The Model ES412 Cleancut shaver has the distinction of being the first, and still best, personal / pubic shaver on the market. The ES412 has been made by the same manufacturer for many years (decades) and is still made in Japan, where quality and workmanship are considered high art. The business end of the ES412 consists of the slotted foil, the interior rotating blade assembly and the motor that turns the blade assembly. In order to produce a superior shave these components need to obtain a delicate working balance. First the motor must have enough torque that it can cut hairs easily, yet run at a slow enough speed that it doesn�t grab the hair and rip it rather than cut it. Second, the blade assembly must be designed to easily glide under the foil�glide but not grind. Superior design and the ability to achieve exacting manufacturing tolerances ensure this is accomplished. Last, the piece that brings it all together, the foil. To make this extraordinary foil requires superior metallurgy, innovative manufacturing techniques and human based engineering to achieve a slot pattern that effectively captures and cuts hairs WHILE not cutting the tender skin of the pubic region. But that�s what the ES412 Cleancut is; a well engineered and balanced shaving experience with the advantage of incremental improvements over time. And clad in it�s turned �stainless steel� case it also has classic �retro� style good looks. NOTE: NO TRIMMER IS INCLUDED. No electric shaver (face shaver or personal shaver) will cut hair longer than stubble. Either blade shave first or purchase a Model PS335 Cleancut �No Nick� Trimmer (available separately.) It is recommended that baby / talcum powder (purchased separately) be applied to the area to be shaved as a dry lubricant (prevents the foil from sticking to the skin.)The ES412 includes a cleaning brush and instruction manual. C-cell battery (1) required (not included.)

Works great if you use a TWO STEP PROCESS (on face too - thought 4 star for that as a bit more challenging). I bought mine about five years ago from an online vendor that sold products exclusively for personal area shaving. Since this area was their specialty, they provided more info and a small canister of Fordustin (now Sween) Body Powder - it's CORNSTARCH NON-CAKING powder (only 5 ingredients including silica which makes shaving painless and results in a smooth (as a baby's B) feel IF you use this shaver as the second product. I have only found Fordustin online - prices vary widely so do research. One 8 oz canister lasts years; smaller good for travel.
I have found that the hair has to be very short (1/16" or less) for this shaver to work effectively. So the first step is to TRIM longer hair. I use the Seiko-S-Yard-PS334-Femini-Personal shaver (not the T shape). It works on longer hair - up to a point (1/8" is best - if you go longer that's where you get pulling). Also, to keep the blade in optimal condition, occasional oil lubrication is recommended (mine came with it but not sure included anymore). So for those of you who have wrote this product off, take 5 minutes and do a little Google research on more specialized sites for tips. Also keep in mind that skin texture varies "down there" :) Closer "in" you go, the more delicate...there is no product thats going to give 100% satisfaction without an occasional pull (I'll take this over waxing any time).

I was sick of paying for bikini waxes, so I thought I'd try this out. I was disappointed. I followed the directions to the T and it didn't give me the smoothness I was looking for. I still had stubble. So, I would pass on this product. Wish I could get my money back. : ( Wanted to pass along this information to you in order to save ya'll money b/c I wish I would have read a review like this when I was contemplating this purchase.

I'm modifying my review.
I've used it about 10 times now, and this item is even worse than I thought. I know I'm doing it exactly right, but leaves a very noticeable stubble.
Perhaps it's a quality control problem, with some getting a better unit. Or maybe the people who like it are happy with something other than a smooth shave.
This item is basically unreturnable, by the time you pay shipping and the sanitary disposal fee.
I basically gave this company a gift of my money.
COMPLETELY USELESS.

I researched personal shavers and read up on anything that seemed relevant. It seemed like this was the model to own. The common theme was that it worked excellent as long as you started with some stubble and used lots of babypowder/talc during the process. I should state that I am not a particularly hairy person so it's not as if I needed anything with "turbo shaving" abilities. That being said, it works "ok". Not nearly as well as I hoped but not as bad as I feared either. On the stubble that is readily accessed, no curves, no angles, it works pretty well assuming there is talc and that I go in a few directions - circles, with the grain, against the grain. For reasons I can't figure out, there is some stubble that I just can't get no matter what technique! The areas it does trim, it does an excellent job - very smooth and pain free and my skin hasn't been irritated afterwards. It's just those more awkward curves that it really can't seem to get to. I've only had it a couple of weeks so I'm still learning what works. I think I'll have to give up my quest for a completely naked nether region but I may be happy to opt for a nicely coiffed region.

Razor isn't as good as expected. Definately no comparison to waxing. Definately leaves stubble and undesired hairs. It is a good size and good for I guess in between maintanance. Not worth the price.
