Review: Best Precision Mustache Line-Up Tool I've Ever Had, Very Durable and Lasts for Years - I orderer this trimmer all the way back in late October of 2023 and it's hard to believe I've even had it that long considering its reliability to this day. What I was looking for when I was shopping for this trimmer was a quality built, corded precision trimmer to line up my mustache, and get a clean shave on the rest of my fast, rather than using shaving cream and a blade. It wasn't clear in other reviews whether or not certain trimmers on the market were good with giving a tight, clean line-up. But if you're someone out there looking for the same thing, I can't recommend this one enough. The fact that I never need to charge it, it's thick and feels like something my barber would have, and it accurately gives me barber level line-ups makes it a must have for all men. I don't use it anywhere but my face because the shave gets super close. Feels like the most expensive, high quality item I have in my grooming tool kit and have no doubt it will last me multiple more years. 100% Recommend!!
Review: Quality option for home use on your whole head. Close cut. - If you're anything like me, this is just one of 1000+ reviews you're reading as you search through dozens of clippers/trimmers to cut your own hair/beard at home. Tired of poor results from cheaper options, you're looking for something a little better than what they sell at Walmart. I like a really close cut, but my skin doesn't appreciate the use of a razor. Enter this trimmer. Even with the blades adjusted as far from a zero gap as they will go, this is a pretty close cut. Quite a bit closer than the cheaper wahl clippers I was using before. And the difference in quality is noticeable. While it isn't really intended for use across your whole head and face (all day, in a barber shop), I think it will be more than sufficient for this purpose at home, once every week or two. I'm using it on my whole head and face with no guard, and it gives a result that's about what I'd expect 1-2 days after using a razor. My head feels like Velcro for a day or so after use, if that helps. I haven't had it very long or used it too many times, but I'm happy with it so far. I haven't used the guards, and I doubt I will, but they seem to be decent quality. I will update this review if needed in the future. If there hasn't been an update, assume I'm still happy with the purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the blades sharp enough to cut the skin?**
A: Under normal operation, Wahl Clipper and Trimmer blades set at the factory should not cut the skin. Dropping or the hitting the blades can knock them out of alignment and could result in nicking the skin. Always inspect your blades prior to use

**Q: How are the finishing tools to be used?**
A: Wahl Professional Finishing tools can be used in a variety of ways. Shavers can be used on the neck, face, top of the head, and as a blending tool!

**Q: Can human clippers/trimmers be used on animals and vice versa?**
A: Wahl Professional products can be used on animal hair. However, the blades are designed to cut human hair. The best option is to consider one of our professional animal clippers designed specifically for animals.

**Q: Can my Wahl Professional Clipper/Trimmer be zero-gapped**
A: Everything in the 5-Star line is designed to be zero-gapped and allows you to get the closest cut to the skin possible for sharper lines.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is my second one, and that’s good!!
*by J***N on May 29, 2021*

This is the second Wahl Detailer I’ve owned, and I absolutely love this product! I can’t tell you how this would perform in a barber/salon environment. I have no training in cutting or styling hair. But if you’re like I was and plan to use this to keep up on your neck in-between haircuts, or use this trimmer to shave shave you face this review may be valuable to you. I get raging razor burn, and I’ve tried everything from creams to lotions, to straigh razors, and even the latest 26 blade Gillette… nothing worked. So I though why not try the trimmer they use when I get a haircut?! I’ve used this trimmer exclusively for the last 2-3 years, and I absolutely can’t tell you how pleased with this trimmer. I’ll say right off that the reason my first trimmer only lasted 2-3 years is because I didn’t take care of the first one like I should have, and I was really hard on it. So, it was my own fault through nothing short of abuse that my first one died. But that sucker put up with countless drops, banging it on the counter, not oiling it for months at a time, and occasionally running it for over an hour at a time. This sucker can take a beating!! When it came time for another one I did the research and looked at my options, and I chose this one again. In my experience it didn’t really ever get hot. Got a little warm, but really stayed pretty cool to the touch. It’s very quiet… unless you beat it against the bathroom sink the knock hairs off for a year. Then it starts to sound like the motor isn’t very happy, but it kept trucking along. My girlfriend and I had a bet to see how long it was going to last, and I won by over a year! I feel like it’s easy to hold, and pretty easy to maneuver around your own face. But I will say watch out if you have the blade set to zero (two screws on the back of the head allow you to advance the blade for a “safer” cutting experience, or you can line the two blades up and get an extremely close cut). You can actually cut yourself if you’re not careful, or if you’re not used to using anything but the ubiquitous Phillips trimmer every guy gets for Father’s Day. So start out on the side of being cautious and go from there. But after you get the hang of it you’ll be a pro in no time! This trimmer works great on the head and neck, and I’ve even used it to shave everything bow to stern. Treat it well, oil the blade, and maybe get a trimmer brush instead of banging it on something to eject loose hairs, and I’ll bet this sucker will treat you well for years to come.
