Published to rave reviews in the United Kingdom and named a Richard & Judy Book Club selection--the only work of nonfiction on the 2008 list--Blood River is the harrowing and audacious story of Tim Butcher's journey in the Congo and his retracing of legendary explorer H. M. Stanley's famous 1874 expedition in which he mapped the Congo River. When Daily Telegraph correspondent Tim Butcher was sent to Africa in 2000 he quickly became obsessed with the legendary Congo River and the idea of recreating Stanley's journey along the three-thousand-mile waterway. Despite warnings that his plan was suicidal, Butcher set out for the Congo's eastern border with just a backpack and a few thousand dollars hidden in his boots. Making his way in an assortment of vehicles, including a motorbike and a dugout canoe, helped along by a cast of characters from UN aid workers to a pygmy rights advocate, he followed in the footsteps of the great Victorian adventurer. An utterly absorbing narrative that chronicles Butcher's forty-four-day journey along the Congo River, Blood River is an unforgettable story of exploration and survival.Binding Type: Paperback

Highly recommended / Great Product
Color: White
I’m genuinely impressed with this trimmer, especially for the price. The design feels sleek and comfortable to hold, and the cordless charging dock is really convenient. I’ve used it for multiple areas and it works smoothly without pulling or irritating my skin. The ceramic blades feel gentle but still trim effectively, which is a huge plus for sensitive areas.
I also like that it comes with different attachments and guard combs so you can customize the length depending on what you want. The waterproof feature makes it easy to use in the shower and cleanup is quick afterward. Battery life has been great so far and it charges fast.
Overall, this is a versatile, beginner-friendly trimmer that’s easy to use, lightweight, and surprisingly high quality. Great value and definitely worth trying if you want something painless and convenient for everyday grooming.

Powerful little trimmer. It works on my husband's face, my crotch and any place you need a little less hair.

Doesn't always turn on
Color: Black
Sometimes I press the button, the light blinks once, and nothing happens. Then after several tries to turns on. Only the one button and it doesn't work.

Clean good
I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this trimmer is to handle. The design feels lightweight in my hand, and the gray color actually looks really sleek on my counter. The blades work smoothly without pulling, and it gives a neat trim without irritation. I like that it’s simple to clean and doesn’t take up much space in my drawer. The noise level is low enough that it doesn’t feel distracting, and the on/off button is placed in a way that makes it comfortable to use. It’s a straightforward tool that does exactly what I need, and it’s made my routine a lot quicker and more convenient.
