[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The electric razor does a good, quick job of cutting facial hair. The shave is close as expected. However, the shave, in my opinion, is no better than the Norelco 8000 series I had before. In addition, the blades have a perimeter of plastic around the shaving head that makes moving the blades under the nose difficult. I have to followup with a safety razor to get a better shave. The Norelco 8000 had no border so getting to hard-to-reach places was easy.
Overall the razor is decent but I would probably purchase a more economical Norelco in the future.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 3rd or 4th electric razor. It is by far the best that I have ever had. It's very close to an actual razor shave. I'm entirely satisfied with the shave quality, and I'm happy that I chose this razor for purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This razor is fabulous. I went from a 25 year old 800x Norelco to this. It made a huge difference in my shave. My previous razor worked well for pre shave. Then I woukd hnd shave in the shower for a very close shave. I no longer have to to that. This razor gets so close and smooth. The cradle for cleaning works well and the charging stand works great. Overall Im super happy with it.
