Really good one! So sharp and smooth, and, and flows without any pressure. Rather a bit on a shorter side in terms of length so start with a notch longer setting as I just cut of 10 years from my look and now back to my early 30ties. But on a serious note, this trimmer is great value for your money. 20 length settings, wet and dry regime, super sharp and smooth blades and a charging stand! Now I a Dexter · panasonic.com
