Will this give a fast and close shave for the front, underside of the neck?

Will give a fast close shave on the face. The shave head will not get long hairs under the chin but they may be cut using the special attached cutter on the back of the razor. You need to see the hairs in a mirror and go after them with the cutter. I use this razor with rechargeable lithium batteries and I get many shaves before recharging them. I also like that it may be cleaned with water. Regards, Les Brown

Not necessarily fast in comparison to a full size Braun. But, it will give a good close shave, just takes a little longer, even on the neck - it'scomfortable, no rash.

Depends on how stiff your beard is an how long the hair is. I does not do well for soft long neck hair, but brissels it kills. I often shave with a razor and then use the Braun to on my to get my upper lip and chin closer. Like a previous answers, this is my 4th one. I also don't buy new heads. I just buy a new one. If they were to discontinue this shaver, I would buy 4. The heads last longer than Braun suggests, unless you drop them. I don't travel with mine - it is my daily shaver.

Yes. I use this daily and freshen with it between flights and in the evening, before I have dinner. I have had four of these things over the years and do not even bother to buy a replacement blade and foil. At this price, I just buy a new one.

Earl, since I never shave that close with this trimmer I can't say for sure. But I would guess that it would not. You would need a real shaver rather than a trimmer for that.

No, it just accepts the blade and tightens the blade down. I have found it gives a very close shave as is.

Sure... I guess. It has a popout sideburn shaver like most electrics. You can use that on a beard, but it's not very comfortable.In terms of an official, adjustable length beard grooming attachment, no.

Not so close. But it can help you reduce your beard to a length that you can easily razorshave without ruining your razor blade if you have an expensive one.

This will definitely give you a close shave but not like a razor will. But you can finish it up with the wahl 5 star shaver for the closes shave ever without the bumps and ingrown hairs.

I keep a beard, and use this for a little neck-scrape more often than I use a razor. It's certainly not going to give you a close shave like a razor would, but it'll clean you up pretty good without pulling your hair. I've found that corded clippers like this are more consistent and powerful than their cordless counterparts, which means you have less "pull".

It won't cut as close as a good shaver, but it cuts closer than any trimmer that I've ever owned. Note that it will take more passes to trim your entire head since the cutting area is only 1-1/8" wide, and will not follow the contours of your head since it will not flex (as will a shaver). I don't shave my head, but it does a great job around sideburns and around the neckline. I would buy this trimmer again for my uses.

No, but I would guess that it might not work so well. I shave with it and it gives an OK shave but leaves many longer hairs on the neck. I would think that longer hair would be hard to catch on your scalp. ps when I need a close shave I use my regular razor. Hope this helps!

No it's not just start off slow and use a lot shaving cream it will give a smooth shave.

I believe so. I think my brother, who is a barber, uses it at his barber shop. But I'm not sure. He recommended it though, says its a great razor. I bought it for my dad for his face. They say it does a nice close shave. But I'd imagine its like any typical razor where u have to cut down the hair and then use it. But I dunno I'm not a guy so I don't use one, I only see my husband use it.

Just checked wwith the person who uses it. No. You can shave really close but not " bald".

It does shave as close as a razor if you to over the area several times in slow motion.

I don't use it everywhere but I would think it would as it shaves neck area nicely in addition to my face

Body/Beard absolutely - the foil shaver while advertised for the body is not top of the line. Personally I use either a 5 blade for that extra close shave.

It would work but will not shave as close as a razor in my opinion, so keep that in mind.

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.
