How long does the hair have to be? Been shaving my chin, and have a shadow now. Need something to leave no shadow and also not wait for it to grow.

I used it for the some thing, mine was pretty short so I don't think it matters on length. Be careful though, it gave me chemical burns, a rash & ingrown hairs on my chin.

Shouldn't be a problem with length just leave it on for the recommended amount of time but be careful not to leave on too long and use after product to sooth skin.

The hair can be very short. I barely let mine become visible when I use the cream. That is about once a week. You do need to time how long it takes to remove hair. I started with the suggest 3 minute minimum and found I needed more time. For me it is 4 to 4 1/2 minutes. Longer and the skin becomes irritated. I do not use as thick a layer as the say. I find it works for me as long as I can see a thin layer of cream.

What I've learned is that every African American beard is NOT the same. You have to give it a shot yourself to determine what's best for YOU and almost have to ignore everyone who tells you what does and doesn't work. Having said that, although I think the Magic Shave powder works best for me, it's very inconvenient. The Wahl shaver is the best runner up that I've found and have been using it for over a year. This is the first time I'm not even considering an alternative. If you give it a shot, you should wait after 2 weeks before deciding if it works because it takes about that long for your hair to adapt. AND I also have to use a trimmer prior to shaving because the shaver only works on micro short hairs. I'm in my 40's and only recently found something that works best for me so the best of luck to you.

Sorry - Just a little late here, but since I doubt you've grown back your hair (neither have I), then you are still looking for the elusive shaver to master 3x as many tough spots as the average bro. I love the Panasonic Vortex on my face, neck, and head. I have used rotary shavers, and most recently had been a loyal Braun consumer. So I have experience with all kinds. I got 5 years out of my first Braun, but since the last one barely made 2 years (not very long IMHO for a $150 shaver) I decided to look around. LOVE the Panasonic. I like it 2x as much as the Braun. I get nearly as close a shave from it as I do with a Gilette Fusion.

Hello Hanna, How are you? I bought this product and I use it remove hair from my armpits. However I do use it on my mother's upper lip as well. Because the hair on your chin is described to be thick, then this is the wax for you. Apply a thin layer of wax to the desired area, place your cloth over it, rub in the direction of the hair growth until the wax feels somewhat hardened (5 seconds or so) and then pull in the opposite direction. I'm not a professional at this. I just watch a lot of videos. I usually apply a little bit of baby powder before putting the wax on my skin. Don't forget to gently blow the wax when it's on the stick before applying it to your face. Good luck!

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.

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.

With mine, it started out as a 65 minute shave time, but as I keep using it, it has gone up to 84 minutes. I don't know how far up it will go.

If you are going to let it grow out, you will definitely want to use the trimmer side first to take your beard down and then use the foil side for a nice clean shave. The trimmer side does a pretty good job of bringing it into a manageable length for the foil side. It will take a bit more time with the trimmer side than if you were to use actual hair trimmers. This will do the job for sure but maybe not as quick as you might want it to. I hate shaving too and this has been one of the best that I have used and I still love it. Definitely keep it clean and it will keep your face happy. Hope this helps!!

No it will leave stubble. To get the area you want completely bald you will need a men's or women's electric razors made for that or you could just shave the area with a regular Double edge razor. It does do good job with cutting your hair down to as close as possible. it is a good little machine . I have had mine now 2 years and is still as sharp as the day I received it. It also comes with smaller battery operated AA size razor that will cut the hair closer!

Depends on how long they are; don't expect a close shave with this device. It's a trimmer, not a shaver, so it is more likely to leave stubble. Personally, I prefer to use this around my eyebrows for safety (I just think putting an exposed blade around your eyes is a dangerous thing), and use a facial shaver, like the Panasonic Pivoting Head Shaver, for my cheeks and the lower half of my face.

Sorry but I am only using it for my face but it works great for that purpose, there might be something better out there for shaving the head.

I think it may depend on how long you want it to work well--facial hair is tougher on blades than the rest of your body hair is, so you'll just dull the blade extra fast. There are plenty of shavers made for facial and head hair if that's what you're looking for, and I think they'll do a better job for you.

If it did, I'd be growing a full beard and mustache. :) I've been using this product for years. The hair definitely does not come back thicker and/or darker.

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.

With chin length hair you would probably need to use the medium sized rollers which would make the curls tighter. I use the jumbo size on my hair and I like the results. I hope this helps.
