so, I know with a regular razor u don't want to shave ur upper lip cause it will grow back faster and courser, whats the deal with this product that makes it ok to use in areas like the lip and the eyebrows?

Hello Rylie ~ I have not noticed a faster or courser regrowth. It seems to be about the same. It really comes in handy for quick touch ups!

Yes; when used properly it's the closest you can get to using a razor. Without irritating your skin. In my opinion of course

I've had my Epilady for close to 30 years and it's the coil type. I've never tried the blade kind but I like the coil because it gets in there and plucks the hair right out. I'm going to assume that unless the hair is sticking straight up it will take longer with the blade type to get rid of the hair and then there's the stubble. If you can take the sting of the coil and it can hurt, then I'd use the coil. I love my Epilady coil, I use it on my upper lip, arm pits and of course legs. I have very little hair after all these years so I only use my Epilady every 2 or 3 months for maintenance.

It seems many like Shark, but at least for my DE razor they are my least favorite. Lord is a brand I like a lot better and it comes in half blades also. I normally shave with Feather, but my other favorites, not sure if they com in halves, are Gillette Goal. My point is just that if you haven't tried Lord, I think you should, then come tell me what you think. :) Maybe this is different for a single edge razor though.

Yes I do. I use it on my chin & sideburn area, it's great. Sometimes I on my lip hair but I recommend be extra cautious on the lip area. Waxing is best for the lip area.

That's what the shavers are for. You shave where you pluck. Now I have to say you will still have to pluck the hairs that grow long within the eyebrow itself. I don't know why the call them shapers. be careful when you shave though, go slow. You don't want to shave into the part you're keeping. You can shave in between your eyebrows too.

I only ever use this, i hate the stubble of shaving and over time the hairs get thinner and less. I am not sure how to help but I don't shave my legs at all now, ever just use an epilator. It has to be 90 degrees against the skin and go slow and multiple times...that's all i can advise. It will rip some of the hair, that's just the way it is it will never be perfect but for me it's so worth it because the hair come back thinner and less visible if you miss some. The issues with ingrowns is also there so a exfoliating scrub helps. I wax in the winter too and I will never go back to shaving. I hope it works out for you.

I have used it for ears nose arm. I have yet to use it for lip or eyebrow but yes you could just make sure the area is clean and be careful :)

I wouldn't recommend using this product for that. You should buy something that is made specifically to do what you need. But honestly, I can't remember the last time I saw a woman use an 'electric' shaver for her legs. In my experience, most just use a regular razor.

I have been using mine for a few months now and I think it would probably be too wide for use on the face. For example- it works well on the knees so I think it would probably work fine on the chin area, but I can't imagine it would work as well around the upper lip and/or eyebrow area.It's just too wide and you wouldn't want to be left without eyebrows :)

DEFINITELY NOT! Some like it, but I personally prefer shaving with a razor 'cause it leaves the area nice & smooth, as opposed to this shaver which still leaves short short hair. Visually I was like "wow this really works" but when I ran my hand through I could still feel it prickly.. it felt like I'd shaved about one or two days before I actually had. Honestly my boyfriend just liked the razor better -- I know not all guys have the same likes blah blah but that's just to give you a male point of view, I guess. And I mean let's not even talk about shaving down under lol it's just not a comfortable size to use in between the legs. My friend, the one that recommended me this shaver, was like "ohh just use the pop up trimmer!" It was all fun & dandy.. until it pulled on a hair. Honest to God: the startle made me do that little jump (very dangerous with something like that down there) and my eyes even watered. That is something I never EVER want to experience again. Just like you, bikini area was basically the major reason why I wanted this shaver. It was seriously the first thing I shaved when the shaver arrived; unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed /: For the rest, though, like arms & legs, ughh it is SUCH a life saver & WAYY more comfortable than the razor (with the occasional pull, of course). I've also never been cut with this shaver sooo yipee! That's a BIG plus for me. I mean I've even shaved in the car on my way to somewhere. It's super awesome on that note though. Soo.. what I do is just keep the razor in the shower, strictly for bikini use, but that's it. The rest I shave with this shaver (: Hope this helped!

Due to the large head size it is difficult to shave the upper lip and nose area. I use my old Norelco for that area still. Not happy with the LA63 in many instances. I have used it for a month now and my Norelco provides a smoother overall shave without the cuts and nicks the LA63 constantly ends up leaving.

John it works well for all skin types as you can adjust the gap of the blade. I normally shave with it set to a 4.5 gap , but when I go against the grain on the neck and upper lip I take it down to 2.5 for the neck and 1.5 for the lip. Remember blade does matter so find the blade that works best for your face and also remember this razor has a really good weight to it so dont apply any pressure let the weight do it for you. Also with any safety razor angle and no pressure are key. Proraso White Pre-Shave is something I would also recommend if you have sensitive skin.

Scarlett, I use it on these areas, but you really have to hold the skin taut. It can can really pull your skin, but you don't have to use it as often as a shaver. Good luck!

It might be unfair but there's a reason why they suggest that women don't use this. It will cause extra hair to grow, especially facial hair. That's what happened to me, but I don't care since I'm a guy. I actually like the fact that my beard, sideburns, and eyebrows are coming in thicker ever since I started using rogaine. In fact, my eyebrows were always very sparse, so I've purposefully used this product to help grow them in thicker and I've definitely achieved the results that I want. I have sexy looking eyebrows now, whereas before they were barely visible, which gave me a caveman look.

It is not a shaver. It eppilates the hair.. Or pulls it out by the roots. Would be better to wax. This thing caused me to have horrible ingrown hairs. I had to go on antibiotic to get them to clear up. I am an nurse and researched this. It pulls the hair above the skin and breaks it off. UNlike waxing that pulls it completely out. It is painful process, the end result is smooth but the ingrown hairs are awful. I would not recommend this product at all.
