The head of this shaver seems too large to fit the 4 blades under the nose area. Has anyone experienced a problem?

I have no problem using it under my nose. As long as one of the 4 foils touches the part under the nose, the shaver will shave the hair off.

The width of this shaver has not been a problem. Even though it is wider than the area between the nose and the upper lip for most people, you can still shave the area comfortably. I've been very happy with this razor.

I haven't had any issue with this. However, being a relatively inexpensive mobile shaver. I do not use this shaver with a thick week growth beard. I used it if I have a little stubble and want to touch it up and smooth my face. I believe the foil on this is very thin being a travel type shaver and it is possible that like others have suggested perhaps your beard is too long or maybe you have a defective unit. It seems to work fairly well for my touch up needs.

that is very odd , I take mine apart every shave and clean it and the blade ,sounds like you got a defected one ? since when they go together it doesn't take much to snug it down , I think you would have had to use a vise to break it and I don't see you doing that ,so I would ask amazon

I would purchase another replacement for it. It's only like 15 dollars. I had mine for about 6 months now and need to change it now because the gold flexible screen on it doesn't stay down. I absolutely love mine because I can't use a regular straight edge shaver but can use this without a problem. But I also use tend skin as well to prevent razor bumps.

Ive had no problems. I have to admit it took me getting used to using a top load razor compared to the butterfly opening. I do not tighten my razor to th4 max I just make it snug.

Mine works fine. I have not had a problem with the screw working correctly. It holds tight, and releases ok, I usually unscrew it after every shave, rinse it out then tighten it down again until next time. Change the blades after a few shaves, I haven't had any problems.

My buddy uses this when he shaves with his fusion, and he tells me it works great. As for the clogging, it might be due to your beard's thickness, or how narrow the gap in between each blade is.

Not sure which razor you're referring to but I use Gillette Fusion (5 blades) and it fits just fine.

I wouldn't know, the blades on this shaver moved so slow that I couldn't get a close shave. I promptly sent it back to Amazon.com for a refund.

No. I initially thought it had a wide gap even on 1, but after using it for a few months I started to feel comfortable "dialing it up!" This is still one of the smoothest razors I own, new or vintage!

I really can't help much with that. My cleaning system did not last long so I don't use it anymore. I also have an older Braun with a cleaning system and that works great but the Panasonic shaver is far superior for a close shave.

Contact the company - they have really good customer service - I've had mine for almost a year and it works awesome - don't give up its a great shaver

wish I could help directly...I only use it for my every other day save and to trim side burns and soul patch. In general I get a close facial shave without any razor burn or irritation. Compared to my previous iterations of Norelco shavers (think this is my 4th), it is much much lighter and quieter.

My husband says, "As long as you're using one of the plastic guards and not trying to use the shaver head, it shouldn't be too hard to do. I wouldn't personally have that shaver head anywhere near my scrotum."

I don't know as I threw out the box and paper work.Have you 1. cleaned and oiled the blades after using 2. Taken the blade off and cleaned it and the white shaft that moves the blade and if you have removed the blade have you reinstalled it correctly as instructed. I have fine hair and and use it every other day around my ears, sideburns and mustache and clean and oil the blade each time.Also once a week I remove the blade and clean inside. With this maintenance I have not had any problems and am very pleased with the trimmer. Best of Luck David PS The 2 screws holding the blade to the trimmer can easily strip.

No. Another reason it didn't work for me. Very cumbersome. And uneven shave.

Hah! To answer the original poster's question, I think I'd be a little more comfortable with a regular razor shaver for that kind of thing. This strikes me as too liable to do "pinching" and such.
