TrueSmooth Battery Operated Lady Shaver

Product Information

Wahl have been making gents’ clippers for over a century, but they also produce personal care items for women – and their 3-in-1 Face and Body Hair Trimmer comes highly recommended on the Mumsnet forums. As your hair moves through its different growth phases – anagen/active, catan/transitional and telogen/resting phase – your hair’s roots connect to their follicles, pull away from the root before falling out. And although you will need to double check the product specifications before use, this model also has one other benefit – it also works on darker skin.

Equipped with self-sharpening stainless steel blades and a powerful motor, it ensures fast, safe and painless hair trimming. However, this pack contains only one razor head, so you’ll have to purchase replacements when you need them.It comes with two combs but for the smoothest shave it’s best used without the attachments, especially if you’re trying to combat shaving bumps and ingrown hairs. The reason it costs so much more than others in this list is because it uses what’s referred to by its makers as Thermicon technology.

Unlike other IPL systems, the Lumea comes with numerous curved attachments, making it far easy to get to those hard to reach areas.

You’ll get up to 92% hair reduction after three uses (though obviously this will differ from person to person) and can use either corded or uncorded. The mini shaving head is pretty powerful, but, while the included attachments are easy to swap in and out, they’re not hugely effective.
