Good grief. 

No matter how they spin it, it is $150 for a device that shaves your peachfuzz. It's a scalpel blade with Clarisonic thrown into the mix so it's "more" than a scalpel blade. It needs recharging. It has disposable blades that (supposedly) "cannot" be re-used, and three months worth costs $50 (including some "mandatory" soothing lotion you "must" use).

I cannot imagine spending that kind of money for something a $10 device you can buy in the drugstore will do *just as well*. Seriously. It's a razor. A razor is a razor is a razor. And then being conned into needing the "special" one-use-only "edges." Heaven forbid we should use the word blade.

No one can convince me that I wouldn't get the same results with a Finishing Touch or a disposable razor, some scrub, and $10 "soothing lotion" of my choice.

You are so right. Let's think people !

I believe it may be more effective than a razor, but the fact that you can't reuse the blades is a total turn-off.  I love this "Each is specifically designed for single use. To maintain sanitary conditions, each Edge will self-destruct after use."

I'm 60 y/o and need effective and safe products.  So, I actually ordered this.  I was very skeptical also but I read non-vendor reviews online and decided it's worth a try.  

My reasoning:

rechargeable ~ my current peach fuzz trimmer requires batteries 

this looks easier to handle 

tried the non electric blades and they dull quickly and are harsh on my skin

single use blades are important to me....yes expensive but I am prone to infection and this is cheaper than a hospital visit

dermaplaning is expensive

Maybe I'm a 'sucker' but I'm thinking this might be more beneficial than other options.

If money is no object, no doubt it works. I just feel it's money I could/would use differently. The non-electric blades do dull quickly but they only cost about $5 per use vs. Dermaflash's $12.50. If you used a non-electric razor twice that would drop to $2.50 per use. The battery operated ones cost $10-15 for about 2 months of use, before it gets too dull.

At QVC's offer price the cost is about $35/mo. + s&h for 6 mos. including the device and after that $50/mo. + s&h for the refills. 

I realize that some will buy it; to *me* it's wasted $$, but that's just me.

I ordered it.  I really don't care about buying the refills.  I've developed a lot of peach fuzz and stray hairs since menopause.  I've used the disposable razors and actually slipped and cut off part of a mole.  And, I've never liked the way the other "lady's" trimmers have worked.

I also like the exfoliating feature.  My skin is sensitive and doesn't hold up well to facial scrubs.

If I don't like it, I'll send it back.  But, if it does the job, I'll happily buy the refills.  We penny pinched for years and don't have to anymore.  It's a luxury that I'm going to allow myself.

Marilyn Monroe was known to be as photogenic as she was, because her skin was covered in a fine layer of peach fuzz.  Her face appeared to glow in photographs because of that layer of peach fuzz on her skin. That fuzz helped deflect light in photographs and make her glow.

QVC has sold so many Emjoi and Tria devices in the past, this seems less useful especially when you have a one use blade.  I personally have an emjoi and clarisonic. These do the trick.  I also carry a little gadget call Lilibeth.  Lilibeth is to remove that peach fuzz and I have have mine forever!!  It is a shaper and cheap to replace.  This is for those inbetween moments.  Carry it everywhere and use it anytime.

Why are you concerned what people are willing to spend their money on?  I am sure you make plenty of purchases (as do we all) that others find frivilous.

QVC is entitled to sell what they wish at whatever price they want, and we are free to buy or not.  That is how capitalism woks.
