I see that this razor is small compared to others. Is it only for travel?

The Hoff is the perfect travel double edge razor for any man on the go but it is not only a travel razor. The Hoff is also great for any beginners due to is great grip and weight distribution. Thank you for your interest in the Luxury Barber. Sincerely, David Lederman The Luxury Barber CS

Remembering that this is a travel shaver or for a quick shave on the go, I think the Braun is terrific for mustache, beard and sideburn trims. I use a razor to supplement when I want a real close shave. I have purchased three of these Brauns already, one as a gift and one as a backup...but still getting good use from the original after two years of frequent usage.

This in a Travel Shaver. It a good Shaver for the money but to cut 1 to 2 inch hair spend the money on a hair cutting and trimming kit. This would not be for that.

It is short, but I got used to it pretty quick. Now I prefer the shorter handle. The handle is smooth and the razor is quite heavy. You'd think it might be hard to grip when wet, but it hasn't been a problem for me. I think there is a more textured version available if that's a concern though.

Yeah you can use it for other things but it's definitely made for your back. I would use a smaller shaver for other areas

It's the best razor I've had, close shave. I would think it would work well .

I suppose it could be considered as a safety razor ... you can't get hurt by something that never arrives!

I only use it as a spare when i travel because it is smaller then the one i use every day and my sister uses it when she comes over and we both love it i hope this helps!

The shaver does have a hard covet gor the head. It also has a "lock" position on the on-off switch so it doesn't turn on accidentally in your luggage. It's s great razor.

I used this in Ireland with an adapter. It is great for travel but it is very small. I now keep it in the office for touch ups.

I believe so. I think my brother, who is a barber, uses it at his barber shop. But I'm not sure. He recommended it though, says its a great razor. I bought it for my dad for his face. They say it does a nice close shave. But I'd imagine its like any typical razor where u have to cut down the hair and then use it. But I dunno I'm not a guy so I don't use one, I only see my husband use it.

The lock button keeps the razor from being accidentally turned on while traveling. I don't think it's that big of a concern. My husband carried this in his backpack on the plane and all around our vacation (in the little carrier bag) and had no problems. Never turned on; battery good. So it all depends on how rough you are and if you want to pay more for that feature.

Yes you can. The small shaver only needs a AA battery. The bigger one will work fine with an adapter.

It's bigger than the razor from walmart. I'm 5 foot 10 inch. I can ride it but still a tad small for me..

I have found it does well in tight places.It is so light you can pick it up and put it where you want IF need be. Shave had mine for a year and have no complaints.

I haven't used the Braun so I have no basis for comparison. I have used the Panasonic and it's a great razor for the price point. Sturdy construction, shaves well even in the shower and makes for a great travel razor.

depends. I would guess yes. I actually use it to clean up all the way to my hairline as well as my shoulders. I take the blade thing out when I do it so it's easier to maneuver. be careful, it can scrape you, but it's still better than all the ingrown hairs and bumps from normal razors.
