I am trying to use this to shave but all it does is painfully rip out my beard hair, what am I doing wrong?

There are only two possibilities that I can think of - one, make sure the blades are oiled, and two, try to hold the clipper blade at a 45 degree angle to the surface of your face. Hope this helps.

The blades may be adjusted to close or your facial hair is to curly or long

Sounds like you have loose skin. Try pulling your skin tight and with the bottom of the blade flush against your face, shave without scraping. Also try using a pre-shave oil to soften the hair prior to shaving.

I bought the same trimmer and for some reason the factory dont set up the blade properly so you need to adjust the blade right so the trimmer can cut the hair right. If you need assistance on how to adjust the blade you can youtube it. I hope this help

I think these clippers are just meant for really short hair and to be used for a short time. Maybe just for fading and lining up.

See if the blades are set right look up videos how to zero gap a gtx its a very soft cutting blade

I oiled mine right from the box and take it slow. I've not had any problems, but it could also depend on the type of hair you have.

It might be too big for beard trimming, a smaller trimmer might be better. That said, it probably would work, but may not be the best choice for just beard trimming.

It works great on my beard. I'm growing mine out and I use this to trim it every few weeks to keep it even. The directions recommend not rushing, use smooth, gentle movements and trimming from multiple directions.

I replaced cutterheads and it didn't really help. I boiught a new razor,more expensive, and it isn't doing a satisfactory job either. I am puzzled

I can't recommend using this shaver in as sensitive place as a bikini line. Plus the cutting blades are a small portion of the head of the razor so I'm not sure you would get the results (I'm guessing) you're looking for. It will give you razor burn if over used.

i would contact amazon first then the vender. i returned mine asap as i was disappointed on the quality of the end result, a close and tight "shave". seems the norelco type shaving head does non work well on the head.

I have the exact same problem. I was wondering if I should buy a replacement head but seeing as everyone else has this problem, I guess I need a completely different shaver for body grooming. Shame on you Norelco. 1 star.

I'm sorry, I don't use it as a razor. I use the attachments to trim my beard and also my hair.

Mine work great although I do not use the comb(s). Did you disconnect the blade when you oiled it. If so, ensure that you have properly put the blade back into place according to the instructions. With the blade off, see if the latch is moving back and forth which drives the clipper blade. Also remember that there are many blade types for differing lengths of cut and type of fur. (I hope this helps)

Ms. Meeker, the product description states, this is a "Philips Norelco's T780 AccuVac Beard and Moustache Trimmer". It works exceptionally well for trimming facial hair, for which it was designed. It would more than likely "Jam" if you were going to attempt to cut the hair on someone's head. The chamber that collects facial hair trimmings is very small, and intended for catching small cuttings of beard and Moustache hair. I hope this helps you.

I use mine for my beard with no problem. Didn't buy it for head. There is a small build up on the blades as you use it and you should just brush it/shake it off once in a while. I never thought of it as an issue, just normal use maintenance. The blades do not get jammed or anything. I think it is just static Electricity.

Don't start off by putting too much ice,and when you turn the lid make sure its aligned right to shave it...Try taking it off and trying again.mine worked just fine ..good luck

Nope. It's not a shaver, it's a very close trimmer. I own one and reviewed it above. It gets really really close, but a razor would get closer and in some of the areas this is designed for, that would you're likely to end up bloody if you're not extremely careful.

My buddy uses this when he shaves with his fusion, and he tells me it works great. As for the clogging, it might be due to your beard's thickness, or how narrow the gap in between each blade is.

Try using some shaving foam or gel. Also try changing the shaving action...perhaps circular motion. Hope this helps.

No, I bought the shaver to keep daily growth down as I like to use a blade only twice a week,but it wouldnt even cut small hair growth off let alone trim it. The shaver was always empty.I looked it over carefully, and it didnt seem damaged in any way. Just doesnt work.

It is not a shaver. It eppilates the hair.. Or pulls it out by the roots. Would be better to wax. This thing caused me to have horrible ingrown hairs. I had to go on antibiotic to get them to clear up. I am an nurse and researched this. It pulls the hair above the skin and breaks it off. UNlike waxing that pulls it completely out. It is painful process, the end result is smooth but the ingrown hairs are awful. I would not recommend this product at all.
