Our dear friend Michael Delany Korabelnikova road-tests the Remington Touch Control stubble facial trimmer. If you have an item for discerning and modern ladies and gentlemen and would like to submit your product for consideration, please click here.
As a man with a beard I am not often on the receiving end of charity, but thanks to my dear Agony Uncle, I now am. Inside the package I am now holding is the Remington Touch Control trimmer.
I have long maintained my own appearance with a frightening set of Breville clippers with a missing screw. The missing screw allows the top metal comb to slide out of line with the savage moving lower teeth, whose ferocious action causes the beard to be trimmed. Numbered plastic combs slide onto this chassis to set the height of the trim. The heavy vibration of the unit causes these combs to fly off mid-movement, which can cause some rough treatment and fear. It’s a miracle I have looked so good for so long.
The Remington Touch Control trimmer is thin, light and black. When I held it in my hand I sensed change. Unencumbered by clumsy leads, it charges via USB, which is so convenient: you can update your online status while you wait to alter your physical status in real life! The operation of the unit is sensible and quick, one can alter the height and speed of the cut subtly and easily, and lock these settings to avoid “mistakes”. Its head is small and can negotiate the freakiest faces in the land, I am sure.
Compact, lightweight, effective and modern … я люблю оно!
Or if you’re a traditional razor man and like to keep your goatee neat, then perhaps the below product is more your style. Be sure to look out for the “girlfriend’s” face at the 59 second mark! Seriously, I’ve watched this three times and it’s making my mind bleed.
