not for everyone [SEP] i wanted this to work for me mainly because i do not have to be clean shaven that often with my job what i was hoping for is when i needed to be clean shaved that i would be able to grab this and get the job done that did not happen i have always used clippers to trim down the initial facial hair and then come in with either a manual razor or and electric razor to finish the job to get a super close shave i do not know if it because my facial hair is so thick but it required multiple passes on areas like the chin or the necks and still did not get really close to the skin i would say this shaver would be great maybe for a person maintaining their clean shave but not to get that initial clean shaved look the shaver itself does charge fast and is easy to clean
