Can the Freebird FlexSeries shaver be used on your body, not just your head?

Short answer
Yes. Freebird says the FlexSeries is designed primarily with the head and scalp in mind, but that it also gives a fast, easy and comfortable shave on the face, chest, back, arms and legs. The kit adds clipper and trimmer attachments, so it can trim as well as shave close. These are Freebird's own descriptions of the FlexSeries Shaving Kit.

Why the FlexSeries works beyond the scalp
Attachments for different jobs
Besides the ScalpSafe Rotary Blade, the kit includes a Precision Clipper with 3mm, 5mm and 7mm guards and a Nose & Ear Trimmer attachment that Freebird says removes unwanted hair in sensitive areas.
Blades that follow curves
Freebird says its concave, flexible blades are shaped to wrap around the contours of your face or scalp, and that each ScalpSafe blade moves on its own to stay in contact with the skin.
Wet, dry or in the shower
Freebird describes the FlexSeries as designed for both wet and dry use: you can shave in the shower, with or without shaving gel, and clean it under running water.
Made for thick hair too
Freebird says the shaver is designed to work effectively on all hair types, including coarse or curly hair, using multiple rotary blades that work together.
How to use it
- Start with a fully charged shaver.
- Wash your face and scalp with warm water to soften the hair.
- Choose the ScalpSafe Rotary Blade for a close shave, or the Precision Clipper for trimming; for longer hair, trim first with the clipper.
- Shave in small, circular motions.
- After shaving, rinse your skin with cold water and pat dry.
- Rinse the attachments under water to remove hair and debris.

Questions buyers ask
Can I use it below the waist?
Freebird says you can also use the FlexSeries to trim or shave below the waist.
Can I leave stubble instead of shaving smooth?
Yes. Freebird says the Precision Clipper lets you trim down to stubble, and the 3mm, 5mm and 7mm guards can be used for fading, trimming and shaping a beard.
Do I need shaving cream?
No. Freebird says the shaver can be used with or without shaving cream or gel, wet or dry.
How do I clean it?
Freebird says to clean the blades after each use: turn the shaver off, detach the head, rinse it under running water, then use a small brush to remove any remaining buildup.
How often do the blades need replacing?
Freebird's general rule is to replace the blades every fifty shaves, and sooner if the shaver is not cutting hair as well as it used to.
What warranty does it have?
Freebird's FAQ lists a standard 3-year manufacturer's warranty.
The bottom line
If you shave your head and want the same tool for face and body hair, the FlexSeries Shaving Kit fits that job by Freebird's own account, with attachments for trimming as well as shaving close.
