Nice sized shaver but lacking some desirable features
This rechargeable electric razor does look and feel cheap as others have mentioned. I do like the shape of it as it is easy to hold. I wish there was some texture on the body to provide a better grip. I used this to shave the bikini area and I thought it did a great job. The size of the shaver head was perfect for me for that area (much easier to maneuver compared to my old battery standard sized shaver head which I'd been using for years). I didn't experience any snagging of the hair as others have mentioned. The hair was pretty long but I just went over it with a light hand until it got short and then I got a close shave. I like that one side of the blade is curved for the under arms and bikini area (although I did those areas just fine with the straight side too). I think the biggest thing that I don't like is the way the blade/ foil is removed in order to clean. Mine was a mess inside because there was some kind of lubricant/vaseline type substance in there and the hairs were all stuck. I had to wipe all that gunk out. It wasn't the easiest the clean compared to my old shaver. I feel like this new one is not really meant to be cleaned or it would've had a better design to open up the shaver head. Another issue is that this is not to be used in or around water which is kind of inconvenient. I think the only thing I would put under water is the blade/foil once it's removed from the body. I wouldn't trust rinsing it under water while attached to the body like they show in the product video. On my unit when the blade/ foil is removed, I see a little piece of sponge/ foam in the center and underneath that it looks like it's opened into the handle. Definitely don't want to get water in there. I wish there was an included protective cover like my other shaver. I like that it is rechargeable by using the included micro USB cord. The handle glows red when it's charging and turns off when it's done. There is more to be desired but it gets the job done so it's not a total waste. I also don't know why the box says 'epilator' because it is not.
