Wahl has a nice trimmer/shaver package that won't break the bank and has plenty to offer. The package comes with the Wahl Edge Pro trimmer, full-size comb, mustache/beard comb/guard, scissors, 2 bristle cleaning brushes, oil, 12 guards, travel pouch, and instruction manual. Wahl offers a 5-year limited warranty for the trimmer.
PROS:
-----------
* Very lengthy cord at approximately 8.5 feet. It has some good reach.
* Nice look. Has the carbon fiber look on top with crimson red trim
* Extremely sharp blades.
* It does a nice job of cutting facial hair down to a very short length with complete ease. The cutting blades cut though coarse facial hair as though it wasn't there. The motor is for real. I used on my facial hair with no guards - see one of my pictures for cut closeness.
* This Pro unit has plenty of cutting guards to pick from along with 2 cleaning brushes. The accessories are many, so you should have whatever option you need here available.
* The travel pouch is a nice touch and it holds everything in the package. It will be completely full, especially after all of the 8.5 feet of power cable is wound up and inserted. The elastic band holds it all together nicely. If traveling, you can take only the guards and accessories you want, and you should have a bit more room in the pouch for storage.
CONS:
-----------
* I have had a couple of trimmers in the past, but these are quite a bit sharper on the skin, and perhaps the design is supposed to be that way. If trimming without a guard, it doesn't appear it will cut you, but feels like it might because the end is so thin and sharp. This might cause some discomfort and unease if the skin you are shaving is baby-like or soft/smooth. Someone with sensitive skin may need a guard.
* I'm unsure of a better place for the power switch (the unit is so small and compact) but a couple of times I have accidentally turned off the unit due to the location of the power switch. I like the look and simplicity of the switch, but the location might could be improved or a better way to keep from turning off.
* Though the cutting guards are plenty, there are rather flimsy but are made of a more rubbery material than plastic, so that should extend the life of each guard. They just feel cheap - but at this price point, I would say that is acceptable.
* As sharp as these blades are, even when the unit is off, a protective cap would be nice to have.
OTHER OBSERVATIONS:
-----------------------
* I only used for my facial hair, and for testing purposes, I used the guards to cut some leg hair. I did not use on my head, but I'm certain it would cut with ease based on how it cut everything else. The guards worked fine and clipped on/off with no issues.
CONCLUSION:
=====================
Overall, this little trimmer/shaver by Wahl packs a huge punch with strong motor and sharp blades. I have switched (for now) to this trimmer over my cordless one because of the ease in which it cuts through my coarse facial hair to a very short length. Just be wary of softer/sensitive skin users. At this price point, for what you get in accessories and travel pouch, this is a great product, and you never have to worry about the battery dying since it's corded. There are pros and cons for corded vs cordless, but for a corded trimmer, this would be a great pick for sure.
