I recently had spinal fusion surgery and cannot bend. I'm female and need a shaver with an extension to shave my legs. Can this work for me if I'm sitting?

It can, but it will not be a close shave. You will have stubble, about 1/8 cm long. No one will notice, but you will feel it if you rub your hand over it. For me, this has been a great product, though.

Yes, just tried before answering. as able to keep my back straight up while seating, i was able to do the motion. Will tell you, for a female, it might not get as close as you want. Takes a couple of tries over a area to get perfect smooth.

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

I believe it will work. You may have to run over an area a time or two, but it should do the job.

No !!!! The Man groomer is JUNK!! I waisted my money on it. It looks like a good idea but it's made so cheaply that it don't work. If lucky you will get 1 use out of it. Before it breaks. I bought the original one and the new improved one. Just to make sure both JUNK. Don't buy it!

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!

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.

Try it using a very small amount of liquid soap or a thin layer of shave cream. I just tried the one Braun sent to me while my 300 series is being repaired(under warranty). It worked for me but of course, no electric will work as well as a DE blade. Try the thin layer of shave cream, rinse the blade after a few passes and see if it helps. Electric razors...no matter what the ads say, do not work well on anything more than a few days growth.Good luck!

Kevin, I bought this for my mom to use with her wheelchair. It may work for you in your car as it is pretty comfortable and fairly thick. The only issue may be if your seat slants back. Since the cushion is all one thickness, your tailbone may be too low and the top of our thighs may be too high. It would all depend on what part of you might feel tired or uncomfortable after being in the car for a while. If you are able to adjust your seat though as I can with mine, it might work. It would definitely add cushioning and relieve pressure on your tailbone.

I'm not familiar with your razor, however, if it is a multiple blade configuration then there is no way to control the angle of attack as all blades are set together. I use Gillette Fusion blades and the razor sharpener has worked well. I'm on the same cartridge now for 2 months, I use to get 1 week use out of a cartridge.

Yep, but the cord isnt very long, and its kind of annoying to shave with it. But it works if youre in a pinch and need to shave but your battery is dead. It can also "quick charge" if you let it charge for a few minutes, it will last long enough to get a quick shave in.

Yes, but I believe the motors on all cordless shavers wear out. I replaced the blade on mine, and it still has trouble trimming my sparse hair. Get a new Peanut.

I got the shaver for my aunt.I wouldnt recommend it for men.But I would imagine its possible.Kinda dainty though

Don't know about Gillette Fusion specifically, but generally it works great with any kind of electric razor.

Don't understand the end of your question. Good shaver. Wish it was cordless

Works really great for my arms and back. Though sometimes it might leave bumps if your skin is irritated. As far as legs it didn't work for me I just stick with the schick hydro silk 5 replaceable razors they work miracles.

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 think it would have been more helpful before the surgery. I don't know what's involved with your surgery. Hopefully no vertebrae were fused. If they were, I would be asking your doctor. If all your vertebrae are moving freely, I would give it a try. I am not a Dr. so this is only an option. Just a massage therapist. BTW: Chiropractors are the guys for nerve decompression not cutters.

I would highly recommend taking it to a chiropractor or physical therapist to have them show you. But if you can't, then try to get it just above your pubic bone, and make sure it is level all the way around. When you sit, it should not affect the bend in your hips.

I'm also African-American and can not use razors also. I have used this to (shave/trim) my full beard for 2 years with no problems. I even got ride of razor bulbs using Organic Root Stimulator (ORS). This will be a great choice for you. It provides a smooth, close (dry)shave.

If youre razor is 4 and one half inches long or longer when closed and it is the same width or smaller than the handle of a safty razor then you should be able to slide it in the same slot standing up.I hope this helps.
