4.0 out of 5 stars
This shaver is so good, I can use it blindfolded!, April 14, 2007
I was hesitant about buying a personal razor because I had heard the horror stories about shavers of the past (can anyone say Epilady?) but I was tired of regular razors so was really ready to give this new style a try. (Regular razors either couldn't get close enough due to a safety blade, or they nicked me even when I was being careful.) Of course, it was a little hard to fork over the money for this, as to me, it was just another shaver.
I could not have been more wrong.
This shaver set is awesome. The Cleancut shaver works wonderfully, gives a great (smooth) result, and there is NO chance of getting cut or nicked. The *only* reason I give it four stars (I really would like to give it 4.5) is because:
A) While the Cleancut T-Handle Trimmer works okay for what it's for (to trim the hair short enough for the shaver), it doesn't work great--in the more private areas, I was concerned I might get nicked (although, to be honest, I didn't).
B) I would like just a bit larger shaving area on the Cleancut shaver. At just a hair over an inch wide (maybe 1-1/8") it took quite a bit of time to cover all the necessary areas. While the size is surely designed for nooks and crannies, I still think a little larger surface area would have worked just as well and also cut down on the shaving time.
That said, this product is well worth the money, and I highly recommend it to anyone. It's great being able to get such a close shave without messy shave creams, gels, or lotions...or painful waxing.

A pretty good pair!, November 8, 2006
Hahaha, sorry for the length of my very first Amazon review. I'm sure I'll become faster and more efficient as I go.
I've had the Cleancut/Femini combo for a couple months now except I have the Shavey Femini trimmer that isn't the t-bar. I find it great for managing angles, shapes, and tight spaces (I've heard the t-bar's motor is a little stronger if you prefer that). When I got it, I applied some baby powder and in several minutes, the trimmer got the hair down to a good stubble, then shaped things a nice and neatly. Coarse hair wasn't a problem for the little teeth and I didn't get nicked, even while getting the pesky hair on the..um... "inner areas". I'd still say be careful around those parts though.
The Cleancut fit along my curves nicely thanks to its smaller size and finishing the job was easy. To cut closer, you should run opposite the directional growth and pull the skin taught as you go. It isn't as close as a razor but I don't get any itchiness or rashes and FAR less ingrowns which are usually a big problem for me otherwise. I consider that a more than fair trade-off. Just make sure you're clean, dry, and powdered for the best results and substantially lessened chance of a possible bite or irritation...which you should probably do with most dry shavers anyway. I've tested it on a small area without dry lubricant and it CAN cause irritation so be sure to always use something. Baby powder is cheap and there are different kinds from talc to cornstarch based; regular, to scented, to medicated...and did I mention it's cheap?! Can't go wrong at a couple bucks for a big bottle of it. :P
On another note, it's true the battery makes up for most of the unit's weight. But that doesn't change the fact that it cuts through my coarse stubble with no problem or lag in spinning. It isn't loud but it does make an audible high humming noise. The noise wasn't enough to bother me and I consider myself pretty uptight about those things. You can use them on your facial hair too if wet shaving gives you ingrowns and you hate waxing...just uh, wash or wipe off the foil if you use it on your privates first, lol. Sometimes I even use it under my arms.
Like most advertised things, it's not as miraculous and amazing as ads claim but you should already know not to ride entirely on them. That being said, I was not disappointed with it and I hope someday they make a wet/dry version so I don't have to worry about getting it wet. I've used it regularly since I got it and there are NO razors down there anymore!

Excellent, February 10, 2006
Seiko is a big name in Japan, a manufacturer of fine microelectronics. Among the many products they offer are the the Femini Timmer and Cleancut Shaver. The Femini is battery operated, and is designed to fit comfortably in the hand. The shaving head itself is well designed, and has never given me even the smallest of cuts. The small size of the head makes it ideal for trimming eyebrows and the bikini area, and even allows for detailed trimming, for when you want to get creative in your trimming.
The Cleancut Shaver is the Lexus of shavers. When you first pick up the Cleancut, you know this is a serious shaver. It is heavy compared to low-cost shavers, and that is because it has a quality motor. The shaver fits nicely in your hand, and when you turn it on it has a nice hum, without the buzzing rattle that you get from cheap shavers. It gives a nice smooth shave, and does not bite or pinch even the softest of skin. It is powered by a C battery, which is easy to replace.
Use the Femini and Cleancut for removal of unwanted hair, whether in the underarm or along the bikini line, or for more creative trimming. These are high-quality products that you will love and will give you excellent service.
