Do you recommend this shaver for a close bikini shave?

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.

DEFINITELY NOT! Some like it, but I personally prefer shaving with a razor 'cause it leaves the area nice & smooth, as opposed to this shaver which still leaves short short hair. Visually I was like "wow this really works" but when I ran my hand through I could still feel it prickly.. it felt like I'd shaved about one or two days before I actually had. Honestly my boyfriend just liked the razor better -- I know not all guys have the same likes blah blah but that's just to give you a male point of view, I guess. And I mean let's not even talk about shaving down under lol it's just not a comfortable size to use in between the legs. My friend, the one that recommended me this shaver, was like "ohh just use the pop up trimmer!" It was all fun & dandy.. until it pulled on a hair. Honest to God: the startle made me do that little jump (very dangerous with something like that down there) and my eyes even watered. That is something I never EVER want to experience again. Just like you, bikini area was basically the major reason why I wanted this shaver. It was seriously the first thing I shaved when the shaver arrived; unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed /: For the rest, though, like arms & legs, ughh it is SUCH a life saver & WAYY more comfortable than the razor (with the occasional pull, of course). I've also never been cut with this shaver sooo yipee! That's a BIG plus for me. I mean I've even shaved in the car on my way to somewhere. It's super awesome on that note though. Soo.. what I do is just keep the razor in the shower, strictly for bikini use, but that's it. The rest I shave with this shaver (: Hope this helped!

It gives a close shave for underarms and legs but have not used it as bikini shave

I think i'd have to say yes. Of course it is bot going to be as good as a real razor shave but it would probably be the closest thing to it and without the irritating bumps leave behind. I even used this on my underarms and it worked really well.

this has been my answer to bump free bikini zone. hands down this has been a life saver. i can use it every day before putting on a swim suit. IMPORTANT that you have short hair to start with!!! so go SLOW SLOW SLOW with the pop out trimmer first.. it will snag on the long hairs if you go too fast. I use it DRY.

Yes. I had a lot of issues with razor burn and bumps. I actually have two of these. A small for travel and a large for home. I won't be going back to Gillette style anytime soon.

I use this shaver twice a week to shave as close as possible, and I do not get cut. It's not a fully clean shave like a razor blade, but it gets close to 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!

Since the Razorba gives you the reach and a great angle for shaving you may get too much pressure with the old school blades. Using a cartridge shaver works great. I use the original mach3. With the mach3 and cartridge shavers you are guaranteed a comfortable shave. It's impossible to cut your face or back with a mach3/cartridge, but not so, probably with those ninja sharp feather blades. I guess if you're a pro with a DE then it shouldn't be a problem. The Razorba is the BEST back hair shaver on the market, you'll definitely love it.

It is an excellent razor. You might want to look at somme Youtube videos on wet shaving. It takes longer than the Gillette 5 blade razors, but done right you will not have ingrown hairs, and will get a close shave. The most important factor is using a good shaving soap - I use a brush and bowl to work up a good lather, and I use Derby blades which are not too sharp but work well. You might buy a sampler pack from Amazon and find which blades work for you. Don't be put off by the information. I will never go back to Gillette/Shick, etc razors. 100 blades costs me $10, shaving soap is cheap and I get a great shave each morning with a small cut a rarity.

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.

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!

Yes, you shouldn't have any problems. However I actually recommend using the beard trimmer; the body grooming head tends to shave much too close and the trimming edges can snag very easily. I find that using this head causes razor bumps 99% of the time, so your best bet is using the beard trimmer and then maybe the close shave head if you want.

I bought them for my bf. He says it shaves pretty close but not as close as a razor. Hope this helps :)

It works great on the private areas, no nicks but a nice close shave. one of the best shavers I've ever had for shaving any area of the body. works good on men or women as mine has been used by both.

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 doesn't give a shave as good as a shaver, but it gives clean shave when you combine it with another razor, like the wahl balding razor. you should be okay if you use both.

As long as you have a Current Converter you should be good to go. I have to say that the shave is really smooth and thee ability to clean the blade wit water is an added bonus. Let me know if you have any more questions.

It's very close,probably the closest you can get to clean shave without using a razor but is not quite as close as a razor

My experience is that it does not work like a razor. In fact, I didn't have much luck with it at all. It would work well for a very smooth surface like your face, but I was hoping to use it for my bikini line, and it didn't shave close enough to be used for rougher skin surfaces. Plus the shaving head is very small, only a fraction of the size of a razor. I used it for about two minutes and ended up throwing it away.

I doubt you can buy an electric razor that gives that close of a shave...only razors will do that. This does give a decently close shave, though I recommend getting a Braun. The beard trimmers on the backside of these suck and pull hair.
