This Shaver cuts my neck slightly while shaving. Is that normal?

I have no problem with cuts on my next. However I have used Norelco for many years, so perhaps my skin has adapted.

I have "burned" my neck before. What I can only assume is trying too push to hard on the softer skin and actually leaving it red and raw So I don't get that aggressive any more.

If you stretch your neck, to make your skin taut, the shaver should not nick you.

The shaver doesn't cut my neck when shaving, but I have been using Norelco 3-head shavers for years. I would suggest using less pressure in the neck area, and repeat several times.

I wish I could help with a good answer, I have used Norelco for many years, and never had that problem, but I do make sure I pull my skin tight with my other hand when using the shaver on my neck.

I undersand your concern, I am not a fan of those moving shaver heads either, yet this model does not have this feature, the shaver head on this model does not move at all :-).

It does vibrate rather strongly... it is a Strong motor for such a small device. As long as it makes a smooth sounding humming noise while you shave... then it is operating Perfectly. Please Remember that After EACH use you should spray the blade with Andis Lubricant.

Not that I'm aware of. Just put the blade in, and there it is. Shaves really close, so be careful.

Doris,I am 77 and have used safety razors, and electric shavers over the years. This Norelco does an adequate job, and does not bother my skin. However, it seems underpowered in comparison to my previous one, and I'm not sure it does as good a job.N. W. Courtney

No, I bought the shaver to keep daily growth down as I like to use a blade only twice a week,but it wouldnt even cut small hair growth off let alone trim it. The shaver was always empty.I looked it over carefully, and it didnt seem damaged in any way. Just doesnt work.

there have been times when I have used it after shaving but it will sometimes sting a little bit. even waiting till Opposite end of the day that you shaved is helpful.

I have found that if my razor blade is new it doesn't make much difference. I have experienced a little pull with both damp and dry hair. Damp hair seems to provide a somewhat better cut, so I have am real careful with the setting so I don't cut more than I want. Mostly it is just trial and error a little at a time.

Yes it is, sorry about the delayed response. I will sell it to you for $28 shipped to you. It was used 10 times to allow my face to adapt to the new razor, but honestly I can lather up and shave with a blade faster. I shave every other day because of sensitive skin, so it may work better daily. Good luck with your search.

Honestly you don't have to just make sure the blades clean, but I just the blade about every 3 shaves so it's getting fully cleaned Hope that helps

No it does not matter at all. I actually flip the blade over after a couple of shaves. Happy shaving

Laura, re your question, I am not sure. I like the razor as it has 3 different shaving screens and I use the closest shaving one. If I let my beard grow out more than a few days then I use the trimmer to cut it shorter then I use the razor part.I like the razor except for the switch problem. Maybe you can try it out and if happy with results, great. If the results are not good, be sure to return it within 30 days for Amazon return.

Yes, it curves slightly. I know what you're saying, the top piece pulls the blade into it's shape. You need to make sure it's tightened and not loose, but try not to tighten it to the point of being hard to shave with. Hope that helps.

I'm Caucasian, but I'll describe what I know. My chin and jaw line have very coarse hair, usually feels like sandpaper in 4-6 hours after shaving. The shaver plows through and feels 2nd only to a blade shave. My neck hair has a nasty curl to it. I get ingrown hairs frequently. The shaver takes a bit of work on the neck and some patience but does great there too. If this is similar to your concerns, I'll offer my routine...shave the neck, if anything remains use the trimmer to catch stray hairs and shave it again. Works like a charm. Hope this helps.

I guess mine is pretty loud too...its definitely not the quietest electric razor. Comparing the noise to other hair trimmers devices though rather than razors makes it seem about normal in how loud it is...it is more similar to the noise of other hair trimmers.

One further note of interest. I find that with the razor attachment in place,that turning the razor on,causes it to vibrate such that it significantly enhances & smoothes shaving.Enjoy,& don't forget to frequently open & clean out the cutting head,so your trimmer won't bog down.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea. I've used this style of Remington shaver for several years and never had a problem like that.
