Will it trim Thick Hair. I've got some very thick bristle hairs on my face. My Norelco snags on them. Does this razor ever snag?

Son has a very heavy beard and he loves the razor. Replace blade every year or 2.

It's been two or three years since I tried it. I think I remember that it came with one replacement set, but you would need to buy additional replacement sets as they would need to be replaced. But cleaning the device out after each use was key to have it work most effectively. I did not find that it gave me a close enough shave, so I returned it - which is where Norelco game me problems about refunding me all of the money that I spent. Their promise turned out to be a lie. Bad job on their part. Good Luck!

This razor is the smoothest shave that I have ever experienced. I have used a Norelco for years but this is the most outstanding one that I have ever used. I had to make sure that it was actually cutting my beard because it was so smooth. I believe that it is the new heads they have come up with that make it this way but when in doubt go for it as it will not disappoint.

Do not press and drag the shaver. Pretend that you are shaving a balloon. The Norelco will do the job.

I have really thick hair and I just move the clipper slowly through my hair. I also don't allow it to grow two inches and then expect to single-pass it to an eighth inch length. However, I am on my second unit. (They're inexpensive.) The first one wore out and began not cutting cleanly, despite the measures I took. I don't like that I can't find replacement blades. I also don't like how choked the unit becomes with my hair, but that didn't really seem to change how it worked. It's *ok*. Don't expect perfection, but if you go slowly and cut hair a little at a time, you'll be fine.

This Norelco does not pull out your hair. It is one of the cleanest and smoothest shavers I have ever used. One attachment has two trimmers surrounding foil. It is ideal for getting the hair short enough for the foil to work effectively. No nicks or cuts either. I highly recommend this product.

The Norelco doesn't need razor parts. My last Norelco lasted for 7 plus years and it still gives me a shave.Nevertheless, it is not a sharp as it used to be. I gave it to my wife and bought this new one. Norelco suggests that you order new heads every year for a sharp cut. Cost for new head is $20.

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!

My sisters and I love the bellabe and it works great for normal facial hair, but it does not work well on coarse hair. Having a few of those growing (as I have gotten older sigh) lol I have to pluck those out with tweezers.

The last Norelco that I had was purchased about 9 years ago and the battery was still ok. I bought a new Norelco because the blades were too dull ( not getting a close enough shave) and the cost of new blades was more than buying the new razor. I never had to consider a battery change.

I have no experience with a shaved head, but this has been awesome for my chin. My problems with razor bumps have been dramatically reduced. With that said, I should say that I DON'T use it as a trimmer . I like to keep a separate tool that's just for trimming.

It doesn't shave at all. Nothing even close to a clean shave. It purposely leaves "stubble". I shave most of my face with a blade. I trim my very large mustache with the QT4000/42 at a high setting for long length.The portion left (goatie) I use the lowest close setting for a stubble look. This shaver is NOT something that could leave your face smooth and clean. Made for what I use it for and nothing else. Hope this helps.

You have to trim down first with clippers. The instructions say the stubble should ideally be 1/32" which is basically a few days worth of razor stubble, depending on how fast your hair grows. This shaver is exclusively for stubble; if the hair is too long, it will not cut it, remember it is a shaver, not clippers. This will not give you as smooth a shave as a razor, it is designed to prevent razor bumps and irratation. It does what is was designed to do...give you a close shave without irratation.

I've never used the clippers as a beard shaver. I do use the trimmer on my facial hair though, even though it doesn't have any sort of adjustments for it. It works for me and gives you a scruff look. I would assume though that using the main clipper on a longer beard would work and could then be cleaned up with the trimmer.

There is a precision trimmer that slides out the rear similar to those on previous Norelco models for sideburns, nose hairs, etc. if that is what you mean by a body groomer.It is noisier than on my previous shavers, but works very well.

Patti my sister has a YorkiPoo and she shaves her all the way down with no problem. I have a MultiPoo and it cuts her hair great. The blade is sharp enough you don't have to go over it but a couple of times.

maybe. the shave, though, is much better than my 6-year old norelco. hair chambers are small and have to be emptied every day or two, but that's all right. cap is flimsy and wings break easily. you have to learn how to in sert the shaver into its cap.
