If it cuts without grabbing and leaves the shaven area smooth, then it should give you a great shave. I saw Murray Carter test it on his upper lip and that is a great test.

I test by dry shaving as well, not sure everyone can do this if they are the 5' o'clock shadow type manly man, but its works for me.
