I've tried different variations of these and even the more expensive sonic one. I like this one a lot but I would say use it once and toss it. then you shouldn't have any issues.
Got these to try my hand at dermaplaning. Easy to use and def sharp. I even accidentally shaved a part of my eye brow off. Will go slower next time?
I am updating the below review. After encouragement from a friend, I decided to keep working at using these dermaplaners. They work better than I thought, and as long as I don't go too hard at the scraping, they don't irritate my skin. You have to practice to find the right angle at which to hold the tool against your skin, but it does help to remove hair and to exfoliate dead skin away. I apologize to the Kitsch people, because it appears my problem was user error more than a product issue.I am a "woman of a certain age," and I have an issue (girls, please tell me I'm not the only one) with "billy goat" hairs on my chin, cheeks, and neck. The hairs are coarse and grow quickly, but they are blonde, so I can't do anything other than shave or pluck them. I hate waiting for the hairs to be long enough to pluck, and I also hate that they grow so quickly! Doing some research online, I learned of dermaplaning. Women out there are raving about how awesome these little face scrapers are. I have enjoyed other Kitsch products, so I was excited, especially after reading reviews, to try these particular face scrapers.THEY DO NOT WORK.I scraped the crap out of my cheeks and chin, in hopes of removing the billy goat hairs and peach fuzz, but the billy goat hairs went completely untouched, and I can still see peach fuzz on my cheeks. I didn't experience the irritation described by other reviewers, but I believe if I'd scraped much more, I most certainly would have.One reviewer commented that it's odd the blades are serrated. I don't have experience with other varieties of dermaplaners, so maybe this is the norm, but... it makes sense to me that they should be a flat blade in order to do the desired job.Not in a hurry to try this again, and I am disappointed overall.
