Hi everyone! I work in personal-care product development, and I’m researching what people actually need from a compact electric body shaver—not just what looks good on a feature list.

By “mini,” I mean a small, handheld electric shaver or trimmer for body hair, rather than a beard-only or facial peach-fuzz tool.

If you’ve used one, think back to the last time:

• Where were you, and what were you trying to get done?
• What worked well, and what—if anything—was awkward or frustrating?
• Did you do anything extra to get the result you wanted?

If you could change ONE thing about that experience, what would it be?

If you tried a mini shaver and stopped using it, I’d love to hear why. And if you’ve never wanted one, what do you use instead that works better for you?

No need to answer everything—a specific story is plenty. The model you used and your country would help with context, if you’re comfortable sharing. Please only share body-area details you’re comfortable posting publicly.

Thanks! This is product research, and your feedback may inform future product design.

i bought an Estrid razor keeps causing ingrown hairs and not a clean shave. i’ve tried so many brands i’ve lost track. Any advice?

I bought a new safety razor and change the blade every shave. I've tried exfoliating at different times--first I tried alternating on the days I don't shave, then tried before and after shaving. Tried physical exfoliating in the shower and then chemical exfoliating with cerave rough and bump salicylic acid lotion after showering (on different days, not all at once). I make sure my legs are clean and rinsed with warm water before I start shaving, then use a moisturizing shaving cream. Use regular lotion on days I don't use the SA lotion. I still have to try glycolic acid or lactic acid but it's starting to get expensive.

Don't know if waxing will help because I got a bikini line wax 4 days ago and the area is still red and bumpy (worse than my legs in these pictures). Laser hair removal is wayyyyy out of budget. Im at a loss honestly.

So, I made a post before about razor burn and thank you for all the useful info it helped, but I was now wondering, how do yall get it so smooth, like I can’t for the life of me get it perfectly smooth, especially for the privates (I.e. dick and ass) I just can’t for the life of me get it smooth and like grr, also I can’t do professional waxing nor lazar hair removal for personal reasons.

Any advice is welcome :3

i already posted this to another subreddit and then this one got suggested and thought i would post here too

hey gang, im 18 and i think its finally time i nail down how tf to shave down there. i tried a regular razor, i tried one specially for that area. no matter how i do it its still bleedy and itchy and i get red bumps and its annoying. recently ive been seeing a TON of ads on insta for electric razors for there but they’re all by differently named brands that seem to use the same videos to advertise their similar products and they’re all coincidentally on sale. i just want to know if there is either 1: a better way to shave and be smooth with a razor or a special sort of razor OR 2: a similar product to those electric razors but it is ACTUALLY reliable and not some tiktok shop stuff. please help thank u😔

I have been using the Oui The People safety razor for years but this week it finally broke in half after I dropped it in the tub one last time 😭 I specifically loved that razor because not only did it give me the closest shave on my extremely sensitive skin, but also very easy to use for a safety razor. I feel like I didn't have to think too much about angles while shaving because of how they shaped the head of the razor. It's like the razor was doing all the work for me lol. The Henson AL13 looks very similar, but I'm kind of scared by what they mean by "an aggressive shave". Also looked at some of the Merkur razors but I can't figure out which type would work best for sensitive skin. Has anyone used the OTP razor and have recs for a good replacement?

Every time I shave the hairs are still extremely visible even though it’s smooth. I’ve tried hair removal cream once but again, same result. Is this caused by them all being ingrown? Or is it because the hair is so dark? It visibly seems like I can never get a perfect smooth shave.

Edit: I’m asking for advice for MYSELF because I prefer I clean shave on myself. I’m not doing this for no man or a man’s validation and I couldn’t care less what a man prefers on me.
