Remington is a decent brand trimmer. The quality obviously various with different models, as does all beard trimmers. I have a $10 Rem trimmer, it cut good esp with the guard attached, but the motor is more weak than the Wahl brand. With the Wahl brand tho...I don't like the guard for trimming my beard as I often get hairs snagged under the guard and the blade...it can be pretty damn painful! Let us know how this Rem trimmer is working out for you.
