Would this work as a bikini-line shaver? I want to shave close with no pulling or nicking. Thanks!

I can't recommend using this shaver in as sensitive place as a bikini line. Plus the cutting blades are a small portion of the head of the razor so I'm not sure you would get the results (I'm guessing) you're looking for. It will give you razor burn if over used.

so sorry, but i don't use the machine for the bikini, just use in my work to shave the beard of my models

If you're looking for a close shave on your face then I would recommend the Wahl 8061 5-Star Series Rechargeable Shaver Shaper. It's awesome! I use it daily on my face and it doesn't give me any bumps or in-grown hairs. I actually prefer it over using a traditional razor for shaving. The Andis Styliner trimmer won't give you a close shave on your face at all in comparison to the Wahl Shaver Shaper. And I would say the same about the aforementioned products if you're going to use them for cutting your hair too. The Styliner will cut your hair very short to the point where you will just see stubble, but the Wahl Shaver Shaper will leave your scalp smooth and bald just as a razor would (some people say it even cuts closer than a razor). If you opt for the Wahl Shaver, you don't really need to apply that much pressure when using it on your face like a typical electric shaver. It works just fine with little/moderate pressure. It's a very reliable shaver and requires very little maintenance. Every so often you just need to pop off the top portion and brush out all the hairs on the blade and that's it. Once the foil on the top portion starts to wear out (which you will be able to see visibly, this takes a long time by the way) you can just order the replacement foil/blade and pop that right on and you're good to go. I hope this answered your question. If you're looking for something to use for shaving your face you won't be disappointed with the Wahl Shaver. I think it's the best shaver that's available and it's the only one that I use.

No, please don't try either. It isn't precise enough to be able to give you a straight enough line. Maybe try a smaller epilator made for smaller areas or stick to thread or electric shavers.

Earl, since I never shave that close with this trimmer I can't say for sure. But I would guess that it would not. You would need a real shaver rather than a trimmer for that.

Hah! To answer the original poster's question, I think I'd be a little more comfortable with a regular razor shaver for that kind of thing. This strikes me as too liable to do "pinching" and such.

Do not try it on the bikini line!! You will die from pain. This kit comes with SOFT wax. You need HARD wax for the bikini area. You can buy this kit, just order or buy hard wax at your local Sally's

wish I could help directly...I only use it for my every other day save and to trim side burns and soul patch. In general I get a close facial shave without any razor burn or irritation. Compared to my previous iterations of Norelco shavers (think this is my 4th), it is much much lighter and quieter.

My suspicion is no. It's not a really good shaver. I regret buying it. It gets the job done...eventually. I need to use the trimmer function constantly to get the long ones. Short stubble is easy with this thing, but if you miss a couple of days expect ten to 13 minutes shaving. You might be better off paying more for a shaver with a bigger blade IMHO.

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.

I don't know how to measure exactly how close the sensitive comb shaves, but it is VERY close. perhaps 1 or 2 mm... it leaves just stubble, but there are no nicks and cuts in my experience. Shaving closer carefully with a blade like the Fusion or even safer, a women's blade like the Venus Proskin, produces a smooth shave. Based on rave reviews for close shaves from the Philips Norelco BG2040 BodyGroom Pro, I bought that one but found that trying to shave pubic hair resulted in painful cuts.

Yes, if it is a "wet" shaver (one that you can use either wet or dry), it is not a problem and I would actually HIGHLY RECCOMMEND it. I've gotten a much better shave using it with my electric than without it.

It's the best razor I've had, close shave. I would think it would work well .

I use it for shaving per se but it doesn't give you a close shave. From the moving blade to the tip is about 1mm long. What you'll probably need to do (like me) is use it but use a foil shaver right after for a closer shave.

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.

I DO NOT trust electric shavers down there...EVER. With the loose skin it is VERY VERY easy to snag and cause a gash. even with a guard and even with the skin pulled taught... I will trim everything else, but it's a razor and some shave cream when I get down there.

It doesn't shave at all. Nothing even close to a clean shave. It purposely leaves "stubble". I shave most of my face with a blade. I trim my very large mustache with the QT4000/42 at a high setting for long length.The portion left (goatie) I use the lowest close setting for a stubble look. This shaver is NOT something that could leave your face smooth and clean. Made for what I use it for and nothing else. Hope this helps.

I used to shave by chest/abs with a razor and I often got ingrowns, and then I started using the Norelco I use for my face and found that I got an even closer shave and less possibilty of ingrowns. I looking to buy the bodygroomer because I doubt shaving my body with my face shaver is good for the blades. How "bad" is the stubble? If I'm looking for a clean, hairless look do you recommend this or should I just continue shaving with my face shaver? Thanks.
