I've found this to be good for things like cutting my hair and general tidying up, where I think this fails to really achieve its potential is that when it comes intimate trimming or body hair the device is less convincing which is a shame so much so that I have booked a professional waxer to sort it out as I didn't feel this was good enough for the job. I guess the thing to remember with devices that aim to be a jack of all trades they generally end up being the master of none and this is true of this device.
