This item was a gift. The idea/concept is great, especially for those guys who don't have someone in their life willing and able to trim their neck two or three times between haircuts. However, it's not quite as easy as it looks. After two full uses and multiple different angles and attempts, I have still not found a way to shave a consistent straight line, so I have to go back over it for touch up work, which kind of defeats the purpose of this product in a way. It's still quicker than shaving your neck with a regular razor, and safer than using an electric trimmer back there. The four star rating is because it's a great idea, comes with several replacement razors, and does do a good job shaving smooth. The two biggest drawbacks that I haven't figured out how to overcome are that since there are three different razors being used at once, there are gaps between them. It's impossible to shave it all in one swipe. You have to shave, then readjust to the right and to the left. Accurately placing the razors on the exact same line three times is very difficult when you can't see what you're doing back there and only going by feel. The other issue is that the razors have the skin guard or lubricating strip or something at the top, creating a space from the top razor blade to the top of the actual cartridge. That makes it tough to tell exactly where the razor will "set the line" of shaving when what you're touching/feeling is the top of the cartridge, not the blade itself. Honestly, not quite sure what can be done to fix these in the production process, but I'm hoping the company can figure something out and takes this review as constructive criticism to help them improve a great idea! I would still recommend the product, especially to someone willing to be patient and take the time to use it properly. Give it a shot and see if you can make it work for you!
