I've never had an issue using an electric shaver before in regards to patchiness. So next shave I went more detailed and really focused on shaving all parts of my face looking closely in mirror doing so. It took me about double the time my other shavers would, still leaving a weird patchy neck beard that I had to go in with another shaver to clean up. For my face, it works well, I specifically love the side burn shaper, but in terms of full coverage shaving it was not ideal.Another aspect I really enjoyed was how easy the cleanup was. Simply take off the foil razor portion, exposing the inside, use the little cleaning brush provided and maybe blow a few left over stubbles away and BAM your clean.I feel like the more usage of this, the better I will get at it. But from first shave it was not an easy use.

It may be helpful to know that it can take up to three weeks for your skin to adjust to a new shaver. It's best to hold the shaver at a 90 degree angle and stretch the skin to shave against hair growth, changing direction as needed. We suggest using a gentle touch and letting the shaver do the work.

Its so easy to use and clean. Its got nice styling and holds a charge. But...the closeness of the shave just will not cut it. I have a pretty average beard, dark brown, not very heavy and average thickness hair. It seems like I should be able to use this type, but it just doesn't perform as well as a good old fashioned multi-blade razor. When I did try it, it just left me with a 5 o'clock shadow from the start of the day and that just won't cut it for daily use. I will add, I haven't found success with any automatic shaver, so if you are already used to a foil shaver and find that it works well for you, then you'll probably like this unit. It pivots around curves well and if I was blonde it would probably be pretty good. Last try, I figured I'd give it to my wife and see if she likes it, but alas, it didn't meet her needs either. She found that it didn't cut leg hair at all, even after just a few days of growth the very thin hair just seemed to get missed entirely.
