Can you use this shaver on your face? Upper lip etc... I am looking for something I can use instead of tweezers.

I wouldn't recommend this for use on your face. I wasn't satisfied with the results of the trimmer. As the name suggests it's a trimmer, not really an epilator or anything else. Hope this helps

You probably could. There are multiple heads that come with the shaver. I personally have not used it on my face, so I dont know how well it works.

I do all the time. It won't get you a super close shave but if you have lighter hair it does the trick. I use it to tame my eyebrows too

The epilator head, yes, I can see it being usable in the upper lip area (I'd imagine it would hurt a lot, but you'll get used to the hair being pulled out). I've been using it to remove hair in my axillae and rarely my legs. As far as eyebrows, the smaller trimmer head is supposed to be usable to trim that area, but it would require practice - I've only done it once back when I first got this item.

yes, you can use it to shave your face. There is a fine shaver, single foil shaver in the kit that works on the face but ... as I have said in other answers, it is not as close as a blade, you will see some very early 5 o'clock shadows, say like at noon.

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.

Works very well for facial hair, especially corse hair. Shaver is very powerful, but is very smooth and doesn't nip the skin.

This razor is a great option if you are willing to take your time with it. Don't apply pressure let the razor do the work. Other wide you will end up cutting your face to ribbons. If you have moles etc yes you will slice them off if you slide the razor over them. Go around them on your main pass then clean up the hair around problem area. I recommend going to YouTube and watch a video on how to shave with a de razor your face will thank you. Great razor you'll love it nothing but good

I love this. This was a very good investment. Now they are coming out with permanent hair removal, when they do I will buy that.Back to your question... my facial hair is only a small really not seen hair above my lip and it works great. I don't have a lot of hair on my face, sorry.

I have the exact same problem. I was wondering if I should buy a replacement head but seeing as everyone else has this problem, I guess I need a completely different shaver for body grooming. Shame on you Norelco. 1 star.

I wouldn't recommend using this product for that. You should buy something that is made specifically to do what you need. But honestly, I can't remember the last time I saw a woman use an 'electric' shaver for her legs. In my experience, most just use a regular razor.

Also just got one and was wondering the exact same thing. This post suggests, despite the manual, that it works fine for facial hair:http://www.amazon.com/Beard/forum/Fx35I14XJDYL4GM/Tx25ZQ15IPDYTEO/1/ref=cm_cd_dp_ef_tft_tp?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B001E0C9LI&store;=hpc

It shaves very close, but it's meant for facial hair. Don't expect a clean shave like with a razor. That said it DOES shave very close. If I normally trim my beard on #2 with most shavers, I have to use setting #4. So on #1 it'll leave the finest stubble you can imagine. Maybe that's what you are looking for?

On the upper side of the shaver, there is a "trimmer," which flips open and shut. It is pretty neat and effective, even for trimming the stray extended hairs from mustache and goatee. Or wherever. I would still have something sharp to make a clean cut off at the demarkation line if I were heading for a wedding or a job interview. Greetings, JohnW

i use this on my face - it is a little tricky on my upper lip below my nose but it works for me. There might even be a guide head with this model but i never use that.

No, this is not a close shave for every day use on the face. This is an excellent body shaver, but the attachment that comes with will easily take care of stubble on the chest and such. For use on the face, you'd want Braun Cruzer 5 Face Cruzer, 5 Face Shaver . It's by far the best I've ever used, and it's only a bit more expensive than this. It can also sit in your shower, if that's your concern.

I've never used the clippers as a beard shaver. I do use the trimmer on my facial hair though, even though it doesn't have any sort of adjustments for it. It works for me and gives you a scruff look. I would assume though that using the main clipper on a longer beard would work and could then be cleaned up with the trimmer.

I don't think it will be good for facial hair...I have not tried on face and I use it for my legs/hands only. Its too wide for face. I feel its not a good idea to use it on face.

The shaver doesn't cut my neck when shaving, but I have been using Norelco 3-head shavers for years. I would suggest using less pressure in the neck area, and repeat several times.
