Amazing compact shaver

Amazing shaver. I have used this shaver for a few weeks now and I must say I’m impressed. It can be used on both wet or dry skin as effective. The battery last for at least 30 mins witch is more than enough. The size is ideal to take on when travelling. I’m very happy with my new shaver and I highly recommend this.

Small but great results

Very small shaver but packs a surprising punch. Great for on the go shaving, in the car or at the gym. Gives a great shave. Also has a long lasting charge so I can’t fault this at all.

Pros

Small and has lasting charge

Ideal for travels and busy days

It came in a very elegant box. I was surprised to see how small and light it is, almost like an antiperspirant size. It’s covered in a case, to protect it. I can take it with me anywhere. Only 2 blades, but effective for me. Gets rid of the hair, but my skin stays smooth, no irritation at all. I like that it works with foam and gel, as well as dry. It makes it very convenient when I travel. It’s very easy to clean. I like the battery indicator level, which shows me when it needs charging. The leaflet says 40 minutes life. For me it lasted 7 shaves, but it charges fast with USB cable. This is the bad part, it doesn’t come with a cable, so it’s a bit extra money for a cable. The only thing I don’t like too much is the shape. I prefer the narrow shape for a more comfortable grip and a faster shave. All in all, I recommend this shaver, particularly for travels or for busy days.

Pros

small and light, effective blades for my beard, smooth skin after, it works with any type of shaving spray and even dry, battery level indicator

Cons

no charging cable, the rectangle shape

Yes, I recommend this product
