I used to be in a machine of the company which was owned choice no longer be found, so I resorted to this. The first feeling was, as usual, very stable and you realize what you have in your hand, but when cut, I must say I find it a little weak on the chest. And it is already quite warm for a very short time. But occasionally a few whiskers clip ok. Still good to use Maybe in the case of thin normal hair but with strackem hair I would advise against it and invest some more.
