The description says a full charge gives 4 minutes of shave time. Is that a typo? My husband has thick beard, 4 minutes won't cut it.

I like the razor and keep it charged most of the time.... saying that, you might want to keep the razor plugged in while shaving. There doesn't seem to be any loss of cutting power while you groom yourself.

That must be a typo. I get several days of shave time. I not sure how many, but I charged once when I received it and it had to be about two weeks or more before I needed to charge it. it is still running fast and furious and it has been a couple of weeks since that second charge.

I have a light beard and it takes me about 5 minutes to shave each day. I get 5 or 6 days of shaving before the sound of the shaver motor is slowing down and I can tell it should be recharged. It's not that the shaver stops running. I could get more days of shaving out of it without recharging, but each day it will take a little longer to shave. I generally recharge it after about 5 days.

I suppose I've had it on longer than that on battery alone. Having said that, just keep it plugged in. It has a very long cord

Yes. It has to be a typo. I have a thick beard and it takes me a while to shave every morning. I typically only have to charge it once every week.

caught this post a minute ago...I just got my bigmouth back hair shaver in the mail Friday and i couldn't agree more. Looks like this is a fairly new back shaver but definitely hits the problem head on.

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)

My shaver does not hold a charge. It does not shave the hair. This shaver has never worked from day one. Save yourself the aggravation of trying to fix it and go with a different brand or try the little pink plastic disposable razors. They tend to be more reliable.

I actually don't know. Here's why. Almost everytime I use it I store it in the charger so it charges after each use. On occasion while traveling I've used it maybe five times without charging and it's held the charge through that and when I did charge it after that use, I never noticed how long it took. The shaver doesn't tell you how much of the battery is left before it needs to be charged. I guess they assume you'll store and charge it after each use.

I have done both. I don't know how long the charge lasts, it's for a teenage boy and he doesn't need to shave every day.

I do it BEFORE every shave. It seems to work pretty good but it is still one more step that takes about a minute and a half a day. I think it's worth the money especially if you are on a budget and need to count dollars, but I don't. The jury is still out for me.....

Yes it will work, it charges enough to give you one shave in 2-3 minutes so you may find that easier.

Yes, you can shave with this razor when it is being charged. BUT I do not get the 17 hours of shaving as was advertised. I get about a week of shaves between charges.

How long are you running it for? I've done grooming in sections since my shih tzu has alot of hair and not alot of patience. I do remember reading that just from duration of running the razor will have some heat. My best guess is it is a normal occurrence and perhaps to do shorter grooming sessions. I typically do 30min shaves with breaks/treats and I haven't experience it getting hot yet. Hopefully that helps dispel any worry.

i am getting an average of 20 shaves per charge which in time it is probably in the 1 to 1 1/2 hour range total

I can only tell you thyat I paid $200- for the one I bought and the shave it gives me is very poor. I constantly look like I last shaved 24 hours ago. They said it takes about 4 weeks to get used to the shaver but I've been using it over 2 months.

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?

I believe they both use the same actual cutting unit ( not to be confused with the combs which actually create the length). That being so they both get right to the scalp leaving a very short stubble resembling 2 days of beard growth. To actually get the full bald look one needs to actually shave this stubble.

I haven't noticed a light coming on before shut-down since I am usually shaving with the razor up to my face. It shuts down and I reach down and grab my cord, plug it in and resume shaving and then let the battery charge. I shave with the razor every day for around 5 or 6 minutes, and the battery charge lasts for over a month before it is necessary to re-charge.

I purchased the razor for my fiancé. So I asked him. He charged it for a few hours at Christmas time and has not had to recharge it yet. He only uses it about twice a week though. He thinks it is great. Comes with a USB connector too, and he is a computer engineer, so great gift.
