I am looking for a all in one groomer. I understand this is great for the back. My question really is. can you use this on your "boys" and your Pen..?

First off, I am female. I bought the mangroomer assuming it would make it easy to remove hair from back. However, handle is quite awkward and not flexible enough to use on your own, no matter what the reviews. I tried it once and never again. Big waste of money. Better to have your partner or friend shave back hair with a regular electric shaver. Handle way to big to make shaving "other" areas easy, and shave is not close enough for a smooth finish. The best thing I've found for that part of the body is a cream hair remover (it's what my husband uses). Safe (unless you have extremely sensitive skin), quick and easy, and removes hair completely for the smooth finish you want. Or if you are adventurous, you could use a razor made for the woman's bikini area, but be sure to prep area with shaving oil in lieu of shaving cream....it works better....no nicks or cuts.

I agree on the gentler solution. This is more for detail work in my opinion, gives a nice close shave. Not sure that it's a good choice for what you want to do.

I ended up sensing mine back as soon as it arrived. You can't use it on dark or tanned skin. Can't use it on light hair and you are supposed to shave the hair off first. No way was I shaving my face. Not quite sure who can use one of these.

Yes. There are smaller sized scissors designed for that, which is an additional cost (it is nearly the same as the full sized scissors!). I chose to make the investment in the smaller one as well, so my total out of pocket for everything was no more than what it cost for one trip to the groomers any ways.

Yes... the problem I have is the foil trimmer in the middle. If it hits long hair it will pull on it. The middle works good on stubble though. Might wanna check out the model of this trimmer and try the one with the pivoting head. I found the fixed angle of this trimmer annoying. Besides these two issues this trimmer is pretty good. Cuts body hair well and the battery's charge lasts for a long time.. u will get multiple uses out of it before charging. Best feature for me was that you can use it in the shower. With or without shaving cream....

Olivia, I am the creator of Scaredy Cut and I think it's wonderful for you and your dog that you have a successful relationship with your groomer. If you are getting the grooming your dog needs and wants to be happy and healthy with the groomer then you really don't need to add to that with SCAREDY CUT or any other tool. If you do need to do some maintenance at home you could use SCAREDY CUT to do single cuts only, which would not involve brushing through the hair.Sincerely,Matthew Michel(877) SCAREDYCUT

I read some on-line posts about this and I have been using a short stroke, since this head does not pivot, it helps keep the blade angle correct. I Use a good quality shave lotion instead of foam from a can, with lots of warm water, usually straight from the shower. I blead a little at first but once I got the hang of it my wife and I both love the closeness of the shave.

I would have to say first off I haven't had a chance to use it like that. It should work for small ones. the teeth are not overly large nor are they sharp enough to grab onto a large bur. It might help in getting the hairs straight to aid in getting the bur out plus you wont have to grab the bur as often. Perhaps not the best tool for what you want. Not knowing what you are using right now I would think something with straighter teeth would work a bit better.

With the attachements it works quite well. Three hair length choices. Direct application of the trimmer without attachments not recommended for a full beard trim or elsewhere, though good for sideburns trim and tight areas around the nose. I've been very pleased with mine. Especially like the fact it is quieter than most trimmers; there are losts of complaints about noise with this type of trimmer. See amazon reviews of line. Good luck, Paulo.

I'm sorry for not responding sooner, this attachment works as good as any trimmer you can purchase. Yes, you can use it for haircuts, but I wouldn't recommend using it as such. Unless, you have very short hair. It is designed mostly for touch-ups. Personally, I would invest in a nice set of clippers if you plan on cutting your own hair on a regular basis.

I would agree... I actually use it with both hands as I find it a better angle when shaving the other side of my face and it is JUST as fantastic in my left hand as it is my right... I'd highly recommend this razor. You will not regret purchasing it :)

I agree with Lulu this IS a very nice clipper. I'm also a professional groomer and use it everyday. Sounds like you may need some additional instruction. I also agree with Melissa in that you can check out youtube but also go to the Andis website to see what they have available. Wishing you best success.

I would have to say it would be the convenience of having just one main shaver unit. It works great. It also fits in the travel case with the main razor and head. You should look for a coupon. I found a $10 off coupon from Phillips Norelco and snapped one up. Glad I did.

I have used all models. This one is the least likely to nick or chaffe the skin due to the flexible head. If you pull the skin taut while shaving the private areas it's more likely to pull or nick the skin. Of course their is no perfect way, I've just learned from lots of nicking myself. Staying clean with a few nicks still beats the alternative.

Body/Beard absolutely - the foil shaver while advertised for the body is not top of the line. Personally I use either a 5 blade for that extra close shave.

i have a friend that says he uses it everywhere including personal areas, but i have found a way to minorly cut myself with it (this surprised him). if you are careful you can get the job done well enough.
