I was pleasantly surprised
[[VIDEOID:196aee9ee5552fd2737b70d726cb32cc]] I bought this as an electric shaver for my legs. I'm black and have coarser hair and I think it worked well.  It's not as close as a razor but to the naked eye you can't tell. It kind of feels like the stubble from a day old shave. But like I said I was impressed. You do have to go over an area several times but it didn't bother me.<br /><br />There was no discomfort. There were only a couple times when it seemed to catch and the pinch was very minor. I used large circular or long sweeping motions and it was like getting a leg massage. You can do it while watching tv. I shaved on dry legs (which were extremely ashy so don't judge me) but I want to try it in the shower since it claims to be waterproof. I also love the attachments. I used the trimmer blade to do my bikini area.<br /><br />The only drawbacks are A) The housing for the blades is hard to open to for cleaning, especially the middle blade. You have to twist it counterclockwise and lift. It's also hard to put back in place. B) The instructions for removing the attachments isn't clear. I was scared I was going to break the thing trying to get them off the unit (turns out you just pull them out with a little force and pop them in, no twisting).<br /><br />All in all for $20, I would definitely recommend.
