Great Dog Paw Trimmer!
I was hesitant and skeptical about such a tiny trimmer that runs on a battery, but boy was I wrong! I trimmed up 8 paws (Brittany and Long Haired Weimaraner) pretty quickly, though they were long over-due for a trim, so I spent a bit longer being a perfectionist. This really is the perfect size for trimming paws, and I even used it to tighten up some other areas. It's so easy to hold in one hand; very light and no cord to maneuver around. No need to worry about cutting or hurting your dogs either... with or without blade attachments on.A fellow Brittany owner recommended this trimmer to use for paws and he was absolutely correct — Thanks Mark! Great trimmer that will definitely help to keep me on the ball with keeping their paws trimmed up. The other nice feature is that this is not overly loud like most timers, so the pups weren't concerned with this at all and they were able to relax easily.My only negative is that the blade attachments don't attach very easily and in some cases if they are not on perfectly, the trimmer will not turn on... even if they actually are on perfectly... weird. I could take off the attachments and put them back on the exact same way and then it would turn on. I ended up using the trimmer without any attachments on in the end though.Here are before and after images, though the after has already been you 2 weeks, but you get the idea. Works great! I'd been using rounded scissors for 5 years and wish I bought this ages ago!

Pro:
-Powerful enough to do buzz cut
-Works both on the head and facial hair
-Small enough to fit inside your palm
-Takes only one AA battery
-Great for world travel
-Squarish body sits stable on the sink.
-Solid steel blades
-Can rip seams
-Can trim your pets’ fur
-Affordable

Con
-Guides a bit flimsy
-Guides pop out from the blade easily during use.
-Only two guides available
-No case or bag
-Not waterproof

comes with;
2 guides : 1/8”, 3/16”
brush
oil

I tested it. It does take care of your over grown buzz cut hair.
This little bad boy doesn't get bogged down at all by my thick healthy hear. It has enough power to mow through the entire hair on my scalp.

Pretty amazing considering it’s a $10 palm sized trimmer that only takes one AA battery.

The blade itself is only 7/8” wide. So it take a bit of time to go over your entire scalp. It’s a trade off I am willing to take when I am traveling for the sake of lighten the load. The upside is, this does take care of the detailing very well (which this is designed for) such as around your ears.

The only gripe is that the 2 guides that come with are bit flimsy and don’t attach on the blade very securely. Also it doesn’t come with any bag or case so you will need to find one to keep everything in one place. If you break or lose the guides, well, it’s cheap enough to buy the entire thing again. I also wish if it comes with longer guides.

I actually like how it looks. Don’t know when they started this model but has a look and feel that it has been around since 80s. We men don’t need bubbly curvy shaver that rolls around the sink. No fake chrome please. This is a proudly $10 plastic trimmer with sold performance for real men.

Even if you don’t grow beard, combination of this trimmer and a safety razor will be the lightest hair grooming kit for your around the world travel. If you use rechargeable AA batteries (such as eneloop) and a world charger, then you are set!

They also market this trimmer for furry animals. Some say it’s a fantastic seam ripper. Great! It does them all!

If you are a frugal bearded buzz headed seamstress who travels light around the world with furry animals, this is your dream come true!

The Wahl groomsman Travel Trimmer battery operated model is a great little shaver for its size and well worth the money. I use it usually to trim around my beard, and the other day I wanted to see if it could shave my entire beard and bye bye beard!! Now, I am re growing my beard again and this time I am keeping my beard at a close cropped length it does it all !! It fits neatly in a travel shaving kit and is o k with the airlines to bring on board an air craft. You might want to take the battery out however, mine got flipped on and I came through the place where the TSA agents go through your stuff and they were really curious about the slight vibrating noise in my carry on. when I opened it and they saw what was making the vibrating noise, everyone had a laugh !!!! That goes to show you the absolute power that little razor has!! Buy one, and find out for your self, this is the best razor on the market today !!

I had purchased a Wahl Half Pint and the switch failed within 3 weeks, upon the 2nd use. I re-ordered this one and it arrived not working; it is more compact and travel friendly in shape. I wonder about durability and quality but I just reordered another one of these thinking these problems happen, the switch looks identicle and is likely made cheaply somewhere. I think the switch design may be faulty. The Half Pint worked great the first time, the breeder uses one and has had no problems, and 14 reviewers say it is great so I'll give it another try; Prime allows 'free, shipping both ways two-day with free UPS pick-up.

Update 6-24-12
I received the free replacement with free shipping both ways (2-day Prime is great!) and it has worked fine. The switch works and it has been used twice and still cuts great. I use this for trimming my dogs hair on his foot pads and it is not frightened by it nor does it injure; it is not sharp or cuts anything but hair. It comes with oil, brush, and two cutting combs. I highly recommend this but recommend using it frequently for the first 30 days to be able to return it if it fails. I will update if it fails.

12-8-12 Update:

Still working fine and I recommend this safe hair trimmer, even around sensitive parts as my male Havanese matures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic value and great for travelling with a short beard
Reviewed in Canada on December 26, 2016
For me, this was perfect to take travelling and to use at home.

Pros:
- it is small, compact, and easy to travel with, yet well shaped and easy to hold
- the cut is very good, consistent and comfortable (especially with a fresher battery), with or without either of the two attachments
- it takes a single AA battery, which lasts quite a while (maybe 5 full shaves, which for me was around 2-3 weeks)
- it seems well made and has lasted me a year so far, including 5 months' backpacking, and is still in great shape (see below on the attachments)

Cons:
- it only comes with two attachments (which give something like "long stubble" and "short beard"), so there is not a huge choice of lengths, but for me the longer one is perfect. Without the attachment, it gives a 5-o'clock shadow and is great for cutting little areas like under the lower lip and on the neck
- the attachments seem a little weak (like they might bend/break at the attaching clips on each end), though I've been using this for a year, removing and adding the longer attachment each shave, without issue
- it doesn't come with a bag or case, which is odd for a travel item. I ended up carrying it in a sock

Overall, given the price, this is a perfect trimmer to take travelling if you want some kind of short beard/stubble, and is also extremely good value for a home trimmer
