Hi, I'm very prone to ingrown neck hairs and am considering this for my neck. Can it be used on the neck and face as a shaver on a daily basis?

Absolutely! That is what I use it for! I also use the Andis lubrication and antibacterial spray on the blades before every use, I would recommend doing the same to extend the life of your blades.

If you use it, also use a portable trimmer like the Remington MSC-140 Men's Titanium Battery Operated Foil Travel Shaver. It will give you a close cleaner shave in combination. Bump stopper 2 is always something wonderful to use everyday to combat the ingrown hairs. Also a mild facial scrub twice a day - depending on skin type. I use the Andis maybe 3 times a week, and the portable nightly before shower. No razor bumps - no ingrown hair... Hope this helps!

It shaves close to the skin but not like a razor u will love it.. no hair bumps

No, I tried it for that and it gave me the worst irritation I ever experienced because the blades get hot very fast. Stick to trimmers designed for the face. This trimmer is also very heavy and awkward to handle on yourself.

It is very moisturizing which may help to get a close shave without causing ingrown hairs or acne. It is probably dependent on one's sensitivity to its ingredients. It does seem to limit irritation from shaving by softening skin.

Yes, however there are reservations and considerations. It is excellent with light hairs that are not your mustache or beard. Underneath your eyes for example. I tweeze to trim my beard and mustache. You can use it in lieu of shaving but it will be painful and will takesome time to get used to it. If you get bumps from shaving, you will get bumps from epilating. I use it on my face but not my whole face. I have a beard. My wife uses it on her face but she has no coarse hairs. I got her the ladies version as it is a bit gentle. Hope this helps.

Although I haven't tried with this product, the reason any of the body trimmers advise against using it to shave above the neck is that the hair on the face is much different than hair elsewhere. It can dull and dent the blades designed to shave other places. I'm sure you don't want to use dull and bent blades where this razor is intended to go.

Razor works great on face and neck. I used it on longer hair on the back of my neck recently so I think it may work well on your head. Give it a shot. Worse case return it.

Hello Karen, as a guy the only reason i got it is to use it on my face, as i dont shave the hair on my upper cheeks, so instead i remove them with it instead. So yes you can, could be a lil painful in the first couple touches but your face will kinda get numb. I hope this addresses your concern. Thanks

Yes, if it is a "wet" shaver (one that you can use either wet or dry), it is not a problem and I would actually HIGHLY RECCOMMEND it. I've gotten a much better shave using it with my electric than without it.

Scarlett, I use it on these areas, but you really have to hold the skin taut. It can can really pull your skin, but you don't have to use it as often as a shaver. Good luck!

I use mine on my chin, upper lip and to get an occasional long hair from my neck. It is not meant for total use on your neck. Reading the enclosed manual would be best. Annette, enjoy this product. It is great.

I would say depending on your skin type. Since the shaver has 4 blades shaving feels bladey. If you have sensitive skin may result in irritation unless you use it during bathing perhaps. Functionality it should work.

Yes. That would be considered a designed use for the Braun. I use it for those little chin hairs and those fine mustache hairs we ladies often sprout as we age. It ships with different covers for the head section so you can choose the shape that works best for a particular body area. Sure, it will sting a bit the first few times you use it in a new area, but over time the hair roots seem to weaken and I no longer notice any discomfort.

It can be used on human head hair, but is not a shaver for facial hair. It is small and would dull quickly on human hair.

Yes, it works really great for facial razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Used daily, my husband noticed a big difference in just a few days. I use it on my legs and arms for ultra smooth skin.

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!

Not so well! As it works brilliantly to shave the neck and face it does not translate well to other parts of the body!

I think this answer most likely varies from person to person. However, my experience with this shaver, it works well any direction I've tried once my skin adjusted to the new shaver. I typically shave with and against the grain, depending on what part of the neck I'm shaving.

They clearly state that it shouldn't be used from the neck upwards. I used at the borderline of the neck and it does hurt. At first you'll feel like you sort of burned yourself then it becomes a habit. I wouldn't recommend it for facial hair.
