I had eight years a brown beard trimmer (Beard carrier), so was quite happy, now the battery had to be "off". Have not decided because of the poor reviews on Amazon for a brown, have now the Remington MB 42 C, and am thrilled. Absolutely sharp ceramic knives (actually looks like plastic, but cuts enormously). The holder for the cutting comb I think a little weak, you should deal carefully with the cleaning with the holder. The cleaning of the trimmer is somewhat time-consuming, compared with my old Braun. All in all, the Remington MB 42 C is recommended absolutely and without limitation to buy for this price.
