BEST ELECTRIC DO-IT-YOURSELF HAIR CUTTER EVER, April 20, 2008
The Remington ShortCut hair clipper represents the most significant change in electric clipper design and intention ever presented by a major manufactuer. Capitalizing on the current popularity of ultra-short or bald hairstyles for men, Remington created a product that is INTENDED for the individual to be able to operate by themsleves. Lightwight, cordless, new ergonomic curved blade design, blades that cut both foward and backward, exteremly low maintainence are amoung it's revolutionary features. Cutting your hair with the ShortCut is much like brushing your hair and once you get the knack, and takes about as long. I found the results on me to be better with regard to shape (particularly in the outside corners of the head) and sharpness (less uneveness, stray hairs, etc.) than any other method of self cutting I have ever tried and SO MUCH FASTER. Fast and fun to use, it makes me want to use it more often.
Critically, I would say it's a little expensive at about $30 for the black model and $40 for the crome one. It doesn't come with a travel case which I think would be a good idea and should be included for this much money.
Still, if you're into short, uncomplicated hair cutting and doing it yourself, this is the state of the art, a quantum leap from what previously has been.

Even my wife can't complain!, June 23, 2008
I don't have a lot of hair, but what I have can quickly start to stick out in a distinctly unattractive Bozo-esque way if I don't keep it trimmed.
In the past, my wife would trim my hair, apparently one hair at a time, because it would take a long time and often involve either hair pulling (probably not intentional but one never knows), and one time the removal of the top of my right ear.
She would also never cut it short enough, so I'd start looking clownish a week after she'd cut it, and then have to risk my appendages again!
I read about this online and thought I'd give it a try and I'M SO GLAD I DID!
The box says, "You can't mess this up," and I figured if anyone could it would be me--but so far, I haven't.
You basically comb your hair and it cuts it. The adjustable trimmer keeps everything the same length and keeps you from looking like your were in a fight with Sweeney Todd.
One of the reviews here said it wasn't good for getting hair short--but I disagree--my hair was too long and this neatly cut it down to size. I've ever used it on my beard to keep it short and it's much faster than my beard trimmer!
I started out on setting 2, so it was short but not short enough that my wife would complain.
Then, yesterday, before my shower, I set it to 1 and let 'er rip. It trimmed a LOT of hair and in about two minutes my hair was very short--and even.
When my wife saw me she didn't say "What on earth did you do to your hair?!?" which she would have if she could have found any fault at all. Instead, she had me turn around, inspected me and went, "It looks good."
OK, so if a wife cannot complain about it, then you know it's good. Period.
There is ONE thing that isn't as good as it could be--the pop-out trimmer. I tried to use it around my ears and it really didn't do much. I ended up using my beard trimmer for that.
But the rest of it worked so well, so effortlessly (and quietly, it's not like some trimmers that sound like you've put a leaf blower next to your head), that I'm happy! Considering what a haircut costs, or the value of the top of an ear, this is a bargain!
Now I can use it regularly, keep my hair under control and avoid any clownish coiffure!

Best clippers ever for guys who like their hair short., June 17, 2008
Holy Cow. I was skeptical about this thing at first. I was just like every other guy who wants a great haircut. First of all I only go to one barber because I don't trust anyone else to cut my hair. Mind you this is the same barber who's been cutting my hair since I was 5. I am 25 now and I thought with gas going up and shelling out $15 bucks every two weeks to get my hair cut I might try this guy to save some money.
Like I said I was skeptical at first but man I'm so glad I tried it. I like the fresh fade look. Some guys might call it a high and tight. I like my hair skin tight on the sides and the back with it getting a little bit longer on the top going from back to front. And when I say skin tight I mean it.
I didn't think this guy would cut that close but I was wrong. This thing cuts as close as you want it. The only thing that would cut closer would be a straight razor or a gillette fusion. There are two different guides you can use, with five different settings for lengths that you use a wheel on the handle to select.
I'm telling you this thing will save you money and time. In the time it would have taken me to drive to my barbershop 7 miles away I was done.
Say goodbye to the barber and hello to the green and the time you'll save with these clippers.
