So I have bought this trimmer several times through recent years because certain events caused me to lose them, and I was a bit bummed when I could no longer find it on store shelves. I tried the Oneblade as well, which was the direct competition of this, and I was less impressed with the consistency and performance of that trimmer, even despite how close it was able to get. Recently, I took to Amazon to see if I could find my beloved durablade again, and was pleased to not only find it, but to find it a good deal cheaper than I had previously purchased it for. So for starters, this will give you a very close shave, but not quite as close as a Oneblade or a standard razor, however, the pivot of the head and the built in guard do more to prevent nicking. Using a thin shave gel, I was able to attain an extremely close shave on my face as well, though I normally do not do so with. Now onto the thing that impressed me: I had a quick thick head of hair, and decided I would give this a spin at removing it. I cut my hair down with scissors first, and then spent some time with this trimmer on top and the result, while nowhere near as quick as clippers designed to the task, was excellent. Long story short, it can manage your head if you are patient and attentive, it's quite good on the face, and it's also very effective on other regions too. the only real regret is that these do not come with a charging block of their own, so you will have to provide one for it. that isn't such a big deal.
