" ... I was worried when I bought this ARC5 that the 5 blades might make it hard to shave in places like under my bottom lip (without shaving my goatee/chin beard) and, unfortunately, that turned out to be the case. ... "
" ... When I used this last time it took 6min 38 seconds until I decided to stop because it kept missing hairs. ... "
" ... I spent twice as long shaving and it would leave patches of hair that it would not cut. ... Maybe there is a good electric razor out there for people with thick beards, but this is not it. ... "
" ... Hardly touched my beard. ... "
" ... The sideburn trimmer sucks. ... "
" ... My "cheap" 3 headed razors work far better. ... It is gentle on the skin, but it cuts uneven, and misses so many hairs. ... Maybe I got a bad one or maybe just have the wrong skin type and hair type for this razor. ... "
" ... Don't expect it to remove any hair though. ... "
" ... I could shave all day with it and it would still leave unshaven beard. ... Even the trimmer doesn't work very good. ... "
