Hello fellow TH-camrs. Google is getting ready to demonetize small channels like mine. Make no mistake, this is not a money maker, maybe pennies. However, I would love to grow my channel. If you found this video helpful, please subscribe and I can do the same to help you grow your channel. Thank you, I am truly grateful!
It looks excellent, but don't worry about going against or with the grain with the shortcut pro, after the initial pass through just keep doing it in every direction and you won't miss a thing. I have been doing it for two decades and in the beginning it was hard to get used, but in hindsight it was the best decision I ever made as far as ease and now I don't think I would get used to myself with hair.
You're a good sport, Mario. If I were a beer-drinking man, I'd enjoy sitting around solving the problems of the world with you. :) Thank you for sharing this experience. Enjoy your life.
@@michaelgorrett2542 1-2 times a week. I am still using the same shaver I bought in this video too, with the original cutting blade! I will say the battery seems to be weaker now, but still lasts a few shaves. If I had to replace it today, I would probably buy another one, but I've also been looking at those skull shavers and have debated buying one. However, with those other type of skull shavers, they say the blades have to be replaced every 6 months or so. I think I got my money's worth with this $50 purchase. Thanks for watching!
It is supposed to come with a large bottle of lubricating oil and a brush for clearing the teeth. The pinhead at the factory who packed it screwed you out of getting all the accessories. I would call Remington and have them do the right thing and send you what was missing. Nice review, I enjoyed watching it and helped me to make my decision on purchasing this.
Thanks for watching and taking the tme to comment! The replacement did come with a small bottle and brush. I originally filmed the video with the broken one, so it may not have made it into the second half of the video without me realizing. Apologies on that one. This often goes on sale for $38-28. I got it at $51, so keep a lookout. I used camelcamelcamel.com to track the pricing. Thanks again for watching and keep an eye out for the follow-up video!
Thanks a lot for the reply Mario. And many thanks for the camel link. I'm gonna try it out. The Rem shaver is currently $60 on Amazon. Hopefully I can get a better deal on it thanks to you my friend. Keep the great reviews .coming. You definitely have a good personality and talent for it
Cali BiggDogg excellent! I paid $51 for it and it went as low as $30 shortly after I bought it a couple of months ago. Good luck with it it works really well for me.
One other mention. I no longer use the #0 1/16" guard on it. I no longer use any comb/guard. Without the guard it cuts a hair (!) shorter. If I were to guess, it would be 3/64th or maybe a tad less. It does a pretty good job. The neck line is the only place it could improve. You need to turn it upside down for the neckline and it isn't quite short enough. However, it's fine for what I do and I have another mustache/beard/neck trimmer that's maybe 12-15 years old.
Today it just went on sale again for $28.49! slickdeals.net/f/11076591-remington-hc4250-shortcut-pro-self-haircut-kit-28-49-ac-amazon-fsss-new-low Call Amazon to see if they will price adjust for you!
The zero insert guide is labeled as 1/16" (1.5mm) cut. I tried it Sunday without the insert guide and it's only a tad bit shorter than 1/16". So you're not going to do much better than 1/16" cut. Knowing that now, I wish I there was one out there that would have that I tried. My buddy uses the WAHL cordless professional looking one. His looks as short if not a tad shorter than mine, however I have thicker hair (Where it actually grows!) so that may just give it the illusion that his cuts shorter. I think the one below is what he bought, but do your homework on that as I am not 100% sure. It's hard to tell by the description on Amazon, but it seems you can go shorter with what he has. What's nice about some of the WAHL'a is that there is lever to adjust even further.

I was looking at the attachments on Amazon that come with the WAHL I mentioned. The grey attachment is also 1/16". What I don't know is if the adjustment lever will let you go shorter.
Yeah, my other buddy once he buzzed it short, now just uses a razor and goes 100% shaven. Phillips has that new weird electric razor. It's cheap money and blades are maybe 10-20 each. My brother I think is buying one. It does shorter, but I don't know how well on the head it would work. If my hair looked too long in the video, the Remington I bought is not for you. There aren't too many that go shorter, and you have to look out for nicking your skin with that metal points on uneven spots like bumps or moles.

I feel the same way, now that I have been shaving my head since I made this video 4 years ago.
Thanks for watching, it is appreciated!

Thanks Jack, much appreciated!
Thanks for stopping in!
GREAT review Mario! I am supposed to be receiving mine today from Amazon.
Awesome! Still love mine!
Hi Mario great video how often do you shave it now?

@@m3rdpwr how much you use? One day in a week?🙄
@@mokuho twice a week, anyway. Depends how I feel.
Can you cut it to zero?

I have baldness, so I try to go to zero, but it's hard I was looking for a model.
But where does the model
