Still, the Panasonic beats them all. It's amazing how easily he plows through the remaining hair, while leaving behind a perfect result. I appreciate the opportunity to be able to vary in small increments the cut lengths. The battery lasts a long time. Only the price is crisp; but if I count, however, how much money I save by not going to a hairdresser, then put into perspective the fast. And if I can look forward to the result of me then, it was worth the price.
