hmm, never heard that. but i will say it didn't pinch my skin and i always shave against the growth of the hair because that is the only way i can get rid of my hair. and i have yet to break out yet when using it.
that body bare thing looks nice though.
in walmart, they had the microtrimmer for men and then one for women. the men's trimmers blades look a bit longer than the womens (and probably stronger too) but i'm sure either one would work.
and if you can't find the microtrimmer in walmart, here's the link to it:
