I used many different brands for my hair. Some cheap, some expensive ones. Saw many positive reviews about the Beardscape V2 and ordered it. Because sold in UK and shipped to The Netherlands, the price was increased even higher than 'normal' US pricing. Also shipping took a month. Got even so far the package seemed lost. No more tracking updates for over a week and shipper did not know either. Brio was about to ship me another one and then suddenly the same day a shipping update. My experience with Brio communication was also excellent! Have been using the trimmer for about a month now and am very happy with it! It lasts very long on battery. Do not know yet how long because have not yet needed to recharge. Do use it once a week, not daily. The size of the trimmer is good. Not too small but also not too big. Build quality feels good, too. For me it is worth the (extra) high price in comparison with other brands.
