Am I the only one who nicks the privates when using this?

Although rare...I experienced minor nicks to the private area when using the foil end. Take the following steps:1. Prepare area with Neutrogena Men's Sensitive Skin Shave Cream...this is an excellent product...not only for your face.2. After using the shaver, rinse off the blades and use either Remington Shaver Saver, or Phillips Norelco Aerosol Spray Cleaner on the cutting blades.I usually shave my private area every 2 weeks...the Results are well worth the extra steps using these quality products. You'll be 'Proud' to show-off. To whom...that's up to you...

I don't use it on the jewels, just the rest of the body, I use a 5 blade disposable razor instead for them. Area around is performed w/ the shaver though. If you are nicking yourself a lot it might be time to buy new foil blades.

Which end are you using that you are able to nick yourself? Trim all the hair down to a reasonable length with the clipper end and then use the razor end to take all the hair off. Take your time in a well lit area and to not try to hack at the hair. I find that pulling the skin taut prevents any close calls. It may also help to have someone assist you by using the razor and you just direct. If the blade needs replacing it will pull the hair and cause irritation. I have never managed to nick myself with this though like I have with standard hair clippers.

Use a shaving gel dammit - and never shave dry! Some of these comment's are very painful to read. Have they happened because they're shaving dry? Or even shaving without a shaving gel. I have to wonder.

I have used all models. This one is the least likely to nick or chaffe the skin due to the flexible head. If you pull the skin taut while shaving the private areas it's more likely to pull or nick the skin. Of course their is no perfect way, I've just learned from lots of nicking myself. Staying clean with a few nicks still beats the alternative.

Simply use your finger to pivot the teeth so the foil doesn't contact the skin at all. Do this wet.

If you're using it dry, the foil will stick causing the head to tilt and the side cutters to dig into the skin. You can avoid this by shaving wet and lathering up first. This will lubricate the foil allowing it to glide over the skin easier. Go slow and things should improve. Despite that, however, it still feels like it's nicking me when I try to shave my "coin purse", but I don't see any blood or obvious injury. I think it's just catching and pulling on the hairs, creating a pinching sensation.

I've used this and the previous model, and only drew blood once. This one is soooo much better. I use it every day without nicks, cuts, or irritation. And I have super sensitive skin. Also you my try using shaving oil. Works tons better than shaving cream. :)

Those are the tough areas with this shaver. I will try to use the lock for those areas and see how it does. Thx.

I have never faced this problem myself. I'm using this phone for almost two years, and the only reason I can think off is that you may be accidentally using the hold call key.

I don't, but read in ine of the reviews that another user did. I haven't noticed anything bad with leaving it out.

Yes, I have had it with mine too... I just ignore it :/ I assumed it just needed a little grease or tightened.

the instructions say you can I have done it by accident once, but don't use it generally

Yes I have issues with nicks also, some were painfull. I've only used the razor once to shave my nuts, I'm going to be more carful next time I use it. Soap might work too. Probly just go slow and take your time.

I too have noticed that sometimes. I think it has a lot to do with the angle of the flat iron. Or how much hair you put on the flat iron. If you put a small section of hair on the flatiron and position it in the middle of th blue pallet, that seems to reduce the chaces of that snagging thing. Yes; its sort of annoying and it can be a problem. Still a great flatiron I think!

Mine does this, too. Not a big deal for me. I always just remember top left for SRC button.

Yes. Happens to me every 10 seconds or so. Annoying, to say the least, and quite possibly a deal breaker. I've contacted Sharkk customer service about it - will let you know what they come back with.

Privacy means to prevent others from looking what i am doing on the iphone!

No, and you definitely wouldn't want it to. That would be the most annoying thing ever. It sounds cool when you do it once manually, but you'd get annoyed if it did it all the time.

not sure, but it seems others have the same idea i do, turn it off at nite.

That's funny, I just read other responses after I posted mine and saw someone else used the term naked!

Not really. I was afraid of that too, and it happened with TemperPedic, but this seems cool. However, it's in a spare room, I use it infrequently.
