Body shaving for everyone? I can understand a guy shaving his body if he's in great shape and wants to show it off. What if he isn't? I'm a little overweight but I've shaved before and enjoyed the way it looks and feels a lot. I suppose it shouldn't really matter what anyone else thinks then, but I'm curious to know what opinion you might have. Body shaving for everyone?

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.

I have gotten as many as eight good shaves out of one blade. Beyond that number, the shaves start leaving more spots that the alum tends to indicate after the shave. I don't have course whiskers, and sort of tender skin. I do use pre-shave oil and usually lather up with Neutrogena bar soap, and follow up with the alum treatment. Very nice blades and they work nice for me. I only shave my face, not the whole head.

I have primarily used the Epilady for my legs, so I can't comment on other areas. If you are accustomed to shaving, the first use will not be painless. It is similar to a waxing. But, thereafter, you mostly feel a prickly sensation, much less than plucking your eyebrows, and your hair doesn't grow back for about a month. I would choose Epilady any day over waxing or shaving. When your hair grows in, it is very fine and barely noticeable. You also don't get the itching that occurs when hair is growing in after shavng.

I shave everyday and usually flip the blade halfway through the week. Most of them will last a week or a little more. Every blade is different as is everyone's shaving demands. However the blades are far cheaper so theres the pay off.

It seems many like Shark, but at least for my DE razor they are my least favorite. Lord is a brand I like a lot better and it comes in half blades also. I normally shave with Feather, but my other favorites, not sure if they com in halves, are Gillette Goal. My point is just that if you haven't tried Lord, I think you should, then come tell me what you think. :) Maybe this is different for a single edge razor though.

It works great on the private areas, no nicks but a nice close shave. one of the best shavers I've ever had for shaving any area of the body. works good on men or women as mine has been used by both.

I would say..... No; probably not a good idea. I would guess it would be quite painful. It's better to pull the skin taut, especially when you are first using after you have been shaving, and that would be difficult.

It works very well for ladies. A friend of mine with nice legs saw me using the shaver on my face. She asked me to try it on her legs. She said it gave her one of the smoothest leg shaves she's ever had.

Good Evening, The Merkur is very reliable and one of the smoothest shaves I have had from razors. Pimples will be irritated with any razor you buy, less so with a one blade than with more blades which will likely cause the pimply razor burn mess. I hope that helps.Good Day.

Hi, I bought this product and after charging it and while i was reading the instructions, I noticed that i bought the wrong one. I need one for shaving, not for body grooming. I would like to know if I can replace it for one to shave my beard. The only thing is the receipt wasnt in the box, but i can attach the email from amazon. Thank you so much for your comprehension.

I have really rough facial hair, and I have to say NO to this shaver. It does not shave close and you will always have a rough feeling. The reason may guys don't have bumps is because the razor does not shave close. Great for us, but hated by the women. My woman likes me to have a very smooth face, but you won't get it with this shaver.

Directly above the question and answer section of this webpage, under the product marketing, benefits, 1st bullet point is "Say goodbye to unwanted body and facial hair". I might call the manufacturer and ask then to explain the conflicting statements if that is what the instruction booklet states.

I know of no reason that you can't use it for all areas of the body. It is use in lieu of shaving cream so any place you use shaving cream, you should be able to use Shave Secret.

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.

It did not get great results but surely got additional 4-5 shaves for me. I think results would vary with individual as preference for smooth shave varies. You may buy it if your expectations are tempered.

All the products are ok for women to use. That's pretty general right? Even testosterone, if that was your thing. But that shouldn't be any women's thing.This product may be too much in terms of unnecessary ingredients for what you need. If women need energy and motivation, they may not beneift from the products "pump" ingredients.This is what gives some guys that "bowed" up feeling to motivate them to lift heavy weights, women may not need that and for guys, many of us, these products are good and bad.Some of them make us loose. I'll leave you with that to figure out if it affects you, but needless to say "loose" not in terms of any social interaction situations. :) All the products are ok for women to use.

This razor is a great option if you are willing to take your time with it. Don't apply pressure let the razor do the work. Other wide you will end up cutting your face to ribbons. If you have moles etc yes you will slice them off if you slide the razor over them. Go around them on your main pass then clean up the hair around problem area. I recommend going to YouTube and watch a video on how to shave with a de razor your face will thank you. Great razor you'll love it nothing but good
