How good is this razor with African American hair----Anthony

I'm African American and i can tell you that it works perfectly on my head and facial hair perfectly. My wife just got me this Norelco as a gift for Christmas. I have been using a razor since 1993 when i joined the military, and for the first time in my life i'm looking forward to leaving my expensive Gillette razors behind. My head and neck were just as smooth as using a razor and the trimmer cuts close enough for neat lines on my beard.( and ZERO razor burn!). I did wait about a week and a half between shaving with a razor and this for a better transition. I am impressed!

Works good on ALL Americans. Doesn't discriminate. An American is an American.

I got my husband this razor recently with the Croma blade. The customer service rep at The Luxury Barber told me that those blades were the best kind and straight from Germany. My hubby loves it so far... he says they work great!

Good Evening, The Merkur is very reliable and one of the smoothest shaves I have had from razors. Pimples will be irritated with any razor you buy, less so with a one blade than with more blades which will likely cause the pimply razor burn mess. I hope that helps.Good Day.

Not an aggressive razor. This model gives a very comfortable shave. My facial hair is soft. I give this razor 5 stars.

No. I've looked everywhere as I find it the best electric rasor there is and I've been using electric razors since 1965. If you find suitable alternative please email

I wouldnt trade my gillette fusion proglide power razor for a DE razor. My face has never felt so smooth after i have shaved with it and other razors have never made my face feel so smooth like this blade does. I wouldnt trade that for the world. Plus one blade cartridge last me a whole month so 4 months of smooth shaving ill take it

My husband really likes it; his face doesn't look scraped like it did when he used the triple-blade razor. It seems very well constructed, solid and well balanced in his hand. He especially prefers the butterfly style when changing blades and cleaning the razor. He used the blades that came with it, said they were 'pretty good' but he really likes the others I purchased - 100 Astra Superior Premium Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades. They are very thin/sharp, making it easy to cut through his heavy beard. He has not lost any blood! :>)

Yes it is, sorry about the delayed response. I will sell it to you for $28 shipped to you. It was used 10 times to allow my face to adapt to the new razor, but honestly I can lather up and shave with a blade faster. I shave every other day because of sensitive skin, so it may work better daily. Good luck with your search.

No, it's not a razor, but an electric *shaver*, so it does not give you nearly the same smooth legs a razor blade would. I have dark brown hair and while I can feel a bit of stubble, there is nothing visible. The longer you use this shaver, the softer the stubble gets. After about a month you'll notice a difference as your hair gets used to being shaven this way. My legs feel pretty nice after using it.. and my husband likes it, so no complaints from me!

No, it is not. I've tried and tried to use this razor only to be frustrated every time. In my opinion the razor is junk.

I am brown-skinned and I find this shaver admirable -- especially if your package includes an extra head that is pricey (I did). I do not know of African-Americans have thicker hair!

This razor is very nice for fit and finish quality. I actually ordered it as my first de razor, but found it a bit too short with the handle length the whole razor barely covered the palm of my hand. I actually ordered and use to this day the Merkur HD I liked the barber pole handle length and weight. I prefer the closed comb and recommend you check into the differences in closed and open comb before ordering a razor.

I think it's a good buy because it's cost effective and gives you a good lather no matter what razor you use. I've used single, double, triple, quadruple and the Gillette Pro-Glide with Proraso, and I have always experienced a good shave. I especially like the new Sandalwood scent.

I've seen an improvement over my old cartridge razor. The biggest thing is finding the right blade that works for your skin type. Once you figure that out its a lot better. The razor is great I've really been happy with it. I've had it about 8 months.

Yes, I am African American. I just used it for the first time...I love it. It feels great in my hand and leaves my hair silky soft. I would suggest the one with the digital screen and heat dials, so you can adjust the heat setting. Purchase the Argan oil to go with it too, cuz you only get a sample with the flat iron.
