1.0 out of 5 stars
Too bad, December 1, 2005
This review is from: Philips Norelco T765 AccuTrim Beard and Moustache Trimmer (Health and Beauty)
What's bad:
1. It has a single wide-blade that is supposed to be used for both the beard and the moustache. Without a narrow-blade it is very difficult to define the line of moustache because the wide blade cuts at un-intended places too.
2. The blade is so weak that it can't be used to form the outline of the beard cleanly. Hairs outside the outline of the beard can't get a close cut.
Why 1 star--For an important thing like this, one can be either completely satisfied or completely un-satisfied, there can't be anything between the two; nobody likes to spend money and time to settle for something mediocre.
Within a week I switched to another trimmer and I like it very much. Its Wahl Groomsman XL2, I bought it at Walmart. It has dual blades; and it works great in trimming and removing unwanted hairs (the only bad thing about this is it is a bit noisy compared to Norelco T765).

SOLID PRODUCT, GREAT PRICE!, April 27, 2005
This review is from: Philips Norelco T765 AccuTrim Beard and Moustache Trimmer (Health and Beauty)
My old Norelco trimmer just gave out on me, after 8 years.
I've had the t765 for about 4 months now, and I'm very happy
with it. It trims my beard and stash effortlessly, and a single
charge lasts very long. This model is a little smaller than my
last trimmer, it's very light, and fits comfortably in my hand.
If the t765 lasts half as long as my old trimmer, I'll be happy!
For $20.00 you can't beat this Norelco trimmer!

Intro model went from OK to completely unacceptable. Waste of your money, November 19, 2007
This review is from: Philips Norelco T765 AccuTrim Beard and Moustache Trimmer (Health and Beauty)
I had the previous Norelco introductory model for about two years. The rechargeable batteries, as others have noted, wore out rather quickly. I only use a trimmer about five months of the year and only a few times a week so I didn't really use the trimmer enough to justify it dying so quickly.
Thinking this was all just a quirk, I bought this new model to replace the one I threw out. It was a total waste of money!
The biggest issue is the lack of power in the motor. This thing, even when fully charged, will PULL the hair off your face if you trim too quickly. The blades just aren't moving fast enough. If you trim slowly you're OK. If you're in a hurry and trim quickly you're in for a painful surprise. I never had this problem with the previous model or any other beard trimmer for that matter.
The second issue I have is with the trimmer head which they supposedly "improved" from the previous model. The new head is this delicate flap that goes up and down as you turn the dial. If you don't treat your trimmer delicately (and who does?) and throw this thing in your shaving kit or luggage you just might find that you've broken this small piece of plastic and thus made your trimmer completely worthless. I also found the new head to be very poor at keeping a unified level in my beard, something that really wasn't a problem before.
Norelco has lost my business. The next trimmer I buy will be from another company. Based on many positive reviews here on Amazon it looks like Remington has some good models.
