How close is the shave? would this trim off the 2 day stubbles of a shapeup line neatly?

No, this is not a close shave for every day use on the face. This is an excellent body shaver, but the attachment that comes with will easily take care of stubble on the chest and such. For use on the face, you'd want Braun Cruzer 5 Face Cruzer, 5 Face Shaver . It's by far the best I've ever used, and it's only a bit more expensive than this. It can also sit in your shower, if that's your concern.

If its thick hair it wouldn't...it's not that close you will still see and feel the hair. If you use the foil attachment it will be closer

Nope. It's not a shaver, it's a very close trimmer. I own one and reviewed it above. It gets really really close, but a razor would get closer and in some of the areas this is designed for, that would you're likely to end up bloody if you're not extremely careful.

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.

I don't have the shaver in front of me but the lowest length gives a nice stubble two day stubble look (for me)

This should work. I haven't tried to shave my head with it but it shaves my face as close or closer than a razor.

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.

I was about to buy this but then I went to phillips' website and found out that they have a trimmer specifically for stubble, you can get it here Philps Norelco QT4021 Stubble Trimmer

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!

This gives me a pretty close shave but not quite as smooth as waxing which I've had in the past. It will definitely shave your "entire area" when using the bikini head.

You have to cut it . I shave with a razor and soap If I skip three or four days, but one or two days is fine It really works well it gives a close smooth shave

I keep a beard, and use this for a little neck-scrape more often than I use a razor. It's certainly not going to give you a close shave like a razor would, but it'll clean you up pretty good without pulling your hair. I've found that corded clippers like this are more consistent and powerful than their cordless counterparts, which means you have less "pull".

I doubt you can buy an electric razor that gives that close of a shave...only razors will do that. This does give a decently close shave, though I recommend getting a Braun. The beard trimmers on the backside of these suck and pull hair.

Hey Scott,Im not n everyday shaver; job doesn't really require it so I go about every 2 - 3 days. But to answer your question, I'd say about 4 - 5 shaves depending on how tough your beard is and the type of blade. I'm still testing on a few different blades. Good luck.

The following review link claims 45 minutes of run time, but I've not actually timed it since I don't use it for 30 minutes straight. http://www.baldingbeards.com/best-stubble-trimmer/ I also don't use it every day.

You have to trim down first with clippers. The instructions say the stubble should ideally be 1/32" which is basically a few days worth of razor stubble, depending on how fast your hair grows. This shaver is exclusively for stubble; if the hair is too long, it will not cut it, remember it is a shaver, not clippers. This will not give you as smooth a shave as a razor, it is designed to prevent razor bumps and irratation. It does what is was designed to do...give you a close shave without irratation.

Not so close. But it can help you reduce your beard to a length that you can easily razorshave without ruining your razor blade if you have an expensive one.

I used it for the first time last night. I leaves a little stubble, but is far faster and safer than the devices I have used in the past. Plus, leaving a little stubble means it will itch less later. I like it, so far. And, the website is the coolest thing ever (www.shaveeverywhere.com)
