A:Answer You hold it like a traditional razor, difference being you can shave in both an up and down motion. But the “razor” head is like an electric razor, blades move left to right very quickly, but the smoothness is that of a traditional razor blade. I shaved my legs 3 days ago, and they are still smooth. Whereas if I had used an electric razor, I would’ve had stumble by the next morning, or later that day.
