Is this something that could replace a razor? Does it give the same smooth feeling on your legs, or wherever you use it?

I asked my wife she said this machine is very smooth and is faster than a razor she stopped using razors

Yes, it does replace a razor. I use the epilator head for some areas, and I use the razor for other areas that are too sensitive to use the epilator. Also, the epilator works best with hairs that are not very long. If you are just starting to use this unit for the first time, or have not been able to use it for a while, you may want to use the razor head first, then after several days, when the hairs are just starting to grow out, try using the epilator head. I've been using this brand for a number of years now, after having gone through at least 4 other similar epilators made by other people. This is the best brand of them all, by far.

Absolutely, I have been using epilator for more than 10 years. It can't be even compared to razor, the skin is smooth and after you use it for a while it slows the hair growth! Now, I only use it couple of times a month on my legs because the hair takes long time to grow! I love epilation so are all of my friends. I know it can be paintful the first few times but once the skin gets used to it it's painless! The hair loses thickness which makes it easier to use with time

I did not like this item. It does not replace a razor. It has tweezers that hurt. OUCH!

It does a great job on legs and armpits. I'd be hesitant to use it in more tender territory, but it is far more comfortable to use than earlier generations of epilators I have tried. It works swell on facial hair (of the faint female variety, I wouldn't try it on a beard or anything) with no irritation.

The razor is shipped with a razor blade (made in China) but it is not worth using go to Walmart and buy a pack of Wilkerson blades and shaving bar soap and a shaving brush if you already don't own any of these. The tip to a smooth shave is the lather that the shaving soap gives. Remember to rinse the razor often and let the razor do the work don't press down on the razor or you will cut yourself. Hope this helps

Sorry I don't know haven't had to get razors yet. But I would think that you could go to your local store and use it there.

Not at all. That's the appeal of the body shaver in my eyes. I also don't think it get as clean of a shave as a razor would. Just fyi

I found that it does not shave smoothly. It does leave a stubble and irritates your skin if you continue trying to get a smoother shave.

I tried it on my leg and it hurt like hell (using the epilator head). I think that bikini area might hurt even more, I have used it with the regular razor headpiece and it worked like a regular electric shaver, I would not recommend the epilator....unless you have a high pain threshold (apparently I do not in this case).

It really isn't all that much different...much like the knee area you just have to be more careful. This is a great general info link: http://www.reddit.com/r/wicked_edge/comments/md36z/de_wetshaving_101_for_women_and_anyone_else_who/

I believe so. I think my brother, who is a barber, uses it at his barber shop. But I'm not sure. He recommended it though, says its a great razor. I bought it for my dad for his face. They say it does a nice close shave. But I'd imagine its like any typical razor where u have to cut down the hair and then use it. But I dunno I'm not a guy so I don't use one, I only see my husband use it.

I use this one at home every other day and have not used the Gillette but once I got the hang of it, it's works great. The handle is a little more narrow in diameter than I thought it would be. I also use a MUHLE razor from the "Art of Shaving" website, that one has a very thick handle and feels just as good. I don't think that you will go wrong using the Parker.

In my opinion, I feel it is. My shaver glides across my skin a lot smoother when I use this lotion. I have a relatively high rated shaver and also change the blades periodically so I know it's not the shaver. Don't forget to rinse off your blades though after your shave. If you don't do so your blades might gum up after a period of time.

I'd say more like razor blade. Don't know but works great! I wish I had found it years ago.

Yes it does and it looks really good too! It probably doesn't cut as close as a razor, but it almost feels as smooth and you don't have to worry about cuts on your head. I actually use it to shave my face and head in the shower without a mirror, just gauging progress by feel. I do notice that it only takes a full day or so to grow in a good bit of scruff, so you may need to use it everyday like I do.

This would be an excellent purchase. I use it daily and get a very close shave. It is easy to clean, just open it and run it under hot water. This razor is heavier than a plastic razor but feels secure and comfortable in the hand.

For me personally, yes it is just as close a shave without the razor burn I experienced with the multi-blade razors. I now enjoy shaving again and am back to shaving daily, thanks to this razor!

I wouldn't recommend using this product for that. You should buy something that is made specifically to do what you need. But honestly, I can't remember the last time I saw a woman use an 'electric' shaver for her legs. In my experience, most just use a regular razor.

It is great on legs. It is rather awkward for other areas as the razor head is rectangular. The only other "con" is that the battery does not seem to stay charged for more than 2-3 days. The razor runs, but the motor sounds slower on day three that it did right after being charged all night. (the directions say it should have a 20 minute running time, but I don't know about that) I hope this is helpful.

I think i'd have to say yes. Of course it is bot going to be as good as a real razor shave but it would probably be the closest thing to it and without the irritating bumps leave behind. I even used this on my underarms and it worked really well.
