does the job well, 14 July 2013

I've not found a better shaver that is wireless and rechargeable. I did not want a battery one as in my experience they run out so quickly. The head on this shaver is slightly flexible which is good for going around the knee and ankle areas. It isn't good for the bikini line or other smaller areas, but for larger areas, such as legs, it is fine. Sometimes you need to go over a couple of times as with all electric shavers so be aware of that.

Your choice maybe whether first you should even go with an electric shaver as opposed to normal razors. So just a few notes on that: Benefits are the electric ones avoids a shaving rash. Big one for me as I have PCOS and very sensitive skin. This doesn't hurt at all in comparison to the wreck my legs looked like after ordinary razor use. Cons are takes a little longer than shaving. Having said that however (and this will also count as a pro) there is no need for a shower and no need for shaving cream so in that sense it is quick and...

The Best System for sensitive skin, 19 Jan. 2012

I purchased this shaver a few months ago now and was amazed as I wanted a new way! I was used to waxing that I dont particularly like and hate the re-growth periods in between waxes and hence decided it was time for a change. I spent alot of time researching the products available and finally settled on this one because of the other reviews, as it claimed to be good for sensitive skin which I have quite alot of problems with. I would recommend it as it suits me down to the ground.

Gentle, but doesn't seem very effective, 2 Aug. 2011

My immediate reaction was that it was indeed very gentle on the skin. This impression was quickly followed by the realisation that it appears to be remarkably inefficient at cutting hair, and in order to actually shave my legs, I had to press down to such an extent that there was no obvious comfort advantage over a standard manual razor (and even so, it was not nearly as efficient, and required several passes to shave all the hair off).

it seems simple enough to use (just one on-off button), so I can't imagine that I'm using it incorrectly. And my hair is not particularly coarse (in fact, it is pretty fine). So I'm a bit bemused. These things must work, or they wouldn't sell - but I really could not see any advantage over a standard razor. Except of course that there is very little chance of nicking yourself. But I seldom nick myself while shaving anyway, and the trade-off doesn't seem worth spending 20 times (literally) as long to shave your legs as you would...
