In order to receive the hairline as short as possible, the blade needs to be loosened with a screwdriver and far to the front, because the non-movable part below the blade forward is getting thinner. It should be noted that the blade does not protrude to avoid a blood massacre. If one considers this aspect, the hair is much shorter than with conventional standard razors. The exact length I can not judge, but I can say that it will take up to 3 days with me 2 until the hair reach shortly, which I had with my old razor (low end Phillips). The deduction of points related to the handling of legal heavy equipment: the vibrations are pretty intense and the shaving head is by its mass more for the use by another person. When the hair, like me, cuts himself, it is a bit strange. All in all I am very satisfied!
