I have used this razor for a month now, and finally went back to a rotary razor to get a good shave. I followed the directions on how to use the new razor, and all I got out of it was a nice facial massage. The razor seemed like it did not have any cutting blades in it. I pulled my skin tight and the razor just rode over facial hair like it was not there. To put it simply, the razor does not cut my beard. The razor is a sad disappointment. It looks good, fits my hand well, it just wont cut my beard.
