is this good for shaving?

Daniel: No clipper is going to give you a smooth shave. It will cut the hairs down to a very short length, but for a smooth shave you'll need a razor or an electric shaver. Still, for cutting hair, trimming beards and nabbing those long hairs that grow on your neck, this clipper is one of the best I've owned. The battery life is simply amazing. I use these clippers to cut my hair once a week down to a 3mm length. Also, used to trim my full beard. After nearly six months of use, I'm just now getting ready to recharge for the second time. Unreal! My last set of clippers didn't last two cuttings and I had to recharge. If you can get past the cost, I highly recommend this product. Daniel: No clipper is going to give you a smooth shave.

My son is a colourist/stylist. And this was a christmas gift and he loves it.

I use it for shaving per se but it doesn't give you a close shave. From the moving blade to the tip is about 1mm long. What you'll probably need to do (like me) is use it but use a foil shaver right after for a closer shave.

Sorry, I do not use shaving cream. This shaver is most effective when use dry.

This shaver definitely works. I use it to shave my head. It provides a very close, smooth, and comfortable shave for my head. Trust me, it works extremely well!

Sorry but I am only using it for my face but it works great for that purpose, there might be something better out there for shaving the head.

It's perfect for keeping a beard well groomed, it can handle stubble but it's not a close as a double-edge razor. It does come with 3 attachments that can help with length.

no as it is a trimmer, not a razor. I have a razor and trimmer and use them based on what I need to do.

Yes; when used properly it's the closest you can get to using a razor. Without irritating your skin. In my opinion of course

I would not recommend it for after shaving. It can irritate the skin. Of course, you may see how that can work for you. Everyone's skin is different. When I used it, it left my skin pink from irritation. But it goes away.

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.

Absolutely. And for an electric shaver it can give you a pretty close shave once you've figured out how to use it. Keep the batteries fresh and gently press it straight down as you shave for the closest shave. Great for bikini line and armpits, as well. I haven't had an ingrown hair since I started using it.

My husband uses it to trim before shaving. Says it works great. He only shaves about once a week.

No cord is used for shaving operations. There is a cord to recharge the battery, and a recharge is good for weeks.

I don't shave my head, but I can't imagine why this wouldn't work well for you. I am absolutely sold on this razor for normal face-shaving duties.

It would work perfectly fine for junk shaving as body shaving. Be careful around the sack park. It can bite :)

I don't use the shaver for that purpose so I don't know. However, I would not be afraid to try it because of how it handles the other areas...especially since the shaver is meant to be used wet with a generous amount of shaving cream.

I don't know- but I would not recommend it. There are special lotions out there for electric shavers, so you might want to look into that. I have always used a razor- I tried an electric shaver once and it's not for me.
