So now I've had the ManGroomer for a while and like how it works. It's not lightning fast, and I find that the handle gets in the way sometimes, but it works well overall with little irritation (very nice feature). I recommend it. :-)

I use it on my chest, legs and underarms as well. It works really well and a lot quicker than any of my other shavers. The blade is HUGE!

I've actually used it as a facial trimmer when I'm in a hurry and/or too lazy to get out a real trimmer (though it could cause some irritation around the neck area). Don't get it for your back if you have more than a few upraised moles (unless you like shredding them for cheap and aren't worried about cancer).

yes you can use it in that area. Just go slow...no sudden movements. I would also recommend shaving cream or soap to help.

I'll be blunt. Until you get the hang of it, not really. I'm about 30 shaves in with this and feel like I'm just starting to get the hang of it. My ingrown hairs came along my neck because my beard grows left to right from ear to ear. It's much more difficult to shave there with this style razor compared to a Double Edge (The razor that your grandpa used) for that type, but I am at the point now where I do not get ingrown hairs. My wife has noticed and commented on this.

I have used all models. This one is the least likely to nick or chaffe the skin due to the flexible head. If you pull the skin taut while shaving the private areas it's more likely to pull or nick the skin. Of course their is no perfect way, I've just learned from lots of nicking myself. Staying clean with a few nicks still beats the alternative.

Where did you find this article about ingrown hairs and this razor? Cuz that is mainly why i am purchasing this razor. I will be more than happy to let you know how it does on mine once i get it.

I tried it on face yesterday. I was expecting some pain but I didn't feel any. So I hope it epilated my face hair not cut it. I am not sure using on face is good idea but it works really well on rest of your body.

I read some on-line posts about this and I have been using a short stroke, since this head does not pivot, it helps keep the blade angle correct. I Use a good quality shave lotion instead of foam from a can, with lots of warm water, usually straight from the shower. I blead a little at first but once I got the hang of it my wife and I both love the closeness of the shave.

In my opinion, it depends on how much unwanted hair is present. And, if your legs are exposed because you are wearing shorts, you may consider shaving every two to three days in the summer time and in the winter, maybe once a week. This electric razor does not work very well and barely shaves the leg hair. I would not recommend this model.

It works pretty good, the handles stretch but not too much, It would work better for me if it was not so long because I am short/petite. The lotion is not as rubbed in as well as I would like it may be because it is a little long for me, but it gets the lotion to the spots that I can't reach and if you work at it the lotion is rubbed in/absorbed.

I used it for the first time last night. I leaves a little stubble, but is far faster and safer than the devices I have used in the past. Plus, leaving a little stubble means it will itch less later. I like it, so far. And, the website is the coolest thing ever (www.shaveeverywhere.com)

I use this shaver mainly to get my back hair under control. It looks and feels alot better than being a gorilla. I have chest hair, just keep it cropped and it looks much better and stills shows off my pecs. Eventually I used it to trim my public hair, short but not shaved. I instantly look like I'm more endowed than I am. My wife likes it.

There is a happy medium. For example, a week after shaving/epliating is good but two weeks hurts horrible. All in all this model was painful, I returned it.

This product is good for areas that are not very large (like underarms) but I also experienced the same issue. I have recently purchased an emjoi epilator with more rotating heads and that is giving me better results but not as smooth as shaving.

I only ever use this, i hate the stubble of shaving and over time the hairs get thinner and less. I am not sure how to help but I don't shave my legs at all now, ever just use an epilator. It has to be 90 degrees against the skin and go slow and multiple times...that's all i can advise. It will rip some of the hair, that's just the way it is it will never be perfect but for me it's so worth it because the hair come back thinner and less visible if you miss some. The issues with ingrowns is also there so a exfoliating scrub helps. I wax in the winter too and I will never go back to shaving. I hope it works out for you.

It is great on legs. It is rather awkward for other areas as the razor head is rectangular. The only other "con" is that the battery does not seem to stay charged for more than 2-3 days. The razor runs, but the motor sounds slower on day three that it did right after being charged all night. (the directions say it should have a 20 minute running time, but I don't know about that) I hope this is helpful.

I noticed your e-mails this morning. Most of the time I grow my goatee and shave it down to where it looks like it's been there a couple days. But I was curious myself. I Shaved yesterday morning and this morning when I shaved it took about half of it off. It was pretty darn close have a good day I hope this help PS I normally just use the number two attachment myself.

May be 1 inch or so? I prefer to have little bit longer hair on the legs before using it. I guess it's because it's so much pain to do it on the legs and I would want to wait til the last min before I need it. For my under arms, it doesn't hurt at all. I will do it whenever I feel like I want to be clean. I would say I use it on my underarms once a week and legs twice a month.
