Bought one a few years ago and it fell out the cupboard while looking for something else. Needed a shave so gave it a spin. Amazed it still had charge, but very painfull to use. Several passes needed, the heads got hot, and it pulled out more than it cut.

How does anyone use these things?

Now I remember why it got slung in the cupboard.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Your not supposed to use it on your lady bits! 

[chrisgixer]

H wouldn't have that

[Andy B]

they were designed for a normal beard growth .......

No, you're probably a bit ham fisted without a torque wrench.   

Anyway, I said your lady bits, not your lady's bits.....

If you've got a chin like Bluto it probably will struggle. Have you thought of trying an angle grinder?

Last used one of those in 1993 iirc don't recall it being much cop then...

[chrisgixer]

It is fairly modern.

Rechargeable, water proof, 3 flexi heads. ...and going on eBay with all the other shite already on there.

I've had a few in the past, including the Remington versions of it. They take getting used to like all shavers that use a different cutting technique to what you have been used to.

Personally, on the rare occasions I use electric, I find that type better that the traditional type, but different things suit different people.

By preference, I use a normal wet shave...  ...whilst laying in the bath

[Kevin Wood]

Bit of a marmite thing. I get on really well with them and haven't used anything else for donkey's years.

Really CBA with wet shaving and I find a Philishave as close as you can get on the electric side but I recall being disappointed at first until I got the measure of it. You do need to disassemble and clean out the heads periodically and they do go blunt with time. Their cost is such that you might as well change the whole shaver then, and keep the new one as a spare.

£15 pair of hair clippers, start at your chin and finish when you've gone completely over your head. Job done in five minutes and you never need to visit a barber again to boot.

Surely the result then is the 'Nookie Bear' look?

False economy Aaron...you have to buy polish to keep that shiny look all over

  nah, polish only required if you use a Bic all over .. but that's a pain in the hole as hair hear is so much finer than beard hair the razor clogs every five seconds if you've gone more than a day or two between shaves.

Clippers just leaves a fuzz of stubble all over.  The only downside being for folks without leather seats - it's a lot like velcro when freshly clipped and your head gets stuck to the headrest
