compact quiet and works well [SEP] i selected this little hair remover shaver for my wife to replace a trimmer she had simply worn out over time this trimmer is a bit different than many of the others i have seen of its type which look more like mascara applicators after one use my wife is very pleased with itthis trimmer is similar to a rotary shaver that men use to shave except one head instead of three and is similar in size to a glue stick it runs on a single aa battery and is relatively quietafter figuring out how to use it my wife trimmed a single hair and was pleased and then did something that really surprised me she used it to dry shave her whole leg it did a surprisingly good job and actually left her leg smooth but it took a really long time to finish this is absolutely not the job for which this little trimmer was designed but apparently it will work in a pinchcompared to other trimmers she has used this one is very gentle and when it s turned on it doesn t sound like it s laboring like some of the others dooverall this is a decent little hair trimmer designed for facial hair it s small quiet and works well
