Could you recommend it for strong facial hair? Do you use it with shaving cream? Is very noisy?

Cannot respond to the question regarding strong facial hair. I do not use it with shaving cream. It is not noisy. Gives a very smooth and excellent shave.

I love it! My facial hair isn't very thick and I never use shave cream with any eiectric razor! But it! I had the option of a spare head or the cleaner. I'm glad I chose the cleaner!

It seemed to pull the hair rather cut the hair. It's pretty quiet. I haven't tried it with shaving cream. If I wanted to use shaving cream I would go with a straight razor.

My experience is that it does not work like a razor. In fact, I didn't have much luck with it at all. It would work well for a very smooth surface like your face, but I was hoping to use it for my bikini line, and it didn't shave close enough to be used for rougher skin surfaces. Plus the shaving head is very small, only a fraction of the size of a razor. I used it for about two minutes and ended up throwing it away.

Amazingly quiet. I almost thought it was broken when I first used it because of how quiet it is. No joke. I wouldn't say he could hide from the enemy while shaving, but it's by far both best combination of quiet and effective I've ever had in an electric shaver - and I've used them for close to 50 years.

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.

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.

Hello Karen, as a guy the only reason i got it is to use it on my face, as i dont shave the hair on my upper cheeks, so instead i remove them with it instead. So yes you can, could be a lil painful in the first couple touches but your face will kinda get numb. I hope this addresses your concern. Thanks

I'm satisfied that it works on my facial hair. I guess it might depend on how thick and course the facial hair is. It would probably do best to use the Emjoi when hairs are short.

It has a somewhat medium buzz sound not real loud. It is the perfect shaver for traveling. I took this shaver to Eastern Europe on a 16 day tour and it performed great giving me a close shave every time. I did clean it each time after using it so as to keep it from clogging up. I don't have a real heavy beard which could cause problems for those who do. Hope this helps.

I use it with both face and head. It is an excellent razor. Use a good shaving cream and a good DE blade. You may need to experiment. I am using Feather DE blades and Nivea shave cream in a tube which I lather up using a brush. Don't press down with the razor, let the razor do the work and go slow while learning. I get a great shave and no ingrown hairs.

I don't think it will be good for facial hair...I have not tried on face and I use it for my legs/hands only. Its too wide for face. I feel its not a good idea to use it on face.

Sorry, I do not use shaving cream. This shaver is most effective when use dry.

Had mine just over three months. I use it with hot water and hand soap. The blades are definitely less efficient than they were, although still better than my last razor.Out of the posters on this thread, three indicate a life of 3-4 months... Interesting. Guess I'll try the "Tom's brushless cream".J. Thayer, how old are you and how hard is your beard?

In my case blade shaving irritated my skin. The electric will do the same if you press too hard but it is the convenience of not having to lather up but can shave on the go at most any time that appeals to me. An electric like this will not shave a beard unless you buy the one with a built in trimmer.

Not really Fernando.. for me it works great.. actually I get really irritated using normsl shavers... Why don't u try using shaving cream with it! Afterall this one can be used in wet conditions...

Simple to use for nose or ear hair trimming. While the mechanism by its nature will vibrate, this is essentially imperceptible. In the same way that when you use an electric shaver, you hear it buzzing, but it does not vibrate noticeably on your face. You will almost certainly find this unit smooth and easy to use.

Also just got one and was wondering the exact same thing. This post suggests, despite the manual, that it works fine for facial hair:http://www.amazon.com/Beard/forum/Fx35I14XJDYL4GM/Tx25ZQ15IPDYTEO/1/ref=cm_cd_dp_ef_tft_tp?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B001E0C9LI&store;=hpc

According to the literature that came with my razor, one may use shaving cream or not, whichever you prefer.☺
