Not bad if you can handle the harsh adjustment period.

I've been using foil shavers for years, and decided to try a rotary. I was ready to go back to foil after the first shave, because this one left my neck extremely red and irritated.
I would shave every morning and take a shower every night. The soap actually burned/stung my neck. That has never happened to me, and I have been shaving for 15 years.
After a week, my skin finally started to adjust, and after 2 weeks, the irritation became minimal.
My skin no longer burns/stings in the shower, but I am still not fully convinced, and may go back to foil. But I'm going to give the rotary at least one more week to prove me wrong.
If it cannot, I will definitely be taking advantage of the 45-day money back guarantee.
Pros: quick, simple, smooth, easy to clean
Cons: extremely harsh adjustment period, leaves neck red and irritated
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great product for all around shaving comfort

I use this product mainly for neck shaving, simply because I have a beard and mustash, but I have never had a shaver that was so smooth and easy to use on my neck. No burns or rash after use. Only thing I need to do is get new blades as the blades will soon need replacing.
Pros: ease of use
Cons: blades need to lkast longer

Good product, minor criticisms

I've had the Philips Norelco Sensotouch 3D 1255X for about a month. Overall, I have found it a really good razor (a significant improvement on my old one# and recommend it. The only minor criticisms of the product I have are #1# that it is difficult to effectively shave stubble in the few millimeters directly under the nose, and #2) that there isn't a convenient travel charger option. However, I am otherwise very satisfied with the product and recommend it to others.
I love this razor, I always had a very sensitive skin but I have almost no irritation with this product, however I'm forced to us shaving gel. dry shaving irritates me.
Pros: elegant, long battery life, close shave
Cons: difficult to reach somepart of the face

Its much easier to shave than with blades, however blades give a better shave. I alternate and that seems to work well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cuts close without irritating my skin. I bought it as a "Second razor" for my travel kit. It is so much better than my previous razors, I use it all the time. Now, I need to buy another one for my travel kit!l
Pros: efficient
Cons: pricy but worth it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
