The shaver works well, but I don't find it shaves close enough so I am having to shave more often but it is pretty quick.
I was very excited to try this product and was mostly happy with it. I like the design, size, and look of the product. I really enjoy being able to shave without water, it is so convenient when I need to shave quick. I will be taking this to the lake in a couple weeks for this reason! I actually prefer to use it dry because it didn't seem to be any closer of a shave in the shower. The light is very neat. Overall it is good, but I don't think I would pay that much for a razor.
I was fortunate to receive this razor from a contest from Chickadvisor.
I was very excited to receive this in the mail after anxiously awaiting it after receiving an e-mail that it was on its way, after a little happy dance and I removed it from its packaging I started to feel a little overwhelmed by the size of the instruction Manual, once I opened it I was pleasantly surprised that the reason it was so big was the instructions were offered in a numerous amount of languages not just your standard, English, French and Spanish. I learnt that my razor needed an initial charge of 10 hours so I plugged it in right away. I also learned that this razor can be used on wet or dry skin.
After 10 hours of charge I tried this baby out, I must say I was a little apprehensive as I've used an electric shaver before and it pulled the hairs and was very uncomfortable, this was not the case with this razor I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and easy to use this razor was, I used this razor dry and begs on my legs my hair wasn't that long as I had shaven my legs a few days prior. I feel in love with the opti-light as it ensured I did not miss areas as I clearly had before by the legnth of hair in certain areas. After my first leg I had to feel my leg and wow was it smooth!!! After Both legs were completed I decided to try my armpits,this was very simplistic all you need to do is ensure the skin is pulled flat and you get a very close shave, then to the bikini area, I will admit I wasn't as fussy over this tender area with this razor even with the attachment I found this to be quite time consuming and ended up finishing with my razor.
The clean up is a sinch!!! You can either use the brush provided or run this under warm water. This razor is small and very portable, it is kind of pricy however comparable to any other electric razor I would recommend this razor to anyone, especially those who are on the go a lot, as you do not have to use water or shave gel.
I really liked using this electric razor, by far my favourite part was the built in light, so useful for seeing those hidden patches that you always seem to miss! You get a pretty close shave with this razor but it takes some practice. It's heavier (though rechargeable and portable) and you need to apply pressure differently and go at a slightly different speed. Once you get the hang of it, it is easy though. The heads move up and down so it works well on the curves of your legs too.
I've found that it is quite good for sensitive skin, I haven't had any complaints yet. I am very prone to ingrown hairs and I have found that I've been getting less lately. You also get attachments with this razor for bikini line trimming- very useful!
I was lucky enough to take this razor for a test drive so I was given one by Phillips. That being said, while I really like the razor and feel that it is good quality, it was very pricey and I wouldn't normally purchase one on my own. At almost $80, it's an awesome product but just too out of my budget, however, I think something like this would be a great item to receive for Xmas or a birthday. Also, with Mother's Day around the corner, I know it would make my mom quite happy to receive this!
