I've been using razor for several months.It works as advertised and I've only had one blade change.Gives a close but not irritating shave or close trim.
I hate shaving. I hate shaving cream, I hate the cold/hot water, I hate the pulling of a dull razor, I hate the cutting of a sharp razor, I hate the ingrown hairs I get after a too close shave; ...you get the point.
This razor is none of that. It's quick, easy, no water, no shaving cream, no cuts, no ingrown hairs, and best of all, it's technically shaving so I'm good for work. Not a super close shave which is perfect for me.
I'm only 2 weeks in so my only concern is how long the razor will last, and then how much the refills cost.
Blade break far to easily and long before they wear out. I use this the shorten stubble every 3 to 4 days and have yet to get longer than a month before the rubber blade attachment breaks. Have never seen the blade indicator wear down. Due to price of blades and longevity, buy a more expensive, quality unit. It'll be cheaper in the long run. (actually short)
Cons: terrible blade life., expensive replacements and frequently needed
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

On my first use, the rubber blade attachment broke/separated. Now I have to buy a new blade. Crap in my opinion.

Tried many beard trimmers and electric shavers without success. Talked myself into buying this product thinking it would be another one that I would return because it did not live up to what Phillips said it would do, but here I am almost three months later and I love it.
I love this thing! I actually use it to shave my head. I have the bald head thing going on. It works perfect for the dome. The only drawback I have is that it's hard to find the replacement blades. I ended up having to join the Norelco auto-ship club just to get the blades. Other than that; I highly recommend it, especially if you shave your head!
