Attention ladies...has anyone used this for their legs? I love the look of this razor, but was concerned being such a short handle. Thanks!

Not sure about legs. However it does handle longer hair well and cleans out easily. As a man I have found the shorter handle convenient as I have better control holding closer to the blade when it's slippery. Hope this helps.

Slide up. Unfortunately it's the usual Braun point of weakness on this shaver. The weak plastic bits inside the trimmer slider broke on mine in less than a year, even though I was extremely careful with it due to past problems with the trimmers on Braun razors. In my opinion it is designed to fail quickly so as to make this shaver a throwaway model. I would not buy it if you plan to use it for more than a year.

I'm afraid your husband may have to look and tell you. this is my 1st razor of this kind. grew up on multi blade razor's. I can tell you that it has great weight. just heavy enough you don't have to bear down. I'm using it with gillette 7'o'clock double edge refills and it shaves great. no referral at all.

It leaves stumbles... Actually, this razor cut my leg up... I even have pictures of what my leg looked like after I used this razor for the first time... It is not worth to buy

It is great on legs. It is rather awkward for other areas as the razor head is rectangular. The only other "con" is that the battery does not seem to stay charged for more than 2-3 days. The razor runs, but the motor sounds slower on day three that it did right after being charged all night. (the directions say it should have a 20 minute running time, but I don't know about that) I hope this is helpful.

I'm just trying to find my husband a descent shaver. Can anyone suggest a good one? It doesnt have to be anything really great. Just something reliable that will hold up and do the job for a few years.

I found this razor to be a bit too aggressive for my taste. I would assume that women need a razor that is more milder.

Does it come with just a regular shaving head attachment? Thinking about buying it for my wife whom sometimes her hair gets long on the legs. Her skin is very sensitive and after reading some of the reviews it seems like it will be painful when using it. I suppose that is why I am asking the question concerning a regular shaving head attachment just in case she cannot stand the pain

I bought this razor for my boyfriend for Christmas and he is left handed. This is his favorite razor he's ever had. He's had no issues with it.

I love this, as a woman, for shaving my legs and under my arms. Bought it because I wanted to save money on blades and also hated having to throw out plastic blades all the time. If you're a woman using this, avoid the back of your knees! No matter how careful I am, I cut myself there every time. Definitely a learning curve.

I am a female. I received this razor on August 17th. I used it every day and I just changed the first blade last week. That's a long time for me!

the edge of the razor where it looks like little waves is a closed comb. If it looks like it has actual open space instead of just waves it is an open comb.....it almost looks like a rake to me. Go on youtube to geofatboy, he does all kinds of razor reviews....just filter out his advertisements for his site....what i have read the open comb is a more aggressive razor, but i have no real world experience with one to back it up

Hello JJI. I have been meaning to respond to your post and used my braun 9595 for the 2nd time only today. I'm a doctor and appreciate your concern which is genuine and as you explain, far from ideal to end up with hairs in your trachy site. Unfortunately, I think you're safer staying away from this shaver for your particular concern since there was a considerable amount of small hairs that fell during my shave today. I could clearly see those hairs in the sink and since they fall out dry, they are more difficult to extract and clean. I don't know if you currently shave with 'wet' razors, but I would imagine that is the safest and cleanest way to shave around the area. Dry hairs tend to be problematic to remove and most likely to elicit the undesired inflammatory reactions although less likely obstruct the area due to their minute size. This shaver does not have a vacuum system and I don't know how it compares to others since this is my first electric shaver. Also, I can't even comment on the quality of shave at this very early stage yet but I'll leave a review in due course. I hope this is useful but please accept this at face value as my opinion only from what I've experienced personally so far. Its worth mentioning that my stubble is slightly thicker than your average stubble. All the best.

I've tried it on my legs and it works. So yes it can be used as a female shaver, it's just not girly like girls like.

I've ordered 2 similar razors from Amazon, so I'm not 100 % sure which one I'm answering about!But if you prefer a long-handled razor, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Misaki. It's very well madeand def. has a long handle. Still balances very well, and workmanship is outstanding. Usually goesfor around 15 bucks.

Me, too! I had very little trouble adjusting, though I was also nervous to switch,but it is much better for the environment. There are many videos on YouTube but just make sure you use a slick, glycerin soap, keep the area wet and soapy, and keep a light touch, letting the razor's weight do the work. Be extracareful around bones and curves. Find your favorite blade by trying sample packs available online. Good luck! You can do this!
