I'd like to chime in on the adjustable setting aspect. I've found that starting with a lower setting and gradually increasing it has helped me achieve a comfortable shave with the Pearl Shaving Flexi. It's all about finding that sweet spot that works for your skin type and technique.

Given its quality and performance, I'd say it's a fair value for the price, but don't expect it to be a game-changer for ev...
