Luckily I have a goatee so i don't have to do my chin but i use a shavette to final trim around the beard and moustache as it's just smaller,sharper and more manoeuvrable.I use the Mach3 for my head also. I can do it with a shavette, I tried it just to prove it to myself but it's a long order and i would be hogging the bathroom all day.
I don't cut myself anymore and with good preparation, soap and brush I am having the best shaves I've ever had in my life. You know the ones that make you sing little songs as you splash on your cologne and exit the bathroom.:w
