Product Review: Works For Me
Summary: 5 Stars

While every experience is different and personal, this razor has been great for me. I will try to tell you why.

If you are expecting to just yank this unit out of the box and get a great shave, let me know how that goes for you. In general, I have found that you have to sort of "tweak" your shaving routine using this razor (oh, and follow the instructions).

I have read that some people do not like the trimmer. I can see where this might be the case. It's a little less than precision. So, I do not use it myself for all kinds of trimming. However, I do use it as part of my daily shaving routine. For me, it works better if I use the trimmer to go over the entire face first, and then follow up with the electric razor, which then gives me a very close shave (but not so close as to cause bumps). You see, the trimmer actually sort-of scratches the skin a little, which has the effect of dislodging and redirecting hairs that may be trying to grow back into the skin. Then those hairs stand up and can be cut by the razor when it passes over. This may not make sense at first, but trust me, it is the reason I get a good shave and do not get razor bumps. Yes, I would get a good shave without the trimmer, but I get a much better one with it. I do not, however, use it to trim my mustache (but I do use it for my sideburns and back of the neck).

I have to remind myself that the primary purpose of this razor is to keep me from getting razor bumps, and that any trimming job it does, is icing on the cake.

As a testimony, it is 4:03 p.m. as I write this, and my face still feels smooth as a baby's behind, even though I shaved early this morning! Plus, I do not have razor bumps, which I used to have all the time! This shaver has been everything I expected and more. Again, every man is different, and for some, this just does not work. Yet, for me, the problems were minimal-or-non-existent. I got what I paid for, and more...and no, I do not work for this company or any of its affiliates(smile).

Additionally, though some have said they get better results when using a pre-shave lotion, I do not use any lotions or creams before shaving. Some people can do that, but I find it works better for me the other way around...I use those kinds of things (electric shave lotion, toners, aloe-vera, or after-shaves) afterward. When I was doing it the other way, I wasn't getting as close a shave. That said, I have been using this razor for several years now and am 100% satisfied. I have had maybe one or two bumps (no joke) since I started using this razor. I have never known ANY other device to so the same thing, and I've been shaving and experimenting for at least 40 years!

It may be a little loud for some people; I guess, but the noise is nothing, really. I have noticed it more on the trimmer side, but even then, it is not off-putting to me. Besides, I would rather get the fine shave I am getting, than get a worse shave from a quieter model. It may also be good to remember that my opinion is based upon the fact that at the time I bought this unit, I was looking for something less expensive...so a quieter sound may be optional.

Anyway, this works well for me, but I had to learn the best way to do it. I did not have trouble with how the unit worked. It did not eat my skin at any time. It is fast. It does a great job. Incidentally, the battery is incredible, and allows the unit to remain strong for many shaves, especially if you plug it in between shaves...great if you travel a lot!

I hope this helps, if you are trying to decide if this is the one for you. Not everyone will have the same experience, but it may help to know that not everyone has had a nightmare experience either.
Cheers!

Product Review: Unhappy
Summary: 2 Stars

I was very unhappy with this product. I was unable to get a close shave despite using a electric pre-shave face lotion. It pulled at my facial hairs and I needed to press harder than usual against my face to get any type of sufficient shave. I purchased this product to help eliminate the few razor bumps on my face. It only served to irritate my face even more. To top it off, part of the shaver's exterior screen broke off. I would have asked for a refund, if I had not misplaced my receipt.

Product Review: Perfect for shaving your head.
Summary: 4 Stars

I was looking for something other than a razor to shave my head with and I stumbled upon this. I use it along with a pre-shave solution called "Lectric Shave" Lectric Shave Lotion Regular - 7 Oz with green tea Cuts as close as a razor without the irritation! There are two reasons why I did not give it 5 stars. First reason is that it is very, very loud! I have to make sure all the doors to the rooms are closed when I start using it lol. The other reason is that it does not work on my face for some reason. It does a great job on my head but takes nothing of my face. It holds a descent charge but you can plug it into an outlet and use it that way too.

I do recommend this if you are looking for an alternative to a razor when it comes to shaving your head.

Product Review: excellent

Brought for my son he specifically asked for it. He had one before and said he wanted another because it shaves very close and he doesn't get bumps. He is very happy with it. I could only find it anywhere so I am glad for amazon.com.
