This product may work well if all your hair grows either toward the front or back. If your hair grows sideways much, it's difficult to use. It's all about the way you have to hold your hand. Also, if you don't press down firmly enough, and your hair is "Thick", it won't shave close, but pressing firmly can also cause it to start shaving the top layer of your skin. I find it more difficult to use than a normal blade, but I do recommend trying it. I imagine that there are many for whom it may save time.
