Can the AP-18MS (or epilators in general) remove stubbles? Like, if I would shave, could it already epilate the stubbles coming trough the day after?

Highly unlikely There needs to be some growth for proper removal. Other wise the tweezers wont pluck anything.

not the day after, maybe like 2 days after. is not that great.. my husband still preffers to use mine. a braun one.

It does a good job on stubble...better it is a couple days. But if you hair is thick mine is not I am sure every day would work. After many uses the hair almost stops growing and becomes finer.

This item worked very well for a couple of months.Then one side of the blades ceased to function and I had followed the instructions and precautions exactly.I contacted the vendor 2X but received no response.My advice-don't buy this product-terrible customer service

I use it on my head so the answer is 'yes'... provisionally. Like any electric shaver you can only let your hair go so far until you have to either use a blade or - and this is what I do - use a set of clippers with the guide removed and run them over your scalp (or face) to turn your beard/hair into short stubble. From there the Braun can handle it just fine. BUT as others have noted the Series 3 shavers do not shave as close as previous Braun razors. So you will need to take your time going over and over your head to get a close shave. I find a circular motion works best. Either that or up/down followed by side to side.

No electric shaver is as close as a razor. However, the stubble isn't as course or noticeable. My hair groes so fast I have to shave every other day with razor as stubble is course. With this shaver it's every 3 days in summer, 4 in winter. Particularly effective after about 2 weeks when used wet.

Yes, it does....although I have to use several passes before all the stubble is shaved away!!

They provide a very close shave for those areas. I have used the to shave my face after a week's beard growth with ease.... not razor close of course but very close for a battery powered clipper.

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.

My beard is really tough and it takes quite a while for me to get a close shave, but the Panasonic does a better job than any other shaver I've ever used. Leave the cleaning base at home and just take the charger/cord with you on the road. I can get about 10 shaves on a charge, but I plug the shaver in overnight when on the road. If you clean the shaver under running water you will never *have* to clean it in the base, although that's what I do when not travelling. It's a great shaver... You can't go wrong. I've got the ES8228 and the ES8109. They're pretty much the same shavers with different trim. I replaced a Braun 360.

I thought this was definitely not worth the money, personally. It basically just breaks the hair off just above the skin, so it felt like I had stubble from not shaving for a couple of days. I tried it on my arms, legs, and upper lip, all with the same results. I was totally dissatisfied.

I never get razor stubble, it may be because I exfoliate my skin with a loofah and dry brush my skin frequently, also I always keep my skin moisturized. After using the emjoi, I simply moisturize with pure coconut oil and that keeps the epilated area soft for me. I hope this helps!

It does remove the hair (I use it on my upper lip), but it seems to grow back faster (get stubbly) than when I used the Panasonic epilator. Bottom line: I'd buy the Panasonic instead.

yes you can. I would advise to shave the area first. Let it grow for a couple of days. Then go ahead Epilator. After that keep at it every two days or so.

July 3, 2012Hi there! Can we use this Epilator on our chin or face? Please...someone let me know asap. Thanks!L.

Yes, it can hurt when removing hair. The best thing I have found is to pull the skin taught so it doesn't grab the skin, but I have found this is true for all epilators.

Hi R.S. Wanat,I would say about ten times or more if you space it out with shaving every two to three days to make the blades last longer. They really do a good job getting rid of the stubble. The blades are super sharp so please shave gently. After awhile just like with any blade you will start to feel a pulling sensation(dull blade) which is a signal to change to a new blade. Wishing you many happy shaves.

I only use it to clear the obvious, but it does leave a stubble than I believe is not visible to others, but I can feel it when I touch those areas. I am blonde and don't have more than 10 hairs of concern. I doubt this would clear dark hairs sufficiently over the upper lip (mustache) because it would still leave a stubble (at least by the end of the day).

It's been two or three years since I tried it. I think I remember that it came with one replacement set, but you would need to buy additional replacement sets as they would need to be replaced. But cleaning the device out after each use was key to have it work most effectively. I did not find that it gave me a close enough shave, so I returned it - which is where Norelco game me problems about refunding me all of the money that I spent. Their promise turned out to be a lie. Bad job on their part. Good Luck!

I wouldn't recommend this for use on your face. I wasn't satisfied with the results of the trimmer. As the name suggests it's a trimmer, not really an epilator or anything else. Hope this helps
