Default Finishing Touch trimmer..anyone use it?

I have seen this product being advertised a lot lately and was wondering if anyone has tried it? It looks like it would work well but I'm a little leary of "As seen on TV" products. Any reviews-good or bad-are appreciated!

Thanks!

I bought it and it works pretty well but it is irritatingly slow to use over large areas. My sister bought it and she loves it - she uses it mainly on her chin though. I use it on my underarms, legs and belly. I don't do it on my chin - I tweeze and then use polysporin (same as neosporin) on the area to prevent breakouts.

    I also bought one thinking it would be easier on my sensitive skin than a regular razor. Basically, It doesn't get close enough for me to bother using it on my course chin hair. I use it on my cheeks and sideburns before my laser treatments. For me, thats about all it's good for!:o

    Yes, I bought mine from Walgreen's and it's pretty good for thin hair. I am naturally hairy and the PCOS makes it even worse. If you use anything like a razor or Finishing Touch, make sure you use a mild astringent to close your pores and keep it from getting irritated. Also, I didn't pay much for it... I think it was $10.00. It's small enough to fit in your cosmetic bag or in your purse for quick touch ups!

    i bought one also and find it works better with not real coarse hair. i have a lot of coarse hair growth on my chin, neck and cheeks. i use mine to get most of it, but then i still end up tweezing the coarse hair that it doesn't get fully. it's not a bad investment because it's only about $10.
