I bought the xiaomi thin shaver. Let me start by saying that the design looks sleek and nice…. except that it gave me the absolute worst shave of my life. I’m now stuck with red blisters and razor burns all over my face, chin and neck. And the worst part was that the hairs I was trying to shave off are still there. I now have smooth patches of skin where I can’t even see the stubble, surrounded by individual hairs, even after going over it for a minute.
This is the worst shaver I have ever used. Any cheapo $10 shaver would do a better job.
Aesthetics: 5 stars
Effectiveness: 1 star
I absolutely regret buying this product. I can’t believe it won some design award (maybe for it’s design on paper….) Please don’t buy this.
Philips one blade changed my life.
r/wicked_edge
me too, not worth it at all
yea it’s not like they make everything from electric scooters, to TVs, to vacuum cleaners, to drones….
saw review of it, I thought it perform similar to cheapo thin card size shaver.
Yeah i’m with you. Can confirm that it sucks for the patchy beard white guy too.
I found the big one to be pretty disappointing too
I don’t have any experience with the nose hair trimmer. You should try it out if you really want to.
Go for a Philips body groomer, preferably from a local store so you can claim warranty. Pricier but lasts years if taken care of properly.
Same here… It was and still is a PITA
Yes. I find light is strong and it’s enough to charge my mi 9se. It’s only as emergency light bank in my car when I working on customer car so I’m happy with it.
Electric shavers are largely bs
Aaaaaand here I’m planning on buying the one for the nose hair trimmer. (That looks very cool and minimalistic)
I’ll guess I’ma skip it before the blood bath to come.
Thanks mate.
That’s xiaomi, some of their products are great( powerbank), but some are shit( flashlight)
No, it’s okay, no offense taken my dude. You too!
I like the Xiaomi 3 head one with usb-c.. works better than my phillips 3 head one that cost $150 when I bought it. However, I don’t know long the heads will last but they are cheap unlike the phillips $50… I mean this xiaomi can even remove 1.5 weeks of growth.. on the phillips I needed to use the trimmer first for that… of course it is a bit uncomfortable when doing that but still it is great to not need the trimmer. Or dock because with usb-c you don’t need to bring any dock or extra power brick with you. I use shavers in the shower though, I find they work better wet
Oh sorry didn’t know English was your first language. I’m from Bulgaria btw.
I didn’t know they even made a shaver but it looks like crap lol. I’m Portuguese and Italian so fairly hairy and my beard grows thick. That thing wouldn’t have a chance
I bought a Braun series 9, to replace my Panasonic Arc4. Both are top notch.
Lol. I’m Chinese dude. Even my mush+whiskers weren’t shaved properly with this product.
Is this the black one approx. the size of the credit card? I’ve been thinking about getting this for myself for Christmas but just stumbled upon this review. If that’s the one then I may need to reconsider. Yikes
thanks man, I was looking to buy that thing but now I can avoid that
Hong Kong. Also, Chinese doesn’t have to mean living in China.
Well, if you want to get better bang for buck flashlight, people in r/flashlight might help you.
Disagree bro, I’ve seen/used a few that did the job alright.
I thought reddit is blocked in china.
As the owner of a bushy ginger beard the xiaomi razor was useless. Even just trying stubble it did nothing.
I must ask though, if it was so bad, why did you keep shaving ? Lol “this sucks, maybe another part of my face will do better, owww”
It won a design award, not a shaving award. Also 1star.
Your English is truly amazing mate, I haven’t seen a Chinese guy speak English so well like you.
What about the Fleshlight?
Wait what.
That may be the one I got. It didn’t work for me at all, but I got a refund for it without even having to send it back, so that’s good.
They’re ok for a quickie.
Tks will have a look there.
Mine is working great
Recently I got power bank with flashlight and is outstanding. So maybe we should opinion on more than one unit? Before we judge.
Thanks bro, English is my first language, however I do wish I was better at Chinese as well.
> I’m Chinese dude
Not anymore! haha
Doesn’t surprise me. The Chinese don’t excel particularly in beards.
Let’s hope you can get a refund.
I bought the big one in China when it was on sale for $15 one day. Didn’t find it any different from a normal electric, which is always a bit disappointing.
Yes, that’s the one. If you still want xiaomi, maybe try the big one, but this one I really wouldn’t recommend.
Glad to know at least one of them is working
Can you name a few?
You mean the cheap one with plastic case that costs nearly $20?
For $20 i can get better combo
