It's a rotary shaver, and it does lift the hair slightly before cutting. That's what gives you a close, smooth finish.
If you're prone to ingrown hairs, which can be more common with Afro or curly hair, that lift can affect some people more than others, so we'd rather be upfront about it. A few things help a lot:
- Shave wet with a gel or foam rather than dry.
- Light pressure: let the shaver do the work, using small circles without pressing into the skin.
- Don't overdo it: avoid going over the same spot again and again.
- Fresh blades: swap them every 6 months. Blunt blades tug more.
You're covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it properly. If it doesn't suit your skin, you can send it back for a refund.
