My first impressions were positive: the head shaver fits comfortably in the hand, is easy to use on my head, and was ready to use right out of the box. The device shaves smoothly over the contours of my head, collects cut hair excellently, and is incredibly easy to clean. I charged it once upon receipt and have been using it every other day for three weeks now without needing to charge it again. Don't expect a shave as close as with a razor, but for everyday use, it's more than good enough.
I also use it on my face. It does a reasonable job there, but it doesn't shave as well over the facial contours as it does over my head. One drawback, in my opinion, is the price of replacement blades: around €35 (as of January 2026), almost half the price of the shaver itself.
For daily head shaving, this is highly recommended.

Pleasantly surprised by the shaver. I've always shaved my head in the shower with a razor, but lately I've had a lot of nicks and cuts. When I had the opportunity to test it for the review club, I jumped at the chance. First impressions are very positive. It shaves much smoother than I expected. And shaving was also very easy. I expected to have to shave with a razor afterward, but that's not necessary. The only downside so far is removing the shaving heads to shave. It's tricky. I'm afraid I'll break something. I've only been using it for a short time, but I'm curious how long the blades stay sharp.

This shaver allows you to easily shave your head without assistance. Shaving is quick and easy thanks to the large shaving surface. This allows you to feel which part of your head you haven't shaved yet. It gives me the confidence to shave myself, unlike in the past when I asked my girlfriend to do it. The shaver's grip is very comfortable and feels like shaving a beard. I've tried the latter, but a beard shaver is a better product. I noticed that it causes irritation. The battery lasts for several shaves. Another great thing is that the shaver catches a lot of hair and is easy to clean up afterward. In short, I expected it to help me, but I didn't expect it to be this effective. I definitely recommend this product.
