Update: okay this thing is great! Don’t let your hair get too long and you’re gonna be really surprised! It’s smooth, it’s quick, and I have yet to have any irritation. The first review I posted was with my hair too long (it doesn’t do the best with long hair) but everyday, or every other day growth, this thing takes care of business…the battery life is great too, it doesn’t need to be charged all that often. I’ve used it 4 times now without recharging. I shave with shaving cream, that’s the best way for me…smooth! Also, like in my first review…how to clean it….very simple once you learn how to do it! I can’t go back to my old way of shaving…this is the new standard. It’s not bad…but it’s not great! It struggles to get the hair on the said of the head near the ears…you can see that in the photo. Also…I went ahead and used the device to shave half of my head and then wanted to see how much hair my single blade razor could pick up behind it. You can see that in the sink photo…it’s a quite a bit of hair that my razor was able to pick up. 1. My Hair was a little long when I used this shaver, so that might have some impact on it. 2. I did the second half of my head wet with shaving cream, maybe a little better than the first side that I shaved dry (but still the side of the head had to be touched up with my original single blade razor) 3. I felt some slight irritation on the back of my head on the dry side…which is strange because it doesn’t cut near as close as the razor. 4. Cleaning…that’ll take some getting use to. The blade cases open so you can rinse it off…but it’s never fully clean and how do you dry it? 5. It’s definitely not a one pass type cut…you will be circulating over the same spot a few times…that makes me nervous because it may cause irritation or bumps. Final: it’s not bad, but it’s not great. If I have to use my razor to go back over what I just cut…what’s the point right? If the cleaning is more strenuous than my razor what’s the point?…it’s a bit of a headache but I will need to see how this does when the hair is just slightly long and not as long as It was when I did this first trial.

I'm an African American man and I've been shaving my balding head for many years. With the many methods ive tried, I've suffered burns from depilatories, razorbumps & nicks/cuts from razors. For the last several years I've pretty much settled on using razors and shaving cream. It takes time to get a close shave and it's hard to do so without cutting myself. I eventually grew tired of doing it all the time. Looking for a more convenient and safer method, I decided to give this product a try. I was hopeful but didn't expect too much. I ended up being pleasantly surprised. Since it was waterproof, i decided to just lather up with my favorite shaving gel and cut it on fresh out the box. Man, it felt really good on my scalp. No discomfort, no cutting or nicking, no worries of injury. I went over my scalp with easy circular motions without having to press hard. I cut it off after a few moments wiped away the shaving cream. I was surprised at how good and smooth my head felt. Now it isnt quite as close as a razor but it looks like it and still feels really smooth. No jagged edged hair follicles and no blood from cutting too close. As far as im concerned, it's perfect. :) Also the trimmer attachment and nose trimmer work pretty well. Those are not why i bought this product though. Im just very happy it does what it was made for. I definitely recommend this product! Read more
Price was awesome, good quality. Directions vague on how to clean but once I figured it out it works great. Just make sure you pull the middle cutter out to clean! Size is great and it is portable. Read more
What can I say, it works quite well. Doesn't give a perfect smooth shave when dry but does quite a bit better with shave cream or something to smooth its glide out and stand the hairs up. The image is from one use after doing my whole head once with VERY fine stubble. Be warned it does struggle with too much stubble, you have to shave daily to get this to work well and the motor is not very powerful. It is quite Quiet though, can barely hear it. If you have heavy stubble you might need to clean it several times to keep it from bogging down. I had to go over my head several times with this to get it smooth since I have two issues: 1. I have very fine hair, and 2. It fills up pretty quickly with hair and can bog down the heads. It comes with other attachments and the battery life is good as long as you charge it for 2 hours out of the box. the one I got does not have a digital display like the instructions indicate but it does have a two color LED on it. However the LED goes Green to indicate it is done too soon. I'd suggest ignoring it and stick to a timer if you get this one too. Otherwise I consider this a good buy for the price. Read more
