Anyone here use this for trimming their hair close. My 9918C is dying and I need to replace, don't care about attachments

I use it for shaving per se but it doesn't give you a close shave. From the moving blade to the tip is about 1mm long. What you'll probably need to do (like me) is use it but use a foil shaver right after for a closer shave.

I use it only for edging (or lining up, whichever way you say it). It works great. That is the only reason I bought it and it works flawlessly.

I use mine to trim around ears and back of neck every couple of months. No problems

Can you tell me how this shaver performs? It is a bit pricey, and there are only two reviews on Amazon's product page, one not even by the user, but by his wife. How does it do getting the hairs on the neck? I often suffer from razor burn on my neck, and also am getting tired of having to rotate my 6 yold Norelco (battery is also dying) in circular patterns several times over the same spots to get a close shave..

I have trimmed mine slightly, seems to work better for me. I have yet to try without trimming.

Well, to be honest I bought this one a few months ego and I have not see the need yet!But see this response:No - see here: http://answers.remingtonproducts.com/answers/1205-en_us/category/PartsAndAccessories|ForMen|Groomers/men-s-groomer-parts-parts-and-accessories-remington-hair-care-shave-and-grooming-products-questions-answers/questions.htm?page=4 If you haven't bought this razor and replacing them is a priority, you'll want to reconsider. If you own this razor, a quick sharpening and re-lubrication of the blades will help.

This is a tool for professional hairstylists. I sent mine back because I couldn't use it. I asked my stylist about it and that is the kind that he uses.

I am glad I can help. It came with all different attachments, the attachments are so easy to use; just slide in and out. It will trim from Marine Corps hair style to Wall Street banker hair style. I love this trimmer so much; I bought two of this trimmer, one for myself and the other one for my college son.

Unfortunately I can't agree with the other answers. I've had one of these QT4070 for a couple years and the plastic clip that would hold the door shut has snapped off and now the door doesn't stay closed. I've had to resort to putting a rubber band around it to keep the tiny hair trimmings from making a mess everywhere. Pity, because otherwise this is a really good trimmer.

It shaves too close, my ingrown hairs got worse, if you are concerned about ingrown hairs stick with a trimmer like the Outliner II or the Oster family of trimmers and detailer, I have all 3 but I am getting rid of this one,

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.

Even though this is not the main reason I bought this clipper -I did use it in this way when I first got it and it works really well. And based on reviews of the balding clipper -I think there is less likely hood of cutting yourself. But since I haven't used the balding clipper I am not sure if it will give a closer trim.

I am returning the Wahl 79600-2101 Lithium Ion. The 79600 seems very under powered and the blades were not squared. I'm thining and even then it barely cut through 2 weeks worth of growth. I tried to trim my beard, thank God in spite of a balding head I was blessed w/ a nice Viking beard, and using the 79600 was a great let down. I'm sending the Wahl 79600-2101 Lithium Ion back for a refund. Hope to find a better cordless.

I have. I am a stylist and have used it for trimming beards many times. The reason I no longer use it is because the motor wore out in one year of very heavy use. However for daily maintenance of a beard, it would probably work fine. I did 22-30 cuts and trims a day. You will need attachments to trim a beard with this, and I believe they come along with it.

Only used it without the attachments to edge up my line. It takes it down to an eighth of an inch with the smallest attachment. Any shorter, you may as well take a razor and shave it bald!

I've had the trimmer for over a year and it still works fine. I have been using it to trim my neck after a haircut and it feels pretty smooth. It comes with adapters that help adjust the length of the haircut but it is definitely not like using a razor blade if you are looking for extra smooth cut.

I bought mine just for that purpose but it did not fit the trimmer.whiich is the GH1000 I ended up using just the inner spool and line. Seems B&D has made enough of a change in design that this spool does not insert properly into the shaft.

I use it daily to shave, and weekly to cut my hair. I'm partially bald, and just use the thinnest attachment when cutting my hair. When I shave I don't use an attachment at all, just the blade directly against my skin.My unit has definitely had some problems (see others' reviews) but this thing had been pretty good in the 2+ years that I've owned it.
