How rough is this razor on your skin? Does it pull on it &amp; leave it red &amp; raw? Does it cut your skin? Thanks

No it does not pull on your skin or leave it red and raw or cut. The blades although sharp have small teeth and glide easily as it has a wide head of about 2 inches wide, see the photo. Not much different to a face electric razor probably smoother because I never feel like you need to put aftershave or balm on to put out the fire. I usually jump in the shower after shaving to clean the shaven hairs away. Never had a problem. Hope this helps.

I switched to this from a Braun 5-Series. The Panasonic ES-LA63 is an absolute gem compared to the Braun. I NEVER had a shave with the Braun that didn't pull my hairs. Very painful. And if you haven't tried it yet, use the LA63 in the shower: Super close shaves, zero irritation! And your face will be as smooth as a baby's bottom.

I thought the same thing with my Edwin Jagger de89lbl. That when I first put the derby razor on that it was not out far enough. But then as I used it the blade gently removed the hair from my face giving me a close shave and did not leave me with any razor burn. Any more razor blade sticking out for me would of cut me and gave me razor burn all over. I have read on amazon some people need or like the adjustable razor angle like the mekur futur.

I have to admit that I was skeptical at first since I was accustomed to a long handle. After a year of use, I find that I have a light touch with the short handle that has virtually eliminated razor burn. I also find that I have excellent control with the short handle. I hold the handle with two or three fingertips in the middle of the handle. The razor head is heavy enough to do the work for me, so I just guide the razor where it needs to go. The technique takes a little getting used to, but I really prefer the Merkur 34C now. I have large hands, but have no issues with this razor. Hope this helps.

Where did you find this article about ingrown hairs and this razor? Cuz that is mainly why i am purchasing this razor. I will be more than happy to let you know how it does on mine once i get it.

I have really rough facial hair, and I have to say NO to this shaver. It does not shave close and you will always have a rough feeling. The reason may guys don't have bumps is because the razor does not shave close. Great for us, but hated by the women. My woman likes me to have a very smooth face, but you won't get it with this shaver.

Hi, i have used this model for two years and never grab my skin. I used to have an older model and that happened but not with this one. Cheers

As I think I understand your question, your beard (not shaving for a few days) will be the same as with a blade. If you do not shave for a several days, it becomes difficult as with a razor (Use the side trimmer to shave down). I need to shave every other day, two at the most. Same as blade, it will pull. I use the Braun Series 7 at its lightest of three settings on my neck and closer on my mustache and chin. No (much much less) ingrown hairs, which I am prone to and MUCH easier on my face. I can shave again, if I need to and with no problem, when I got out at night, with no problem. Hairs that lie flat are, indeed, problematic - I stretch or pinch skin to raise hair. I will never to back to a multi blade. After the 'Track Two' it only got worse. I think the multi-blade razors pulls the hair out and results in ingrown hairs in my case. It seems the more blades, the worse it got. I begged Gillette in writing (in my opinion the leader) to make a double edge blade and razor, like my father had. The cheap disposable single edge BIC's are not for me and the 'Art of Shaving' is $$$. As you can tell beyond your original question, my face loves the Series 7. It is faster to shave and WAY cheaper over time if you do the math. You change the cartridge after a year of half for about $30-$40. They also have a six week return policy (I think). You'll get the hang of it in two and will know after a month if it is for you. There may be some videos on YouTube as well.

I wouldn't switch to a DE if I were you. I actually just switched from a DE. First of all you have to be extremely careful with them because it's extremely easy to cut yourself. It actually to me a few weeks of cutting myself before finally learning how to use it properly. Also with DE razors the blades only last for 1-2 shaves then you have to switch it out. Considering that and how often you will have to buy more blades it's actually more expensive. Overall I'd say to just stay with a more modern razor.

I had only tried this particular razor on my legs, and since it wouldn't remove any leg hair at all, I threw the thing out, so could not answer you as far as this groomer working on the bikini area. Since it would not go through leg hair, it did not pull or pinch...it did nothing! What I have seen of it, I would definately look around for a different razor and read as many reviews as possible. Good luck!

It's about the same shave but when the microtouch one blade goes dull and you shave with it, you will cut cut your skin real bad. I cut my face with it when it was dull and I was bleeding for an hour.

The razor pictured has a 3-piece, vs the butterfly twist to open of the Razorock Jaws razor. I have both, a butterfly and a 3-piece, Edwin Jagger DE89Lbl. Razors are aggressive to gentle, and what you require or prefer will depend on your skin, whisker toughness, lather and blade. The best you can do is try a few and see what you are happiest with. Aggressiveness depends on how much blade is exposed after closing the razor or tightening the head. Also, the blade As much as I'd like to tell folks I have a barbed wire beard, the reality is I prefer my Edwin Jagger's more gently configuration. A good Q & A can be found at the Badger and Blade website. Good luck.

My neck gets a little razor burn if I'm not careful, but I'm cranked to the most aggressive setting. I'd recommend trying several different blades too. This razor has been great so far.

No. Shaving is quicker. Epilating last longer. Definitely painful at first but you don't get razor bumps. Never again have cuts. Well worth it but I do suggest getting a different one than this one. Personally loved it for the first month it worked than it stopped working without a reason.

It seems many like Shark, but at least for my DE razor they are my least favorite. Lord is a brand I like a lot better and it comes in half blades also. I normally shave with Feather, but my other favorites, not sure if they com in halves, are Gillette Goal. My point is just that if you haven't tried Lord, I think you should, then come tell me what you think. :) Maybe this is different for a single edge razor though.

I usually run it on about 1...anything past 1.5 slices my face! However. I get a great shave one 1 with just one or two passes. Stay away from Merkur blades. I usually use Lord's or Personna Red.

I have always had a Norelco rotary shaver. Just purchased another and had bought one over 5 years ago. Have used many times not religiously every day but fairly often. Never have replaced blades!!!!!!!!..... had my units serviced or tuned up where they clean the motor or armature etc. Love these shavers.... If you use every day over straight razor you will get a closer shave or as close a shave. The new lubricating razors I like. Bought one for my son and it really soothes your face.
