Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Microforce By Shavepro Cordless and Rechargeable Shaver
Customer Review: Close as a Razor Blade without the cuts, Shaves Wonderfully!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this Microforce shaver from our local Kaneohe Walgreens store in Hawaii. I also own a Braun 360 shaver series 5 and let me tell you for my entire face this shaver shaves it faster and closer than my Braun, I come out with an extremely smooth shave just like a baby's bottom. Best I have used yet for how close it really shaves. But my neck gets pretty irritated with this shaver I am guessing because the foil is very thin, I love the close shave on my entire face and mustache area, so for my neck I use my Braun 360 and even though it does not shave as close as the Microforce I get less irratation on my very sensitive neck and also the Braun has a 3rd trimmer in middle of foil to get those stubborn longer hairs that are too long for the Microforce. I have been using the Microforce shaver for about 2 months now and I am so happy that I would not hesitate to purchase another if something ever happens to this one. It runs with Ni-MH batteries so my recommendation is when you hear it getting weak, run it down with foil off (i do this on my rug so it doesn't vibrate all over the place) and when it shuts off with no more power then give it a full 7 hour charge, this is best method for Ni-MH batteries, I verified the battery type with the customer service dept for this shaver and they got back to me in 1 day and suggested to run it down for best battery life and performance. I must say also that I use either a shaving lotion (lightly applied) and also right now I am just using California North Shave Oil and use with some water to keep it slick and ohhh I get such a confortable shave with the Microforce, I have never tried it dry shave, I always use something to keep it slick.
Well this should conclude my likeness of this shaver, If you want a very very baby soft shave, with it extremely close I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this shaver but I do recommend some sort of shave foam, lotion, oil to be used with any electric as it makes for a no irritation shave. Always remember that with this shaver you don't need much pressure on face, just go lightly and slowly against the grain, no need to rush and you will get a perfectly close, smooth shave with this shaver.

Customer Review: Finally! An 'As Seen On TV' product that is not a BS pile of junk
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me first say that I do not own the rechargable model shown here. I own the model that runs on 2 AAA batteries sold in retail stores. I saw this product advertised in a local drug store flyer for 9.99, so I thought I'd give it a try by stopping by at the nearest store and picking it up. I must have been more desparate than I realized because I ended up driving to two stores after the first was sold out of it, and I only found it at the second store after ten minutes of searching and eyeing the last product on a shelf hidden behind other merchandise. I was disappointed when I realized this model had no charger, but I already had a package of rechargable NiMH batteries at home, and at 9.99 I figured couldn't do that bad. For the previous 5 months I had been shaving my upper lip, lower lip, and chin with a razor and a Braun electric shaver for the rest of my face. I have no beard. I also carry and extra razor in my car for backup in case I noticed I missed a spot while driving to work. The Microforce Razor was meant to replace that backup razor. It annoys me that whether I shave with a razor or electric shaver, by the end of the day, I have thick whiskers growing in patches all over my face. After a long night out, when I look in the mirror I am sometimes embarrassed to realize I have been walking around in public with a wolfman complexion. Well, on the first night I used Microforce, I couldn't believe how close of a shave it gave me. I depend on the back of my hand more than on my reflection to determine how close of a shave I gave myself. I ran the back of my fingers over my cheeks and was amazed at how smooth my face felt. Not only that, but an entire 24-hours later, it still felt smooth! This little guy worked so good that it completely replaced the Braun I was using. I've been using it for just under 2 weeks, so, like others have posted, I am not sure if it will give me a decent lifecycle. But as far as working out of the box, I can tell you that it does an excellent job.Customer Review: Freakin AMAZING!!!

This Micro Force shaver, I will now give you the pros and the cons. And I will tell you overall.
First of all, it is incredible!!! It not only shaves, but it is a really close shave, I mean really close, in the shower, under water.
Ok, Pros: This is better than one of those even 200 dollar shavers. Here's why, first of all it shaves extremely incredibly astonishingly close!!! What a close shave, I mean, my shave was just close!!! Better than my Braun 360. And you can shave in the shower, where it is wet so that you can get an even closer shave. Just amazing...!!!
Cons: Why does this product cost 20 dollars? So cheap, should I buy it? First of all, it doesn't shave long hairs, even fine line hairs. In fact, if you don't shave everyday, this thing doesn't even attempt to cut hair longer than a days worth of beard growing. It won't even cut my eyebrows cause they are too long, uhh, it won't cut finger hair, too long. So, this will cut short, coarse, stubby hairs in a snap, works good. So, if you're going to use this don't let your hairs grow too long. Third of all, its almost like a razor, because it irritates your skin slightly like a razor. But it is just as close. It leaves smooth skin, but razor irritations. cuts skin very often.
So, it's worth the money. Just realize the cons.
Customer Review: Works like a charm if you're an everyday shaver!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had shaved in the morning and purchased this razor in the evening. I had a light shadow of stubble and decided to give the Microforce shaver a try straight out of the box. I was surprised to find out that this tiny shaver gave me a closer shave than the razor I used to shave with that very morning. If you shave everyday or every other day, this should work perfectly.
This little bugger will do exactly as the packagage describes. It will give you a "close clean shave in half of the time" and you can "shave anywhere-anytime-even in the shower." It's way more powerful than I expected and I like that it's lightweight and easy to clean. And I love the inexpensive price.
A couple of tips:
Don't use a lot of pressure by pressing the razor down on your face. Just let it glide lightly against your skin and it will work much better. Also, if you're not used to using an electric razor your face may feel irritated the first few days you use it but after your skin gets used to it, it will give you a super close shave and your face won't feel irritated.
Customer Review: Great as a STUBBLE REMOVER
Summary: 5 Stars
First off, Let me start by saying that you shouldn't buy this expecting it to mow down thick straw-mat beards into a baby-smooth face. This will NOT do that.
Also, this is NOT a trimmer, nor is it a body groomer, nor is it an eyebrow detailer.
This is a STUBBLE REMOVER, and it works GREAT!! I bought this a few weeks ago, and tried using it to remove a 3 day old beard. I had the same problems a lot of you had: Irritation, and little to no beard trimming. After about a week of trying, I tried something else: I shaved my face with a razor, then used the Microforce the next day to remove the stubble, and it worked great, but if I dabbed on a little Lectric Shave right before, it worked PERFECTLY!
The design of the cutting head is relatively ingenius, and it's so cheap, I got a few as father's day gifts!
This product is NOT for people who can grow a half inch beard in one day, nor is it for anyone wishing to use it to groom a beard, or shave their head or back. If you want a quick and easy day-to-day stubble remover, THIS IS THE PRODUCT!!!
