesterday. It did a beautiful job. Effortlessly cut thru my wiry hair. Used the 3.0 comb. I wish there was a 3.5 comb, but it's ok. Great product.

UPDATE #2 - So I reduced my 4 star to 3. The build quality is sketchy. I've been on my replaced unit since my first one died on me for around shockingly, another 8 months. This time? The rubber edging on the unit has begun to peel from where the blade sits. That is really crazy considering I baby the damn unit. It has literally peeled out of nowhere... I'm not sure how annoying it will become but this brings back to Remington... They are like the German car maker of hair trimmers. They look nice and might feel good, but the lack of build quality begins to show shortly. It's really a bummer because the actual functionality of the unit and design is still awesome. Just don't be shocked if it falls apart or dies on you rather quickly. Again, we are talking months from original purchase. I had a WAHL that my sister bought me when I was 15. I threw it out after purchasing this. That was 16 years later... UPDATE - So I reduced my 5 star to 4 after my unit ended up dying on me about 8 months after the purchase. I reached out to Remington however who had me provide them with some etched model information and they sent me back a complete replacement unit as though I had purchased it again. While I thought that was great customer service to do that, it just made me slightly hesitant on their build quality which was something I always questioned in the past from previous Remington products I owned. I mean cmon here, I owned a Walh hair trimmer for 15 years and barely oiled it up and it always got the job done. I own this product for 8 months and it goes dead... you can't even compare build quality. With that said, I'm hoping they figured out what caused earlier models of this unit to potentially go dead and the unit that they sent me has the fix because I do love this machine but again, the build quality is questionable. Original review - So I didn't want to immediately write a review on this a week after I bought it feeling that I was just still caught up in the hype. Here I am a little more than 2 months of owning it. Let me say, BELIEVE THE HYPE. I'm on the internet, so I can say this without feeling the eyes balls shifting on me. I'm a hairy dude. Born hairy, and I hate it. I try to always keep the hair in check. I'm not just hairy in the common spots, I'm hairy like, if I crash land on an island and get found 10 years later, I might be shot or caged thinking I'm big foot or something. With that said, I was previously rocking the Walh Peanut, and it's sufficed over the many years (on my second), that I've used it to get the closest trim possible for my head and various other areas. The problem with that was the length of the blade is rather short. Obviously designed more so for clean cuts on the hair, face. Not ideal for large areas. In comes Remington HC4250. Holy cow. I used to own some Remington trimmers in the past and thought they were weak, at least compared to Walh. This one changes the game boys (and gals?). The length of the blade is probably the largest of any trimmer I've used and in comparison to the peanut, it's 2 peanut blades put side by side, plus some length to give you an idea. It makes the chest trimming a BREEZE. I'm talking about, what normally would be like a 15 minute affair between chest and legs, down to 5 minutes or less. It's effortless to grab and cut all the hair, especially because of it's angled blade. It's almost like a mouth consuming all your hair. While I also don't prefer cordless as I feel they aren't as strong as corded, I do appreciate that you can use this one both ways and have used it to the cordless route on a trip once. It was very convenient, however I'm back to corded whenever using it at home. It does come with multiple attachments, however as I'm always going for as close as possible, I've only used the blade. Has been flawless thus far. I keep it clean after every use and oil it every other use. If I had 1 complaint, it's that, my unit did not come with the travel case, but rather in a straight up box that looked like it was refurbed. I have no idea how that happened as I bought it direct through Amazon via Remington, but I never received my travel case with it. Not sure what went wrong but didn't really look into that until like a month later and then thought it was too late to care. Regardless, a travel case doesn't make the product and reviewing the product itself, I have to say over 2 months later, this is the greatest trimmer I've ever used and know that I WILL buy another one in the future should anything happen to this unit. UPDATE #3 - I've bumped it back to 4 stars. You might noticed I I purchased this in 2017. Yeah, I had a replacement unit within that same year. That replacement unit, despite the rubber falling off still works to this day and holds a charge as good as the day I got it. To me, that is some kind of technological battery miracle. I've had plenty of other rechargeable trimmers/devices where the battery weakens over time. The fact that this is on its 8th year and still holds a charge as good as the day I got it blows my mind. Not to mention, it just works, period. If it wasn't for the rubber peeling off and my initial experience where the unit died on me, this would easily be a 5 star device.

I bought this because I’ve had the same 1/4 inch hair cut since 1991 when I joined the state patrol. And still have the same cut afterwards. It’s a great price to pay to save yourself the time and money of going to the barber. You can easily maintain your preferred hair style yourself with this device. It comes with more hair length sizes that you’ll ever need but always nice to have if you wanna buzz the kids hair. It cuts and trims very very well, you can’t even feel it cutting your hair it’s so sharp. It’s nice and wide cut saves time and it has a perfect weight to it that fits in your hand nicely. It feels very durable and it’s way quieter then you’re standard trimmers are. I wasn’t sure if I wanted this one or the con air one that’s round but I’m glad I chose this one after all. It seems to charge pretty quick. If I’m going to cut my hair I usually plug it in in the morning that way when I’m ready to use it in the afternoon it’s ready to go so I’m not sure how long it actually takes from dead to full charge. And if you’re in a rush you can just use it with the cord plugged in if you wish.

Muy practica, de muy buena calidad. La recomiendo.

Produto excelente para cortar ou raspar o cabelo sozinho , entrega chegou perfeitamente no Brasil , recomendo.

It is a brilliant piece of equipment but the charger that comes with it is a 110V adapter. So please do check before you plug into your wall socket !!! I had to use a converter to us it here in Singapore.

Loved the look, the portability and the functionality of the clipper. For Indians please buy a step down transformer ( for charging the clipper) to use it in India. Singway from AliExpress is the one I am using...works well with it. It is light weight and you don't even need to use the guards or attachments...you can just use the clipper especially if your hair is short.

Great trimmer that does the job super quick. Literally takes a couple minutes to cut my hair super short and does a great job. Wish I would have bought these long ago.
