I like this much better than chemicals. Use with fine cornstarch for shaving and you get a great shave. Switched to this from waxing.

This shaver DOES NOT make the area hair-free smooth. It is only meant to get a super close shave for bikini lines/neatness and in that aspect, it does it's job.

Just saw this post - and I was wondering the same thing! My SO uses Gillette Fusion/ProGlide and they are $30 for pkg of 8. Ugh! They shave very well, but *really* do they have to cost that much? Plus, he's a twice-a-day shaver, so he goes through a lot of blades.

I have used this epliator on my bikini area and it works great! I start with the sides first and work in small areas at a time. I use one hand to stretch my skin and hold the epilator with the other. The general bikini area was all fine...even around the inside of my legs! After I had all that done, I moved farther down to my more sensitive areas... This definitely stings more and you really need to make sure you are stretching the skin but it works amazing, just like the under arms and legs. This thing is powerful but as long as you use it correctly, it's like magic! :)

Well more than anything these machines are used for shaping up not really for shaving a whole head if you are looking for something like that u might want to try the Andis master clippers or even the whal seniors machines that are of great quality and are made for that type of job :) hope this helped

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.

No. The trimmer will take a very close shave and is not meant to do a full grooming. This trimmer runs on 2 AA batteries and when it is on for a while, they need turned off to cool down. Made for a touch up trim only. If you are going to do a grooming, buy some grooming shears. I like Andis personally.

Actually it DOES have a trimmer in the back that pops up that works reasonably well. I use it when I need to quickly outline my beard. It doesn't trim\outline as crisp as my Andis T-edger or Wahl 3080 but it gets the job done. I purchased mine last August, so the only caveat with my information is that perhaps the newest model that the previous responder purchased could have been changed by the manufacturer. I would suggest going to Wahl's site and confirming.

Hi Idlewood, I too am a non professional home groomer. After reading many blogs and watching many videos I think using combs is in many ways safer than a bare blade which heats up and burns the skin if not cooled often. If your clipper comes with combs, try to not buy a set which has all the sizes you get with the clipper. Ive used these combs and like them very much. They are put on opposite from the combs I'd used in the past.

I've had the trimmer for over a year and it still works fine. I have been using it to trim my neck after a haircut and it feels pretty smooth. It comes with adapters that help adjust the length of the haircut but it is definitely not like using a razor blade if you are looking for extra smooth cut.

I purchased BG2030 trimmer from Amazon in 2010 for $47.99. They obviously realized people were will to pay far more. As for the trimmer, it is fantastic and that includes the trimming of facial hair. That is, if you want to knock down a beard before shaving or if you're into the two day growth look. I believe there insistence that it not be used for facial hair reflects their desire to sell products specifically designed, and marketed, for that purpose.

You can certainly use an epilator for the bikini area and beyond. Just choose one that is smaller and easily fits into the area to be epilated. Also trim the area first and take some tylenol!

Does anyone know of a trimmer that will cut longer lengths than the maximum 18mm that is shown here. I've noticed that other trimmers max out at 18mm as well?

I'm not sure what brand the other trimmers I used were. I just know the Toilettree is the best one I ever used...

The trimmer is not for shaving. I use it a lot to trim hair on the side. I find it better than the clipper. The clipper seems to have a problem with the motor.

It's not the greatest at getting close to the root for the bikini area (however it does get better there after using it a while because the hair gets used to it). However, it has never cut me in any way. It has never given me razor burn either. I love it!

this has been my answer to bump free bikini zone. hands down this has been a life saver. i can use it every day before putting on a swim suit. IMPORTANT that you have short hair to start with!!! so go SLOW SLOW SLOW with the pop out trimmer first.. it will snag on the long hairs if you go too fast. I use it DRY.
