once your skin adjusts, you can still get shaver burn if you press too hard, especially on the neck, so resist any urge to grind the shaver into your beard.

when i decided to get my husband an electric razor for trimming his beard, mustache and nose hairs, i decided to quiz my son-in-law about an electric head shaver.
after three weeks of getting my beard accustomed to the shaver i can say it seems to shave reasonably close and gets all the hairs - something my braun had a problem with.
it takes some extra attention to the jaw line, which is always a challenge with my beard, and to the throat, which isn't completely perfect, but at least in my own experience i would never complain
bought this electric shaving system for my husband who has a beard.
the heads barely turn...and i can feel them 'cut' my beard one by one almost.
i don't know whether they shave as well as other electric razors, but i can use it in the shower, and that takes a lot of the hassle out of beard prep and cleaning the razor.

braun says that if a person has been using a rotary shaver (which is the case with me) then it could take upto 3 weeks for the beard to get used to this new shaver.
