Is this a trimmer that shortens the hair (i.e. the whole eyebrow) or is it a shaver that completely cuts the hair down to the skin?Just want short

I would say based upon my ability to use it (and I've used these for years now...) that these are really only shapers and shavers, not hair shorteners. They don't have the ability to trim down the length of your eyebrow hair. Also, without significant practice, they tend to also take off indiscriminate amounts of hair, which can be really unfortunate! Don't use these to make your eyebrow hair shorter! I would recommend going to a salon for shorter eyebrow hair!

I have no experience with a shaved head, but this has been awesome for my chin. My problems with razor bumps have been dramatically reduced. With that said, I should say that I DON'T use it as a trimmer . I like to keep a separate tool that's just for trimming.

It doesn't shave at all. Nothing even close to a clean shave. It purposely leaves "stubble". I shave most of my face with a blade. I trim my very large mustache with the QT4000/42 at a high setting for long length.The portion left (goatie) I use the lowest close setting for a stubble look. This shaver is NOT something that could leave your face smooth and clean. Made for what I use it for and nothing else. Hope this helps.

DEFINITELY NOT! Some like it, but I personally prefer shaving with a razor 'cause it leaves the area nice & smooth, as opposed to this shaver which still leaves short short hair. Visually I was like "wow this really works" but when I ran my hand through I could still feel it prickly.. it felt like I'd shaved about one or two days before I actually had. Honestly my boyfriend just liked the razor better -- I know not all guys have the same likes blah blah but that's just to give you a male point of view, I guess. And I mean let's not even talk about shaving down under lol it's just not a comfortable size to use in between the legs. My friend, the one that recommended me this shaver, was like "ohh just use the pop up trimmer!" It was all fun & dandy.. until it pulled on a hair. Honest to God: the startle made me do that little jump (very dangerous with something like that down there) and my eyes even watered. That is something I never EVER want to experience again. Just like you, bikini area was basically the major reason why I wanted this shaver. It was seriously the first thing I shaved when the shaver arrived; unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed /: For the rest, though, like arms & legs, ughh it is SUCH a life saver & WAYY more comfortable than the razor (with the occasional pull, of course). I've also never been cut with this shaver sooo yipee! That's a BIG plus for me. I mean I've even shaved in the car on my way to somewhere. It's super awesome on that note though. Soo.. what I do is just keep the razor in the shower, strictly for bikini use, but that's it. The rest I shave with this shaver (: Hope this helped!

There is a precision trimmer that slides out the rear similar to those on previous Norelco models for sideburns, nose hairs, etc. if that is what you mean by a body groomer.It is noisier than on my previous shavers, but works very well.

The trimmer is not for shaving. I use it a lot to trim hair on the side. I find it better than the clipper. The clipper seems to have a problem with the motor.

It will work for any kind of Hair! I use my to cut my stubble before shaving? I used it to trim my eyebrows and around my ear. Also cutting the unwanted hair on my back. We use it to trim our dogs noses. It has combs to shorten your chest hair to any length. This is a great set of trimmers and was the best investment my Father and I made. Now if you wanted to have no hair on your chest then you would use this to shorten hair and then shave with a razor. Hope this help?

Hi Heather, I don´t think so. It does have two attachments, one for eyebrows and the other for small hair. Nevertheless I do think in the delicate area of membranes inside the nose, you might hurt yourself. For eyebrows and other hair it is a great trimmer, the best I have bought.

Not sure I understand the question. You mean like a groomer comes with beard/hair length attachment? No. The trimmer flips up and what you hold it to, it cuts. When trimmers on shavers first appeared, they were shown in the commercials just putting a crisp edge to the bottom of sideburns, that's it. (Regular sideburns, not Star Trek style.) But this will do more. It's fine for edging a beard. The trimmer blade is wider than some groomer blades I've seen. The rotary head will handle a few days' stubble (for me at least), but if you've gone a week or two without shaving, the trimmer will also cut your beard down to a more shave-able level.

This is a trimmer. Use it to trim around the neck and ears. IE: The length is zero.

My guess is one comes with the nose trimmer and the the other is just the shaver only. Mine was so poorly made I switched to a Panasonic ES-LT41-K which is a great electric shaver, the Wahl was not. The Panasonic will not shave while plugged but it will work for a full shave after only 5 minutes of charging. I got mine on eBay, but check Amazon for sales, too. Good luck, Marty Wisner

It depends on you using the device. It does not have a pre defined length because it cuts while you comb your hair. In summary you control the length of the cut.

I usually use a guard to keep the shave from being short. I think the guards came with some cheap clippers but, yes, the blade alone is short.

Yes, when I got it smoothed out my skin. It removes the hairs but you would have to shave longer your face than if you were using clippers. One of main differences is that the shavers don't irritate your skin like clippers do. You have to at times put the oil on them to keep them able to give you that smooth shave. There is another shaver designed specially for blacks males called Wahl Professional 8061 5-star Series Rechargeable Shaver Shaper.

Sorry this isn't an answer to your question, but I would like to add that I would also like to know whether or not this will do what you are asking. I like to trim my beard down as low as possible, the only reason I don't shave is because I get horrible razor burn.So, can this trimmer do the really low stubble/shadow look?

The width of the flat trimmer blade attachment is 3/4". That's the one for trimming sideburns & eyebrows. The trimmer blade on the nose hair trimmer is 5/8". I've used the wide blade trimmer with the adapters that come with it to trim thick bushy eyebrows and it works very effectively.

Mine came with 3 total. 2 little combs that slide onto the small tip pictured.. I think these are meant are for eyebrows. Look kinda like a butterfly... But I found them useless. There is also a straight shaver type cutter tip / attachment that transforms the device into a regular trimmer. You twist off the little trimmer tip and twist that one on. That tip uses the 3rd comb that only fits it and which has about 1/8 inch clearance.. Im not at home but that's from memory. That would work well if you wanted that length. I have used that on my sideburns..
