I used one of these (finishing touch lumina) a couple of days ago for the first time. My peach fuzz had to go...now. I am also blonde fair skinned and of a certain age. :-) I did not press it against my skin while using. I just floated it over my skin as lightly as possible. Afterward you do notice a difference in how the hair feels - it has just been blunt cut, so it has a slightly less smooth feeling. I was completely shocked by how much fuzz came off. I'll take a teeny difference in the way that hairs feels versus a big difference in being able to see it. I read an article from American Family Physicians website ( http://www.aafp.org/afp/2002/1115/p1907.html ) that says "Shaving does not change the thickness or growth rate of human hair. Rather, the rough-textured, beveled edge that shaving produces (compared with the softer, tapered tip of uncut hair) may give the appearance of thickening. Although shaving is a useful and safe method of facial hair removal (and the chief method chosen by men), it is not popular among women. Side effects of shaving are generally minimal. Irritation, often caused by components of the shaving lubricant, and minor cuts can occur. Pseudofolliculitis barbae, caused by the ingrowth of curly hair, is also a fairly common side effect in some ethnic groups." Since I am not "clean shaving" by trying to remove the hair at or below the surface, my facial hair is not curly, nor am I using any shaving product, I don't expect to experience ingrown hairs. So far, I'm completely happy about my choice to "just do it". Best of luck!

I don't know as I threw out the box and paper work.Have you 1. cleaned and oiled the blades after using 2. Taken the blade off and cleaned it and the white shaft that moves the blade and if you have removed the blade have you reinstalled it correctly as instructed. I have fine hair and and use it every other day around my ears, sideburns and mustache and clean and oil the blade each time.Also once a week I remove the blade and clean inside. With this maintenance I have not had any problems and am very pleased with the trimmer. Best of Luck David PS The 2 screws holding the blade to the trimmer can easily strip.

I was not allowed to publish my dissatisfaction with this product the 1st time I purchased it.The machine works great on men's coarser hair and gives long lasting results.Unfortunately my 1st one stopped working after a couple of months.I'm hoping for better luck this time

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 agree. It's very noisy. Much more so than previous Panasonics and Braun.Also, for me it did not shave well, wet or dry. Another problem is that the shaver heads get HOT and uncomfortable, soon after you start shaving.

I've been using it for about 18 months now and there are some places where the hair doesn't grow back so the answer is yes, in some cases. For example, hair growth on my legs is about 80% sparser and takes a lot longer to grow back. Maintenance for me is much less frequent. I've used it on my legs, arms, underarms, and neck/face and am happy with the results.

Yes... I have been using this faithfully for a year and a half... my hairdresser asked me after I had been using it for 6 months, if I had been cutting some of my hair... I had new regrowth that was almost an inch long... has worked for me. Maybe all situations are not the same.. I had very thinning hair... it has filled in, my part is not wide like it was.

Hello, I would not recommend you to use it in the face since it is not made for that purpose and you can find in amazon face hair trimmer with less than 100$ like Philips ,Panasonic or Braun and any of them will do a good job .

Sorry - Just a little late here, but since I doubt you've grown back your hair (neither have I), then you are still looking for the elusive shaver to master 3x as many tough spots as the average bro. I love the Panasonic Vortex on my face, neck, and head. I have used rotary shavers, and most recently had been a loyal Braun consumer. So I have experience with all kinds. I got 5 years out of my first Braun, but since the last one barely made 2 years (not very long IMHO for a $150 shaver) I decided to look around. LOVE the Panasonic. I like it 2x as much as the Braun. I get nearly as close a shave from it as I do with a Gilette Fusion.

I would agree, these Panasonic shavers are good for those susceptible to ingrown hairs. I used a Braun for years and had many problems with this, but since going to Panasonic it is very rare. These shavers are gentle on the skin and are waterproof so you can use them with shaving gel if needed.

Justin, I didn't see any improvement with continued use. Not sure if it would work on facial hair.

YESSSSS!!!!! Thats why I only used it once! I'll keep it for the trimmer aspect, but I won't used the epil part on my legs ever again. I have thick coarse hair on my legs, almost all of them came back ingrown and it took forever to get rid of those red bumps. It works well for me on the face though.

I have been using this product for about two months and my barber has seen growth on the back of my head last time I was there.I was really looking at the front of my head this morning and I see new hair starting to grow. I hope this was helpful to you

For the last couple of years I have been using the Gillette Mach 3 daily during my morning shower to shave my head and face and have to say for me it does the trick. Like lots of active blokes I have scars and bumps to deal with and as long as I don't rush I get a clean shave each time.
