I was really not looking forward to spending another 60 bucks on something that may only last a year. Plus my hair clipper which I use to give me the almost bald but longer than stubble look, didnt hold charge, I really wanted to toss it. I started surfing ebay and walmart.com and various other sites looking for something to clean my face with, I had been using a beard trimmer for June, July and August, but I wanted that smooth look.
I had a Remington shaver for less than a day. I was too skeptical of Braun. Wahl made trimmers, not shavers (at least none that I could find.) The search for a Philips Norelco was where I started. They have these new 2D and 3D shaving systems, that were hella pricey but had amazing reviews. 60 bucks was my cut off
I happened across Philips Norelco QC5550 head trimmer and Balder. I thought to myself wtf? You cant get a bald head with some electric tool. I got a barber shop bald treatment a few years back, I paid 20 bucks for
the cut, and noticed I had stubble the next day. I never went bald
again, it took the guy half an hour maybe more.. Back to walmart.com, it was 69.99, with 2 reviews on walmart.com that sounded like they were written by Philips. Amazon had no reviews on it, YouTube didnt have any user experiences other than a few Brazilian commercials on the product. I got a barber shop bald treament a few years back, I paid 20 bucks for the cut, and noticed I had stubble the next day. I never went bald again70 bucks I thought, I just got a fat paycheck, why not, if it doesnt work, I'll return it, and maybe I can use it on my face and have an all in one hair remover. I hit buy it now. The next day while trying to find more info on the balder, I found the price went down from 69.99 to a whopping 22 bucks! I filled out the online form on walmart.com regarding price changes within 7 days, and got my cash difference back the next day.
When the Balder arrived in the mail, I charged it up for the required hour and then got to clipping. I used the included hair clipper to cut my hair down as low as possible. It cut as low as my dedicated clipper, therefore I took my clipper out of the drawer and walked it right to the trash can. I switched over to the balder attachment, and proceeded on my head. What happened in the next 10 minutes was a cut that made me bald to the skin, as good as, if not better than the barber shop bald treatment.
I was amazed, my head was as smooth as my cheek. I was and still am really excited, this is one amazing product. I was sold. 3 months later, I use the Balder every 2-3 days for a constant and consistent bald look. The whole process takes 7-10 minutes. The Balder comes with a mirror, which I use to verify any spots that I may have missed. The only downside is the extra cash that you now spend on an aftershave balm for your head. But, this balder, is worth every penny. Sure I paid 22 for it, but I would have been just as happy paying 69.99. I just hope I get at least a year out of it.The only downside I would say, is that the foil of the Philips Norelco QC5550 Balder is extremely fragile. I broke it once, and Philips sent a replacement for free. They had free replacement parts for a year. Aggressive balding will definitely break the foil. I hope the foil will be a bit tougher in the next iteration of the Balder series, and I will most definitely be buying again as my relationship with Philips is now a need rather than a want. I was so happy with the Balder, I bought 2 more Philips products. For my next review, I will be reviewing a SensoTouch 2D electric shaving system.
