Another one to add to the pile.

Interested to see if this is any good. I've been after a solid trimmer/shaver for my beard that does what I want in 1/2 passes compared to my current Philips trimmer that needs a couple of passes and never seems to get everything.

My barber uses a pro Wahl one that does a really good job, but they're crazy pricey.

Look for Wahl Colour pro, I've had mine 3 years and use it for face as well as head hair

Is it any good? I need one with a guard that doesn't chop chunks out of my scalp if I get the angle slightly wring.

Yeah they cut close, don't have any nicks yet, something like this would do the job and is cheaper https://www.amazon.co.uk/Profession...=1&keywords=t+outliner&qid=1599850300&sr=8-27

Have you tried the Pitbull shavers? Thats what I use every 2 days to keep my hair almost non-existently short because I have my entire scalp tattoo'd.

No risk of taking a chunk out your head as the head of the shaver moves to the contour of your scalp. I've been using the same blade for the last year almost now and still sharp as ever.

Balance weight or Harmonic Damper for rear crossmember to quieten down the road noise.Made quite a difference as well.

He managed to not poop all over my car on the 7 hour trip home which was rather impressive!

Cool, any more details, is it hard to install? I've got a Mk7 GTI. Does it help on motorway journeys or more A/B road giving it some?

Thought that was some kind of funky control pad!

Pretty sure that it's actually a standard fit part on the S3.

Agreed with @robfosters
That's a PS3 controller from the gulag knocked up from the scrap heap.

Easy to fit, a 5 minute job once car is up enough to crawl underneath ( parked with one wheel on the kerb and the other on the road, plenty of room. Took it for a longer drive today and makes a big difference to the tyre drone from the rear on all road surfaces. All info here about it...CLICKY

How come you aren't recommending the TPOB in your post? Anyhows as you seem to be in the know and the fact I've wasted much money over the years... what's the most robust trimmer for a close head shave up to £100?

Ooo curious to see how you get on with that Khemist

- these seem too good to be true in terms of features and cost

I have a couple of dead pixels together on one spot but still keeping it, enjoying it for games, have to turn the brightness down a lot as it's too much for my eyes.
