A cheap, very gentle tool for trimming, edging and shaving stubble. It does not give a close shave, and testers still had stubble after using it. Its blades cost nearly as much as the device and wear out in about 4 months.
Top complaints
- Not a close shave
Wirecutter's testers still had pronounced stubble after using it. CNN found it slightly less close than multi-blade razors and better for two- to three-day shaves. TechRadar says it doesn't deliver the closest shave, and Amazon's summary says owners disagree on closeness compared with manual razors.
- Blades are a running cost
TechRadar says replacement heads can cost nearly as much as the shaver. Philips says a blade lasts about four months on average, and TechRadar has seen reports of faster dulling. A Walmart 1-star reviewer says a blade wore out after one use.
Source: TechRadar, Walmart reviews (lowest rated) - Heads break; battery and charger gripes
Amazon's summary flags durability, with heads falling apart, and mixed battery feedback, including units that won't hold a charge. Walmart 1-star reviewers say it broke on the third use and one arrived without its proprietary charger. TechRadar notes there is no USB-C charging.
What owners love
- Extremely gentle
TechRadar found razor burn wasn't an issue and calls it a strong choice for very sensitive skin. Amazon owners say it is easy on the skin.
- Versatile and precise
CNN liked the small head that lets you see what you're shaving and found it great for clearing multi-week growth. Wirecutter's trimmer testers found it great for detail work on beards and mustaches.

What experts say
- Wirecutter (NYT): Not picked: great for fine-detail beard work, but the shave wasn't close enough, and testers still had pronounced stubble.
- CNN Underscored: Tested but not picked: one of the most enjoyable razors it used, but the narrow head and less-close shave suit two- to three-day shaves more than daily use.
- TechRadar: An affordable, gentle jack-of-all-trades that doesn't excel at any one thing; it has no USB-C charging, and replacement heads cost nearly as much as the shaver.
