NOT an electric shaver, Im talking about a beard trimmer with adjustable settings.
I ordered one (Norelco) from G-Market but it stopped recharging (I had the step-down voltage converter, but it still went cu-put).
I don't want to mess around with another foreign 120V product.
Where can i find a GOOD rechargeable beard trimmer.
The ONE and only one I saw at Homeplus took batteries and was pretty small.

Got mine from a shop in the subway pedway at Suwon Station.

120-250VAC rechargeable. It has done me well over the last 3 years.

I happy with the cheap kemei trimmer I ordered off of G-market earlier this year.

are those hair clippers? It looks like its for cutting hair, not for beards. If it's for beards, it's cheap enough and I'll go ahead and get em.

True, they are actually hair trimmers; I use them for both purposes and they get the job done. For the price I have no complaints.

it's cheap enough. I ordered it. If you use it without the guard will it cut your skin on your face like real hair clippers?

Which one did you order? I got the 3090.
I imagine you could cut yourself if you're not careful; I've used it without the guard on my face and the back of my neck without issues.

My wife is going to order it today. I'll tell her to get the same model as yours.
Thanks for the help!

I checked the one that I got for my husband. It's also made for hair, but with the shortest setting or the guard off, it works for both.

Does anyone know if these can be found at E-Mart or Hi-Mart? I just looked at Lotte Dept. Store and all they had were unadjustable Panasonics for 40,000 to 50,000 or 100,000 to 200,000 uber-bells and whistles models.

I'm just looking for something that I can keep me moderately presentable while my patchy sideburns grow in.

I've seen various shavers, trimmers, and such at Lotte Mart, Homeplus, and E-Marts. Just looke in the electronics sections. They are usually under glass cases. this goes for ladies or men. The more you pay the better devices you get for your money.
