I am older, and my skin has become very sensitive. Regular razors hurt my face. Will this razor do the job?

Doris,I am 77 and have used safety razors, and electric shavers over the years. This Norelco does an adequate job, and does not bother my skin. However, it seems underpowered in comparison to my previous one, and I'm not sure it does as good a job.N. W. Courtney

Do not press and drag the shaver. Pretend that you are shaving a balloon. The Norelco will do the job.

My skin is sensitive also. This is perfect. I also use Cortizone 10 on my face after and never have red or burning at all.

This razor is the smoothest shave that I have ever experienced. I have used a Norelco for years but this is the most outstanding one that I have ever used. I had to make sure that it was actually cutting my beard because it was so smooth. I believe that it is the new heads they have come up with that make it this way but when in doubt go for it as it will not disappoint.

I am much older and have always had very sensitive skin. I can only use a regular razor for a week. I have used electric shavers for 65 years. I bought my first Philips 45 years ago. This one is the best I have had.

I also have a sensitive skin and I have been using Philips razors for over 30 years without a problem.

Yes. Excellent, but it hurts until you get used to it. I would test just a small place on your face to make sure your skin doesn't get irritated. Probably use it on a Friday so you've got Saturday and Sunday to see how it does.

My girlfriend has borrowed my razor several times before (just make sure to switch blades, I've been told once a blade is used for body hair it will cut up the face) and we both noticed that she had much softer skin and a much closer shave. She did say it was harder to use than a normal razor, but she really liked how it didn't damage her skin at all.

I thought the same thing with my Edwin Jagger de89lbl. That when I first put the derby razor on that it was not out far enough. But then as I used it the blade gently removed the hair from my face giving me a close shave and did not leave me with any razor burn. Any more razor blade sticking out for me would of cut me and gave me razor burn all over. I have read on amazon some people need or like the adjustable razor angle like the mekur futur.

Yes, it is great for any minor skin irritation, burns, scratches, including relieving razor burn. Great face wash too.

Yes it does. At first i was having a hard time with it because i used to shave so the hair on my face was thick. I used it every week the hair on my face now is light and soft . But to tell you the truth it sting a lot worsted when the hair was thick. I have extremely sensitive skin.

In my case blade shaving irritated my skin. The electric will do the same if you press too hard but it is the convenience of not having to lather up but can shave on the go at most any time that appeals to me. An electric like this will not shave a beard unless you buy the one with a built in trimmer.

Personally, I have extremely sensitive skin, so I use the Nivea anti-irritation shaving gel with my Panasonic shaver. It leaves my skin very smooth and it really alleviates irritation. I also recommend using the Nivea anti-irritation aftershave balm if you have sensitive skin.

You have a smaller head that works well for the sensitive face areas. It is not painful and you can use a bit of vitamin a and cortisone cream to avoid irritation the first day. After that just exfoliate and maintain epilation every week ( the hairs will become way softer and less likely to become ingrowns)

depends. I would guess yes. I actually use it to clean up all the way to my hairline as well as my shoulders. I take the blade thing out when I do it so it's easier to maneuver. be careful, it can scrape you, but it's still better than all the ingrown hairs and bumps from normal razors.

Yes, it does in some cases. It depends on where you are shaving and what causes your bumps. Sometimes getting a cream to rub over the more 'sensitive' area's after a shave will completely eliminate those nasty little bumps even on the most sensitive areas. However, if we are talking legs, I have never gotten razor burn from an electric razor.

I would think this or any electric razor would be fine for somebody with pimples, better than a regular razor.

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.

It CAN be. This depends on a) how temperamental your skin is and b) where (what area of your body) you are going to use it on. You won't have much use of it, let's say, on your legs or underarms. On the face, you should first test it - there is nothing in here that should provoke an irritation, BUT, some people's skin is sensitive after shaving. So try it on your cheek or chin first, and try it before, and after, shaving. One might work better for you than the other. Also, I am not sure what you expect from this product, but keep in mind that it is for deep-cleansing and shrinking pores. I find that it also firms and tightens my face a bit, and smoothies out any bumps on my upper arms and chest. It CAN be.

Yes absolutely, I too also have very sensitive skin, I have been using this for over 20 years and it's the best.

I'd say so. That's pretty much what it is -- I think it works better than pre-shave oils. It basically makes it much easier for the razor t glide across ur skin. It also does a great job of reducing or eliminating irritation altogether. I use it as a pre-shave and post-shave baum.
