I am wondering how close this cuts? I've read reviews that says you can't get a short stubble.

With the guard attached it will cut down too about 2mm - 3mm on the shortest setting (.5) but I sometimes use it without the guard that will give me results of about 1mm. Without the guard as you would expect there have been some burns n nicks.

My husband gets a really short stubble (about 1/16 of an inch) and super happy about it.

Body/Beard absolutely - the foil shaver while advertised for the body is not top of the line. Personally I use either a 5 blade for that extra close shave.

It trims very close. I use it to shave my head. It cuts very close to the skin. It looks shaved from a few feet away. I'd guess it is about 1 mm or slightly less. If you intend on shaving smooth, it is a very good prep going from longer (1/4 inch or more) to fully shaved head.

Daniel: No clipper is going to give you a smooth shave. It will cut the hairs down to a very short length, but for a smooth shave you'll need a razor or an electric shaver. Still, for cutting hair, trimming beards and nabbing those long hairs that grow on your neck, this clipper is one of the best I've owned. The battery life is simply amazing. I use these clippers to cut my hair once a week down to a 3mm length. Also, used to trim my full beard. After nearly six months of use, I'm just now getting ready to recharge for the second time. Unreal! My last set of clippers didn't last two cuttings and I had to recharge. If you can get past the cost, I highly recommend this product. Daniel: No clipper is going to give you a smooth shave.

I use it for shaving per se but it doesn't give you a close shave. From the moving blade to the tip is about 1mm long. What you'll probably need to do (like me) is use it but use a foil shaver right after for a closer shave.

Yes, gives a very close cut after removing the trimmer attachment. Also very agile for outlining between beard and close shave areas, even in the hard-to-reach and close areas.

The blade works well I've shaved with it 3 times still working well. I do not let hair on my back get over 1/4 inch my hair is also not that course and lf done often I'm guessing it will last longer.

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.

They cut close but it does not shave as it is not a shaver and the cutter is not flexible This would be used to get close before you use a shaver

Shaves very close. I shave with grain, cross grain, then slightly against grain with no issues. Bought one for my 40 year old so. he loves it.

Are you kidding? YES, and it can cut very close depending on how short you want it. Just use one of the attachments, it goes from VERY SHORT to a nice cut about an inch depending on how short U want it. But be careful the blade is very sharp! I hope I answerd your question. HAPPY CUTTING.

I agree on the gentler solution. This is more for detail work in my opinion, gives a nice close shave. Not sure that it's a good choice for what you want to do.

My beard is not very long so hard to say. It's adjustable and if you use the included comb with the longest setting you get about 3/4" length in the direction of growth or about 1/2" against the grain. If your beard is longer than that, you'll be manually trimming. I do that sometimes, and didn't find any trouble with it. HTH.

I use this shaver twice a week to shave as close as possible, and I do not get cut. It's not a fully clean shave like a razor blade, but it gets close to it.

My husband is away until tomorrow and has this with him. I'm not sure of the answer. I do know that he is very, very satisfied with everything on the Head to Toe. I even use it to shave my Dad's head. It gives a nice close shave. If you can wait until Sat., I'll ask him when he gets home.

My wife uses it on her entire face and chin whenever she has hairs that need to be trimmed. No stubbles seem to ever appear after use. So I would say it does an outstanding job. She is always pleased. Hope this helps you.

I'd say the longest this can cut to with the guard is a half inch. Anything longer and I feel you'd need to get something that has a much larger guard. Mostly this is for trimming a short beard/keeping stubble.
