But seriously, guys, what up? There are certain parts of the body around which one should never, ever use sharp cutting instruments. If you nick yourself shaving your face, you go 'darn' and put a bit of Kleenex on it. If you slip whilst shaving your privy parts, what do you say? 'Call 911' I guess. Danger, danger Will Robinson.

I was pretty sure that this thing wasn't designed to take care of that, but I figured I'd get it anyway, as there were other areas that needed a trim as well. <br /> <br />First, as most reviews have said, this thing is worthless when wet. It's not like it just doesn't cut close...it doesn't cut *at all.* <br /> <br />Unfortunately, what most reviews don't tell you is that it's almost as worthless when dry. <br /> <br />I tried in on the back of my neck/shoulders, and it failed miserably. Even with the guards off, where it's supposed to "completely" remove the hair, it barely made a dent. Ok...maybe that hair is too thin/wispy...so I tried something a bit thicker, and went for my beard. <br /> <br />It shaved close there, but was very patchy. Fine, so maybe it works better on thicker, coarse hair. On to the armpits. Yeah, useless there as well. I pulled the skin there as tight as I could, stuck my arm in weird positions, did everything I could to make it easy to shave in that area. Nothing. Completely failed. <br /> <br />Ok, fine. There's one other area that this thing may be able to redeem itself in. I mean, a standard straight-blade razor can take care of the rest, but unless I want to change my religion, a straight-blade isn't going anywhere south of the belt line. <br /> <br />I will say this...on the groin, this thing works pretty well. Cleans things up nicely using the biggest guard. On the "boys," however, it's a no-go. Just doesn't work for a damn. When/where it *does* work, it's totally painless, so no problems there. But for $40, this thing needs to work in more than just one area. Rating: 2 / 5 Originally, I was looking for a trimmer to keep my beard to managable lengths.

I guess once you've used Braun, nothing else will suffice. Proven once again, you get what you pay for. Rating: 1 / 5 I used it twice and threw it away.
