I’ve now been cutting my own hair (albeit sometimes with the help of my wife or son) for almost a year), since the pandemic closed my barber down. After going ten weeks without a haircut, my son (who had been already even cutting his own hair for some time) gave me one, and I realized that I could do for myself—and should start doing given the pandemic’s uncertain prognosis. So I bought a Remington razor on Amazon and began cutting my own hair. After two cuts, the razor had paid for itself and I was satisfied with the results. The only thing I didn’t like was the mess the cut hair made on and around me. I looked into Flowbees, but since they weren’t being sold anymore I found this Remington razor with a vacuum on Amazon and decided to give it a try. Lo and behold, the vacuum works! It doesn’t capture every hair, but it gets a lot which makes makes cleanup afterwards much easier.
The vacuum compartment is small and you may have to empty it once or twice while you cut, but if you use it regularly you may not have to do so until you’re done. And emptying it is easy too—it just snaps off and back on. The kit provides a charger, about 10 cutting length guides, scissors, oil, and a small brush. I don’t know how long the battery lasts because I charge it up each use, and it certainly lasts a lot longer than I need for each haircut. The cutting capability itself is also fine, and I’ve had no problem with hair getting pulled or snagged. Again, this has already more than paid for itself, and I don’t plan on ever returning to the barbershop.
One last comment: if you wear your hair short like I do, cutting it yourself is very simple and easy: just snap on the length guides and run the razor over your head uniformly. Even the back is doable without looking (though this is where I usually ask my wife for help). It’s obviously harder to get an even cut if you keep your hair longer, but my son is adept at getting the look he wants—long on top, cut very close on the sides. But overall, I’m very glad to have this vacuum razor: it’s another product that’s changed my life by making it more convenient and that saves me money.

Not sure this is better than the corded model
I've been using the corded version of this for a few years now. I decided to try the cordless version partly because the cord was annoying and partly because I wanted the 1.5mm comb (which the corded version doesn't have). After using the trimmer for the first time this evening, a few observations: 1. Getting rid of the cord is nice. The battery came partly charged already & was quick to fully charge, and not having to deal with the cord made it easier to move the trimmer around. 2. The suction fan is not as strong as on the corded version, so I don't think it did quite as good a job of sucking the hair trimmings into the chamber. Still pretty good but I think the corded version does better. 3. I was not pleased with the 1.5mm comb. The one I received doesn't match the one in the photo above - the teeth of the comb stop short of the blades, leaving the metal teeth exposed (see attached photo). So if you're trimming an area where the skin isn't completely flat (like around the area at the base of the skull) or even if you just hold the trimmer at the wrong angle, those metal teeth will nick your skin; even if they don't you can still wind up with uneven hair. This doesn't happen with the other combs, they extend out in front of the cutters so you're protected. I'll try it again with the 3mm comb in a few weeks when my hair has grown out a bit, and see how that works. Right now I'm on the fence whether to stick with this or go back to the corded version.
