Default Babyliss iStubble

anyone use one?

I have had in growen hairs for years now, have tried most things poss, wet shave, elec shave, and all the other bits etc

now im thinking of something like the Babyliss iStubble or something like it, to leave some stubble to stop the close shaving and getting hair ingrowen

sooo are they any good?

I had one ages ago, they're OK but it'll still annoy your "sensitive skin" ... also if you're experiencing a lot of ingrowing hairs you may be shaving incorrectly?

Plan B

I have one also, think its the cheapest of the range(always cautious of beard trimmers, had so many **** ones before), but it's actually very good. Will upgrade to a better one soon!

I suffer from ingrown hairs on my neck as they grow sideways!
No matter how I shave they always ingrow. I've resulted to shave once every 4days! And then the stubble comes back so sharp it hurts the wife.. And her friend lol

I`m impressed with mine. Don`t like being clean shaven too often so mine gets regular use 10 / 10.

If your paying 42 sheets for a babylis, you may as well buy some professional Wahl clippers for roughly the same cost, great for heads and beards, not sure about the ball sack though, especially without the guard
