Summary: 5 Stars
UPDATE: Been using this for several weeks now. Works awesome. I've been using this for facial hair as well. Honestly, this is probably the best and versatile shaving system I've had. I'm definitely a fan.

Mainly using it in the nether regions. The saving foil attachment worked well over loose skin area. Just remember to put the attachment on the trimmer(non shaving foil attachment) before you start saving. You might get some bad nicks if you don't. The saving foil attachment worked awesome as-is.
Product Review: Great shaver for face, mustache/beard, and chest!
Summary: 5 Stars
It seems "T.J." gave probably the most imformative and accurate review that I read; however, he doesn't mention specifically using it on the facial area, and he makes no mention of battery performance either, so if you are interested in my experience on these...read on: So far I love this thing to death! Best $46 I think I ever spent! As a disclaimer and to be fair though, I haven't used it in the shower yet, so can't comment on wet usage. Also, I haven't used it below the waist but sparingly; however it performed perfectly down there too...so far.
What I REALLY love is the fact that I have found a shaver that I can use on my face without it causing a rash and/or razor burn. If the hair on my face is longer than 1/8" or so, I just go over it with one of the micro trimmers first (there is one on either side of the foil attachment), then I go back over it with the foil until it's nice and smooth. Voila! No razor burn! I USED TO HAVE a Norelco rotary, triple-head shaver, and that thing just played Hell on my neck! THIS ONE, being a "foil" head design though, I think is mainly where the difference between the two results is gained. No razor burn, plus it gives a nice clean shave too......Hoooooorrah!! A++++
Now, about battery life: The battery type is a NiMH, which is better than the "old style" NiCd rechargeables. Instructions say 50 minutes of use from an 8 hour charge, but from my experience.....this seems inecredibly underrated, and actually lasts much longer. I read somewhere that occasionally discharging batteries fully, can extend their life. After fully charging and using mine for the first time, I turned it on and left it running to fully discharge the battery before REcharging it again. That thing ran for at least an hour longer before it ran out of juice, and that was after having just used it for 30 minutes! After charging it fully a second time, I haven't charged it since then; that was several shaves/uses ago, however...your mileage may vary.
Also regarding the battery: It says not to store it on the charging base so that it won't be constantly charging, but for ease of use...I do JUST that.....however, I turn it slightly in it's base to where the "charging" contacts don't make contact with each other, and therefore it's not actually charging ("charging" indicator light not on). Solves the problem of unplugging the thing.
Product Review: Great so far...
Summary: 5 Stars
Great value, as it was relatively cheap for what it is, and functions perfectly. The design is also very nice, and I like the fact that you don't have to have a cord hanging out of it most of the time - bought it a month ago and it's still holding its first charge.
