Hello does it prevent having bumps? I get shaving bumps whenever i use a razor, especially those shaving sticks. Thanks

No shaving bumps. Have been using this portable razor for over three years now.

So far, it is not permanent. It really requires as much attention as regular shaving. Maybe after a year of consistant use, it will payoff. I bought it for my wife, but she doesn't use it. If you haven't bought it yet, save your money.

I shave with the Styliner II and they cut close without the bumps from in-grown hairs. Just keep them oiled and they should perform right out of the box.

No, it's not a razor, but an electric *shaver*, so it does not give you nearly the same smooth legs a razor blade would. I have dark brown hair and while I can feel a bit of stubble, there is nothing visible. The longer you use this shaver, the softer the stubble gets. After about a month you'll notice a difference as your hair gets used to being shaven this way. My legs feel pretty nice after using it.. and my husband likes it, so no complaints from me!

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)

Honestly I don't use the razor they provided... Tried it both ways and just didn't do much. I pulled it off and attached the razor I normally use with tape and it works swimmingly. (Requires water and shaving cream)

The razor itself will not cause ingrown hairs as it is the blade and technique that does the actual cutting. The best answer to buying any safety razor is to get a sample pack of blades to find the one that works best for you. Technique is a different matter. I would look at tutorials at either badgerandblade.com or theshaveden.com to guide you in that respect. One you find your stride the ingrown hairs will be a thing of the past.

I read some on-line posts about this and I have been using a short stroke, since this head does not pivot, it helps keep the blade angle correct. I Use a good quality shave lotion instead of foam from a can, with lots of warm water, usually straight from the shower. I blead a little at first but once I got the hang of it my wife and I both love the closeness of the shave.

You could try coconut oil for those bumps. If there is not an infection, fungus, or something to kill, it may be too strong on your neck. Definitely do not use tea tree oil straight if you try it for razor bumps. Dilute it.

The "safe" short ends of the blades do appear to stick out or overhang by about 1/32 inch. I hadn't really noticed this before. I am using LORD premium razors as other drug store brands just don't give me as smooth of a shave. I don't know if other brands hung over the sides.

If you use it, also use a portable trimmer like the Remington MSC-140 Men's Titanium Battery Operated Foil Travel Shaver. It will give you a close cleaner shave in combination. Bump stopper 2 is always something wonderful to use everyday to combat the ingrown hairs. Also a mild facial scrub twice a day - depending on skin type. I use the Andis maybe 3 times a week, and the portable nightly before shower. No razor bumps - no ingrown hair... Hope this helps!

My experience with foils is they all wear out eventually. I think over zealously cleaning them wears them out faster, as they tend to lose their shape and then the blade is rubbing against it.I recommend only holding the shaver upside down and gently tapping the body to shake out shavings after shaving. The last foil I had on a different Braun shaver lasted about 5 times longer than the previous foils after I adopted that method.

I think this is going to depend on the person--what type of skin you have, how coarse your hair is, etc. I can tell you that I have fewer problems with rashes now that I use an epilator than I used to have with razors, but I never had much trouble with ingrown hairs in my underarms. If you've ever gotten waxed, the effect from the epilator should be similar to that; it pulls the hairs out by the root, rather than cutting them off right at skin level.

I don't have any problem rinsing my razor, but I also use shaving cream that doesn't foam. Regardless, I get enough water pressure from the showerhead that I still don't think that would be an issue.

I've been using this for years on my bikini area and have had no issues. I do use a cream for a few days afterward called Finipil (first from my hair salon, but I found it cheaper on Amazon) which helps tremendously to prevent bumps and irritation after using the Veet

DEFINITELY NOT! Some like it, but I personally prefer shaving with a razor 'cause it leaves the area nice & smooth, as opposed to this shaver which still leaves short short hair. Visually I was like "wow this really works" but when I ran my hand through I could still feel it prickly.. it felt like I'd shaved about one or two days before I actually had. Honestly my boyfriend just liked the razor better -- I know not all guys have the same likes blah blah but that's just to give you a male point of view, I guess. And I mean let's not even talk about shaving down under lol it's just not a comfortable size to use in between the legs. My friend, the one that recommended me this shaver, was like "ohh just use the pop up trimmer!" It was all fun & dandy.. until it pulled on a hair. Honest to God: the startle made me do that little jump (very dangerous with something like that down there) and my eyes even watered. That is something I never EVER want to experience again. Just like you, bikini area was basically the major reason why I wanted this shaver. It was seriously the first thing I shaved when the shaver arrived; unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed /: For the rest, though, like arms & legs, ughh it is SUCH a life saver & WAYY more comfortable than the razor (with the occasional pull, of course). I've also never been cut with this shaver sooo yipee! That's a BIG plus for me. I mean I've even shaved in the car on my way to somewhere. It's super awesome on that note though. Soo.. what I do is just keep the razor in the shower, strictly for bikini use, but that's it. The rest I shave with this shaver (: Hope this helped!

I bought this for my boy friend n he loves it. No more bumps from shaving! He also shapes up his hair with it. But not bald.
