Does it really work to prevent ingrown hairs? I currently trim with a Istubble and every electric razors i've tried cut too close

It has done wounders for me. I generally shave twice in the day and use my after shave immediately following. This razor is low maintenance and I'm happy with my purchase. I suggests that you use some really good shaving cream, something that really lathers your face to reduce your chances of breaking out.

DEFINITELY NOT! Some like it, but I personally prefer shaving with a razor 'cause it leaves the area nice & smooth, as opposed to this shaver which still leaves short short hair. Visually I was like "wow this really works" but when I ran my hand through I could still feel it prickly.. it felt like I'd shaved about one or two days before I actually had. Honestly my boyfriend just liked the razor better -- I know not all guys have the same likes blah blah but that's just to give you a male point of view, I guess. And I mean let's not even talk about shaving down under lol it's just not a comfortable size to use in between the legs. My friend, the one that recommended me this shaver, was like "ohh just use the pop up trimmer!" It was all fun & dandy.. until it pulled on a hair. Honest to God: the startle made me do that little jump (very dangerous with something like that down there) and my eyes even watered. That is something I never EVER want to experience again. Just like you, bikini area was basically the major reason why I wanted this shaver. It was seriously the first thing I shaved when the shaver arrived; unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed /: For the rest, though, like arms & legs, ughh it is SUCH a life saver & WAYY more comfortable than the razor (with the occasional pull, of course). I've also never been cut with this shaver sooo yipee! That's a BIG plus for me. I mean I've even shaved in the car on my way to somewhere. It's super awesome on that note though. Soo.. what I do is just keep the razor in the shower, strictly for bikini use, but that's it. The rest I shave with this shaver (: Hope this helped!

I would agree, these Panasonic shavers are good for those susceptible to ingrown hairs. I used a Braun for years and had many problems with this, but since going to Panasonic it is very rare. These shavers are gentle on the skin and are waterproof so you can use them with shaving gel if needed.

It is the best razor I have found for my face but it does shave close. Don't know if it would irritate your underarms but using it as a wet shaver would probably prevent that. If you can afford it I would go for it.

FWIW ingrown hairs are not caused by curling, but by cutting "too close", that is under the skin. That typically occurs with multiple-blade cartridges, because the first blade grabs and pulls the hair out, while the next ones slice it. The sliced sharp end returns to original position, under the surface of the skin, which then may cause it to grow "through" instead of out of the follicle. One of the points of "returning" to DE razors/blades is to get away from this problem :)

It is not a shaver. It eppilates the hair.. Or pulls it out by the roots. Would be better to wax. This thing caused me to have horrible ingrown hairs. I had to go on antibiotic to get them to clear up. I am an nurse and researched this. It pulls the hair above the skin and breaks it off. UNlike waxing that pulls it completely out. It is painful process, the end result is smooth but the ingrown hairs are awful. I would not recommend this product at all.

I have a pixie cut and it works great keeping it trimmed between cuts. Just use caution not to give yourself a bald spot.

I doubt you can buy an electric razor that gives that close of a shave...only razors will do that. This does give a decently close shave, though I recommend getting a Braun. The beard trimmers on the backside of these suck and pull hair.

Just checked wwith the person who uses it. No. You can shave really close but not " bald".

Are you talking about the guard or the actually trimmer portion? I've never been pricked by the trimmer or the guard and it cuts really well. I have thicker facial hair and it works great.i wouldn't exactly call either the guard or trimmer rounded though

If you're looking for a close shave on your face then I would recommend the Wahl 8061 5-Star Series Rechargeable Shaver Shaper. It's awesome! I use it daily on my face and it doesn't give me any bumps or in-grown hairs. I actually prefer it over using a traditional razor for shaving. The Andis Styliner trimmer won't give you a close shave on your face at all in comparison to the Wahl Shaver Shaper. And I would say the same about the aforementioned products if you're going to use them for cutting your hair too. The Styliner will cut your hair very short to the point where you will just see stubble, but the Wahl Shaver Shaper will leave your scalp smooth and bald just as a razor would (some people say it even cuts closer than a razor). If you opt for the Wahl Shaver, you don't really need to apply that much pressure when using it on your face like a typical electric shaver. It works just fine with little/moderate pressure. It's a very reliable shaver and requires very little maintenance. Every so often you just need to pop off the top portion and brush out all the hairs on the blade and that's it. Once the foil on the top portion starts to wear out (which you will be able to see visibly, this takes a long time by the way) you can just order the replacement foil/blade and pop that right on and you're good to go. I hope this answered your question. If you're looking for something to use for shaving your face you won't be disappointed with the Wahl Shaver. I think it's the best shaver that's available and it's the only one that I use.

It works great on any hair as long as it is short. When I say short the perfect length is just after you trim it with no guard on the trimmer. It'll cut hair that's a little longer but it might take you a little longer. The shaver shaper is intended to cut short hairs and leave long hair alone

This is a trimmer, and not a razor, so don't expect close shaves! Depending on the length that you cut your hair, you may experience some itchiness. Take your time down there!

I don't really get ingrown hairs, but I use a loofa constantly in the shower. Otherwise it seems quite rough. I use it mostly on my arms as I have thick light hair. Hope this helps. It's a pretty good machine.

I don't shave my face..........~wait a minute, I DO shave my face sometimes ~.even though I am a female. Never mind. I think that it should work well for trimming a beard. It cuts the hair evenly. The height of the blade in relation to the guide is adjustable. Please check the range of length of hair that can be cut in relation to how long you wear your beard.

I have found the razor to give a wonderfully close shave but be sure to flush blade when you are shaving and after finishing. Because the blades are so close they seem to retain hair that once hard and in place can make the next shave rough. If you do flush completely they last as long or longer than two blade razors and many times closer than any electric I have ever used!

I have trimmed mine slightly, seems to work better for me. I have yet to try without trimming.
