Description

Wahl originally and still do market this shaver/trimmer as designed specifically for a black man who traditionally suffers more from in-growing hair due to hair that is more curly and more prone to inwards growth than those whose hair is straighter. However anyone could suffer from in-growing hairs and this trimmer is an ideal choice.<br><br>The trimmer is designed to glide along the surface of the skin, straightening and trimming the hairs as it moves. Due to the design of the blade the cut it gives generally leaves a blunt edge to the hair which is less likely to in grow, hence helping to reduce future occurrence.<br><br>One thing to hold in mind when considering this shaver is due to its trimmer like blade the shave will not be the closest. It might be worth mixing its use with a more traditional electric shaver using a foil or rotary heads for the best in all round results.<br /><br />There is also a <a href="/product.php?product_id=1277">battery operated What a Shaver Trimmer</a> available which may be preferable for convenience/travel usage.

Wahl 9947-801 What A Shaver Rechargeable Beard Trimmer Reviews

Have previously used this product

My recent purchase is a back-up to the battery operated version that I currently have. Over the years I bought extra blades and then rotated them every two months. It cost less than £10 to have them resharpened. The What-a-Shavers (both battery and mains versions which I have used in the past) have worked exceptionally well. but have been sidelined by my wet-shaving routine which has seen me using a product called "Tendskin". That product also works extremely well and has given me rash-free, no razor bumps, clear skin for the past 4 years.

Highly recommend

Excellent product. Prevents ingrown hairs for men with Afro hair. This is a replacement after the old one, which is probably six years old, eventually lost power from its rechargeable battery (only due to my husband leaving it on charge too long!). Amazing service. Product ordered early afternoon and arrived before 9am next day! If only all companies operated this efficiently.

Brilliant for my Nigerian Husband

I buy this model twice a year for my husband. It is the only shaver that does not damage his skin. First time purchasing from Shavers so looking forward to receiving from them.
