My first time using it on my top lip and sideburns, it didn't feel smooth, like there is still hair/stubble there. I went and took the head off so I could clean it properly, And when I took the head off, everything just fell apart. I tried to put it back together, but it wouldn't work.
This product is good for it being discrete and for travel/on the go. That's if it doesn't break on you trying to clean it for sanitary reasons. So, in that case, don't take the head off to clean. I bought mine at Bed Bath & Beyond, and I will be returning it tomorrow! So disappointed!
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
