Will it trim the federal budget?
Intro:
I've been in need of a new "personal trimmer" for awhile, the last one was dubious at the very start, but somehow I made it work for quite a few years. (Unfortunately, limited to just nose hair because the attachments did more pulling than cutting.) But, as I've learned a thing or two over the years, I found the Wahl Senior to replace my previous beard trimmer – and my life changed right before my very eyes (literally, in front of the mirror). So, I thought I would see what Wahl had to offer on the personal trimmer front. Some of the reviewers here (on this very page!) helped me make my decision – people with realistic expectations, long-time users and "just a little patience".
What It Will Do (aka The Deal):
I have had the Wahl Micro Groomsman Personal Trimmer for about three weeks – and I love what it can do – and has done – for me.
• First, let's be honest, it costs less than $10. Skip one of those ungodly Blue Moon's at the bar this weekend and call it even. (Skip Blue Moon for the rest of your life and thank me later.)
• It's light (easy to hold), attractive (that Wahl gray) and has a cover for the head (to ensure cleanliness)
• Speaking of heads, it has three. I have used the "detail trimmer" the most, but the "ear/nose trimmer" and the "2 position guide comb" both performed suitably in my use.
• The motor puts out more than enough power for my needs and only requires one AAA battery.
What It Will Not Do:
• Cure cancer
• Replace your chainsaw
• Trim the federal budget
• Trim your waistline after a self-indulgent holiday season
For the record, it will also not do the following: come with a sensible, intelligible manual for setup, cleaning, etc. The manual I received, in fact, referred to two of the attachments by the same name at different places on the page. Here's where your common sense (or phoning a friend) comes in handy.
Conclusion:
The Wahl Micro Groomsman Personal Trimmer more than does the job for me. It trims my excess hair (specifically, nose & ear hair) effortlessly, it's easy to hold and maneuver – and it's super cheap.
