Since the Pandemic started I have NOT had a 'Store-Bought' haircut since March, 2020. My medical condition and treatments suppress my immune system. Therefore, I am easily prone to infections, which can be dangerous for me. My Oncologist has advised me to avoid any gatherings of people and no Barber, or other personal services, like going to the Gym. I eventually learned through my trial and error, 'School of Bad Haircuts' to finally get a decent trim using just a pair of sharp scissors and a comb. It took a little patience and a helpful wife.
I jumped at the chance to review the Bevel Cordless Professional Grade Hair and Beard Trimmer in exchange for the product. I envisioned this Bevel Hair Trimmer would actually replace my scissors and streamline this whole haircut process. It Did. WooHoo! I have learned to trim my hair with my comb cutting only a half-inch of hair at the most at a time. I got so comfortable with my hair trimming I did it pretty much every 2 to 3 weeks. I found that for me cutting a little hair at a time resulted in a much more uniform look. My wife agreed so I know it's RIGHT. YooHoo!
When I first received this Bevel Hair Trimmer I was taken back by how simple this unit was, and, there were NO complicated instructions or cutting hair tips. After all this is a Professional Grade, Barber Hair Trimmer, and Professional Barbers go to School to earn their skills. For me this Bevel NOT only replaced my scissors, but made my ear, neck, and sideburns trimming fast and accurate.
Here are the Features I think make this Professional Bevel stand out above the rest:
* DESIGN & BUILD – The body of this unit was designed to be comfortably held, non-slip, and easily rotated in your hand. There are 13 bevels, each approximately 9/16th inches wide, at the center of this unit. The gripping bevels surrounding the body of this trimmer are tapered at the top and bottom. Thus, the name Bevel for this hair trimmer. At the very bottom of this unit's body is the detachable lithium battery housing. There is a Charging/Operating 100V/240V female plug on the end of this unit's housing. Also, the momentary ON/OFF switch is on the detachable battery housing. There is also a retractable hook in the detachable housing for convenience. This unit weighs approximately I pound and 2.4 ounces. It has a solid feel while using it, yet it is NOT heavy in my hand.
* STAINLESS STEEL BLADE UNIT - The main Stainless Steel trimmer blade at the top of this unit snaps ON & OFF easily for adjustment and cleaning. Additionally, the blade head has an an anti-microbial coating. This blade can easily be adjusted by rotating the dial (Left or RIGHT) to anyone's particular preferences including Zero-Gap for sharp, close trimming.
* CHARGING – It took me approximately 2 hours to fully charge my Bevel. These are the following LED, indicator lights at the detachable battery housing: Solid Blue – Fully Charged; Flashing Blue – More then 15 minutes of Battery; and Flashing White – Less then 15 minutes of Battery. This Bevel will operate as a 'Cordless' for approximately 6 hours using constant power. It can also be plugged in to a 120V outlet and used accordingly. When using it in the plugged in mode, it continues to charge the unit also. It features a 180 day 'Stand-By' time.
* CARE & CLEANING – The Snap/ON/OFF blade unit is easily cleaned with the included brush. It can also be wiped with a damp cloth for more stubborn debris and dirt. Since I use this unit every 2 or 3 weeks I lightly oil the blades with each use after a thorough cleaning.
* INCLUDED IN BOX – Bevel Hair Trimmer, Square Blade, Charging Cable, Cleaning Brush, Blade Oil, Soft Drawstring Bag, and two sample packs of Face-Gel.
* CONS – No hard protective case to store this unit for travel. Soft drawstring bag is included, but offers little protection. No blade guard to protect the SS cutting blades. Steep Learning Curve for folks, who are not familiar with basic hair cutting and trimming.
For my situation this Bevel is an Outstanding Professional Hair Trimmer, and I highly recommend it. I may never get a 'Barber-Haircut' again. If you want the best this Bevel is your baby. It would make an spectacular gift for that 'Special' guy, family member, or friend on your list, who takes pride in his appearance, and is 'IN to personal grooming.
