After several uses to get used to it, I believe it is better than a razor. In fact, it saved me. My neck is very sensitive and I want to have a clean shaven look, so I shave every day or every other day depending on the period. Now I don't cut myself at all while before, no matter how careful I was with razors (Gillette), I always cut myself at least once. Now I neither get irritated nor cut myself, I have almost the same quality of shaving (it's true that nothing compares to a razor, but it still looks clean shaven) so if your skin is a priority and you shave every day, it's an opportunity to upgrade to a machine. However, you will still wake up 5 minutes earlier for work/school or anything else because it is a bit slower as it requires several passes from many directions, while with a razor you just do one swipe and that's it. See what you prefer and choose this as a product; it is very satisfactory (at least for me).

It is for everyday use and not for 2 or 3-day stubble.. meaning it is for skin trimming.. I do not recommend it at all. We have it in service because it barely shaves and irritates the skin since it requires many repetitions to catch the hairs, which it does not catch all but very few. My son has only used it 2 times and my father tried once and got frustrated.. money wasted
