This is not a shaver. It cuts closely, but not as close as a razor. I trim my whiskers (Castro had a beard, Marx had a beard, etc.; but Gabby Hayes had wiskers - George Carlin) one or two times a week. It works great for this. It leaves the equivalent of a day's growth (your day's growth may vary).
Useless now that the battery does not charge. At first, it was an amazing product. Went through my beard like hot butter. No razor rash. For the price, it is not worth it now that the battery does not charge. Left it charging overnight and now works for 20 secs...
I bought this trimmer to keep my beard trimmed. The 5 mm is a little too short for me. I would like to see a 7mm and 9 mm attachment available for longer beards. The trimmer itself works well and I am still on the first charge. The replacement blades seem a bit expensive.
YES! I shave my face, head, underarms, groin, all with this simple shaver, and no shaving cream from the neck up! This blade doesn't even leave the rash, dry, that I used to get from my previous shaver. It's not a skin close shave, but I don't think it was really meant to be. If you like a little stubble or you are just trimming a beard, it'll be the best money you've spent on a shaver/blade.
Pros: versatile, does the job, excellent cutter
Cons: takes some time if you're shaving a large area
I got this as a gift from my wife for Christmas. I like that it is compact and easy to use. It works better than the higher dollar razor had had in the past and shaves better. I don't have to go over and over the same area to get a clean shave. Love it.
