Finishing Touch Flawless Legs

To preface this review, you should know that I generally laugh at "As Seen on TV" products/infomercials. Some of them are so gimmicky and outlandish, frankly, it would be borderline criminal NOT to roast them. I'm fully aware that there have been a few great exceptions that got the deserved funding and/or exposure on Shark Tank, social media, commercials, etc. Compared with the multitude of "As Seen on TV" stuff out there, the success stories are few and far between. Therefore, it is our sworn duty as consumers to openly mock the flagrantly ridiculous doohickeys and thingamajigs flooding our ads, emails, and store shelves.Conversely, it's also our social and personal obligation to support and recommend those few, but fantastic products so they can rise above the noisy drivel, flawed SEO, and biased algorithms to be discovered. When we find these hidden gems, we owe it to their creators to show our friends, write reviews, and/or tell our communities how helpful/useful/life-changing it was for us and could be for them, too.I have an autoimmune disorder that causes crushing fatigue and pain, among other things. I barely have enough energy to shower some days, let alone shave my legs. Considering my hair (leg hair, not head hair because *F* me, I guess) grows alarmingly fast, if I don't shave at least once a week, my legs will look like Monica's hair in those "Friends" episodes in Aruba. (You know the ones. If not, Google it... and you're welcome.) My husband of 20 years and I have been through a lot, but I don't think our marriage (or my sanity) would survive him rolling over in bed, screaming, and calling animal control only to realize it was just me and my mangy leg pelt and not a hit squad of raccoons. Yeah, no thanks.Cue the aforementioned "As Seen on TV" product: Finishing Touch Flawless Legs. The infomercial is just goofy. Who smiles and gazes off serenely yet distantly as they perform routine body hair maintenance? Uhh, not I. It's like tampon commercials where all the women are smiling, giggling, and somehow functioning on a normal, human level. I'm not buying it. Now, you show me a cranky, bloated lady demon with period gas, hunched over a takeout container, eating tacos like a rabid animal, eyes wildly darting around in search of her plastic cup full of boxed wine, mumbling angrily about how lucky that cashier was to not get throat punched after laughing at her shopping basket full of chocolate and beef jerky, then wondering how on earth she made it through the week without choosing violence, suddenly realizing it's because she started using those new high-performance tampons? I'd pledge my allegiance AND my life to that brand.I would never have given Finishing Touch Flawless Legs another thought had it not been for a woman on TikTok who has an autoimmune disorder like mine and often shares how she overcomes daily or unexpected struggles. While her review made it seem like a truly helpful product, I still hesitated buying it based on some of the Amazon reviews (of which I'm fairly distrustful but still take into account.) Thanks to trackers and algorithms, I began seeing more ads, more videos, more content in general about this product. It seemed to help a lot of people in my medical community and many others. At that point, I thought, "why not? I can always return it if it sucks large."It came in extremely sturdy packaging with a charging cable and a nice velvety bag for storage or travel. It was already almost fully charged, so I glanced at the instructions, which were clear and concise, to make sure there wasn't anything important I needed to know before I set about shearing my leg wool. Like most reviewers suggested, I used very light pressure in circular motions, going over some areas twice, which worked perfectly. The shaver is ergonomic and felt comfy and secure in my hand. Both my yeti legs were done in less than five minutes, while I was sitting comfortably in a chair, with very little effort, but outstanding results. Was this as close a shave as you'll get with a razor and shave cream? Of course not. But it was pretty freaking close and so much less exhausting. Not to mention how much water I bet I saved by not spending 10 minutes, per leg, hacking away at the dense thicket of fur with my poor, abused razor. She's a fine lass who's served me well and does not deserve to endure such horrors. Since I tested Flawless Legs while sitting in a chair (not in the shower), I checked to see how much hair was retained in the shaver vs what landed on the floor. (The clear instructions and photos made it easy to take apart, clean, and reassemble.) I knew I had shaved off enough hair to resemble a small rodent, but I was honestly astounded at how much actually stayed within the shaver. I found next to nothing on the floor around me.To say this product was a pleasant surprise is an understatement. I'll admit, I judged prematurely and almost missed out on a product that has been a game changer for me. Had it not been for someone taking less than 5 minutes of her time to share her experience/review with her community, the goofy ads and wonky algorithms would've drowned out the rest of the reviewers out there singing it's praises. And YOU would've missed out on this insane, but REAL and hopefully helpful review on the most kicka$$ electric shaver in the game.
