Beard comb: Do I shave with curved side against face (shaver vertical to cheek) or straight side to face (shaver horizontal to cheek)?

Curve side is recommended. Watch out since the shaver is pretty sharp and shaves very well-so, try not to put the razor side close, otherwise, you may end up with a strip of beard missing!

There are real - and potentially important - differences between the 2D and 3D models. As the name suggests, it comes down to the range of motions possible to the heads - and therefore how closely the shaver can track the contours of your particular face, jaw line, and neck. The 2D head can flex in two ways, the 3D in three ways.Another major difference lies in the design of the rotary blade system coverings. All SensoTouch shavers use the Super Lift & Cut design. The rotary blades and covering lift the hair and whack it off as close to the skin as an electric can get. But the 3D design incorporates something the company calls UltraTrack. It's designed to get more types of hair. With the UltraTrack, the covering includes three specialized shaving tracks: channels - longer, wider openings - designed to cut longish beard hair, say the sort you might get after not shaving for a week. The cover also houses slots to make short work of normal hairs. Finally, holes work on the shortest ones.

Yes you can use both ways. I wash my face then put a warm towel on my face for a couple minutes and shave with a shave gel. At the bottom of the shaver there is a hole to let the moisture out.

I don't use it, always keep the head in floating position. My guess is that if you want to only use one of the two heads, one is locked and you have a little more control of what your are shaving. Not a feature I would pay extra for, since I don't use it.

The leading edge of the beard trimmer blade is 1 1/4" wide. The cutting teeth occupy 1 inch of the width (leaving 1/8" non-cutting "blade" width on either side of the actual teeth.) I wear a "close-trimmed" beard. I usually set the trimmer on "3", sometimes "2". This unit handles the "close cropped" beard very well. I disagree with the complaints about "flimsy plastic" on the blade shield/housing. Just hold the blade shield/housing with "normal" pressure against your beard and there should be no problem for "close cropped" beards.

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.

The razor pictured has a 3-piece, vs the butterfly twist to open of the Razorock Jaws razor. I have both, a butterfly and a 3-piece, Edwin Jagger DE89Lbl. Razors are aggressive to gentle, and what you require or prefer will depend on your skin, whisker toughness, lather and blade. The best you can do is try a few and see what you are happiest with. Aggressiveness depends on how much blade is exposed after closing the razor or tightening the head. Also, the blade As much as I'd like to tell folks I have a barbed wire beard, the reality is I prefer my Edwin Jagger's more gently configuration. A good Q & A can be found at the Badger and Blade website. Good luck.

It won't "SHAVE" you, but it will give a very close trim with either of the heads. The smaller head is great for getting into tight places with "detailed" accuracy. The 2 guides are usable for hair, beards, or mustaches. I'm enjoying mine - greatly.

You can expect 3 shaves. That's actually really good since I shave my head and face with the same blade. Hope this helps.

It has a razor side and a trimming side and I have never used the razor side which you would need for a clean shave. The trimming side would be ideal for trimming of your bikini area but the rest I am ignorant of.

I use both straight and curved. Curved are nice to cut hair around the paws and around the face/muzzle. The straights are used more and some groomers use straights for everything. I like shears direct but not these particular ones, the blunt nose blue ones did not work for me they just folded the hair. I have had very good luck with there other scissors.

Yeah they appear to have the same backing. But you may just have my problem, a thick beard. I usually have to change out the blade after every way I shave.

I think that there is no difference. I do not see the difference in the description of both models. I do not recommend this model if you intend to use on the face for clean shaving, suitable only for beard or stubble.

I don't know how to measure exactly how close the sensitive comb shaves, but it is VERY close. perhaps 1 or 2 mm... it leaves just stubble, but there are no nicks and cuts in my experience. Shaving closer carefully with a blade like the Fusion or even safer, a women's blade like the Venus Proskin, produces a smooth shave. Based on rave reviews for close shaves from the Philips Norelco BG2040 BodyGroom Pro, I bought that one but found that trying to shave pubic hair resulted in painful cuts.

The 1150 doesn't have any right-or left-handed tendencies. I am left-handed and it works fine for me. I will sometimes switch the shaver to my right hand when I'm shaving the right side of my face to come at a few areas from a different angle.

I do not understand the question. I have been shaving with Braun Shaver for over 25 years, my beard is somewhat softer then shaving with a razor.

The shaving head can be turned sideways to get into the questionable area. The shaving area goes right up to the end of the shaving head. Never owned a Braun before, just Norelco. Just thought I'd try something new/different. Hope this helps.
