Beautiful to look at. Shaves very well. But when compared to the Norelco AT models, it's not as easy to hold, not as easy to maneuver, not as easy to clean, has a trimmer that's narrower in width, and can only be charged in the stand. Finally, I don't think it shaves any closer or more smoothly than any of the less expensive Norelco AT razors I've used.
Pros: beautiful to look at, shaves very well, charges quickly
Cons: trimmer width too narrow, must use stand to charge
I have had several cheaper electric shavers over the last 20 years or so and have been totally disappointed in them. I finally gave up and went back to shaving with a manual razor. I was in doubt about the purchase of a higher priced razor due to the bad results I had. I received the one now have as a gift. I am greatly surprised and satisfied with this shaver as it does all it should do and then some. I will always use this type of shaver in the future.
This razor was too expensive. It takes way too long to shave and I end up with what feels like a five o'clock shadow and my face is sore all day long from trying to get a close shave. It definitely is not THE ULTIMATE SHAVING EXPERIENCE you advertise.
