Need Razor for Face

The trimmer is a weak battery powered jobber that doesn't actually TRIM my beard. Maybe I have beard hair made of iron...but I have been told it's actually soft.
Furthermore, all razors from this brand have little wires over their razors, which makes it extremely difficult to clean, meaning I need to change the expensive razors more often. I have tried a lot of razors, and this one falls into the gimmick category in my humble opinion...right next to vibrating razors. (I am still curious why someone would want 4 or 5 very sharp razors shaking on their head or face.)
For anyone that cares, these single blades on the back of a whole boat load of blades isn't an answer to anything but the simplest of trimming jobs. Yes, you can straighten your sideburns, but getting any nice curves would be hard since the razor head is so big and awkwardly proportioned.
I just went ahead and bought my Andis trimmers that are used for shape-ups. I might have gone overboard with shaping my beard. hahahah But it WORKS, and it gets it close enough that any of these gimmicky razors should be able to shave up the scraps.

You know JD, I have a pretty tough beard and I have alway had great luck with Shick Slim Twin disposables. They cut a very fine line. They don't have any of those wires wrapped around the blades, etc. Have you ever tried them?
Like you I can't seem to get a good line cut on my beard with triple bladed razors and I have tried them all. I always seem to come back to the Slim Twin for my face. The real nice thing about the Slim Twin is that it has a little push leaver on the top of the blade head that pushes any build up that forms between the blades out. Very convenient. O0

You know what? I used to use these before...and I completely forgot about them! I think I will head to Walgreens today and pick a pack up. Thanks, man. Looks like we have a lot in common...bald, tough facial hair, cool, sexy, and suave! Haha!

How long does it take to receive the trimmer?

I'm actually not sure how long it takes, but I do know that they process the requests immediately.

I also HAD the problem of bumps on my neck from shaving. I eliminated them by using a shave brush, and a nice DE razor. If I dont use the DE I use Gillette Good News twin blade or Gillete Custom Plus. Please go to youtube and look up Mantic59. He will get you squared away on wetshaving.
