While every experience is different and personal, this razor has been great for me. I will try to tell you why.

If you are expecting to just yank this unit out of the box and get a great shave, let me know how that goes for you. In general, I have found that you have to sort of "tweak" your shaving routine using this razor (oh, and follow the instructions).

I have read that some people do not like the trimmer. I can see where this might be the case. It's a little less than precision. So, I do not use it myself for all kinds of trimming. However, I do use it as part of my daily shaving routine. For me, it works better if I use the trimmer to go over the entire face first, and then follow up with the electric razor, which then gives me a very close shave (but not so close as to cause bumps).

I have used a Remington Black Men's Electric Shaver for over 5 years with great results. The only problem is they don't make it anymore as far as I can tell and my current one has a nick in the screen that scratches my face. So I tried this bump free Wahl. It basically did not do as advertised. It was supposed to trim the whiskers above the surface so that they don't curl back in under the skin like lift and cut or close shave razors do. This Wahl basically took off a top layer of skin and lifted pulled and chewed out most of my whiskers while just laying some down without cutting them at all.

I've decided to go to the disposable type black men's bump control razor I can get at Walmart. While it takes me a little longer to shave than electric, it is doing the type of job my old Remington did.

Hope this helps. If you want bump control for curly facial hair, DO NOT BUY THIS!!!

This shaver is worth its weight in gold. It gets so close but doesn't leave your face feeling burned. I recommended this shaver to my brother who is now a happy user as well.
