can it be used as a shaver for beard removal, like a regular shaver?

I don't think so. Don't think it'd be a very close shave; not what it's designed to do. Nothing beats a razor. Best of luck!

No. I bought this to remove a 1.5 week beard. It was not pleasant - it pinches a bit. Works much better moving into the beard than away from it. It leaves a stubble equivalent to about two days growth for me. A razor was necessary, but it was much easier to use because the trimmer had removed most of the beard, which reduced clogging of the razor.

Yeah, it would work well as a beard trimmer. It's a good blade. It just has a serious design flaw in the case, so be gentle when extending it.

I have no experience with a shaved head, but this has been awesome for my chin. My problems with razor bumps have been dramatically reduced. With that said, I should say that I DON'T use it as a trimmer . I like to keep a separate tool that's just for trimming.

It can, but it will not be a close shave. You will have stubble, about 1/8 cm long. No one will notice, but you will feel it if you rub your hand over it. For me, this has been a great product, though.

I would not recommend using the Braun Silk Epil razor to remove facial hair.

This Panasonic one is good for shave the beard. but I'm not sure it work for non-bearded areas. Sorry.

it doesn't give a shave as good as a shaver, but it gives clean shave when you combine it with another razor, like the wahl balding razor. you should be okay if you use both.

It is not a shaver. It eppilates the hair.. Or pulls it out by the roots. Would be better to wax. This thing caused me to have horrible ingrown hairs. I had to go on antibiotic to get them to clear up. I am an nurse and researched this. It pulls the hair above the skin and breaks it off. UNlike waxing that pulls it completely out. It is painful process, the end result is smooth but the ingrown hairs are awful. I would not recommend this product at all.

Yes, it works just fine to shave with this razor, while it is plugged in. My husband uses it that way too.

I don't see why not. I use it with fusion blades. all the device does is wipe away the soap and stubble build up which they claim causes the blade to feel dull if left on. I have a heavy beard and have used the same blade now since Oct 20, 2013. I'm thinking about changing to a new blade but this one does not feel very rough.

It's designed to trim a beard and define edges. It is not a substitute for a razor that can give a clean shave.

Sorry my husband says it is a great shaver but no attachment for trimming beards.

From my two-month experience it is designed and works better as a body groomer. I tried it once on my face and din't like the awkward angles it allowed so I got a separate beard trimmer. You may with some practice and patience(which I lack) grow to manipulate it anywhere but for me, given prior history with a multi-purpose shaver, I could never quite get the feel I was comfortable with. Hope this helps...

It would work but will not shave as close as a razor in my opinion, so keep that in mind.

Sure will. I don't have a real heavy beard but l get about a month out of a single blade. I use a triple edge razor so it took a little while to figure it out. Hope this helps.

Yes, however there are reservations and considerations. It is excellent with light hairs that are not your mustache or beard. Underneath your eyes for example. I tweeze to trim my beard and mustache. You can use it in lieu of shaving but it will be painful and will takesome time to get used to it. If you get bumps from shaving, you will get bumps from epilating. I use it on my face but not my whole face. I have a beard. My wife uses it on her face but she has no coarse hairs. I got her the ladies version as it is a bit gentle. Hope this helps.

No idea, I wouldn't shave / trim my beard in the shower anyway. All I can say is that as a travel trimmer, this little thing is excellent, surprisingly efficient for the size. Not a useless consumer gizmo AT ALL. I hope this helps.
