As a blade shaver since I was young I was skeptical of trying to use an electric razor. But I was pleasantly surprised. I still don't get the very close shave that I used to get with a blade but that's to be expected. However, the shave that I get with this razor is pretty darn close! And I don't have to worry about the nicks and cuts I was getting with the blade, especially on the upper lip where I have a scar. That's always been a bad place to shave.
My old Norelco razor died because I dropped it. I planned to buy another but purchased the more expensive SensoTouch 3D. It was hard to imagine any improvement over the previous model but I was hopeful that the newer one was not just stimulate sales. I am very pleased to learn the newer product is much better. The shape is more natural and takes less effort to hold which is a big plus for painful hands. The shaver is quieter and the batteries keep a more constant speed evan when nearly drained. While all these points are noteworthy I am most impressed that the SensoTouch 3D gives me a closer and quicker shave than your previous top model.
I have been using this product for wet shaves and it is exvcellent, though it does take time. I would recommend it highly above any blade shaving system, though it doesn't give as close a shave. It does pretty well, though, given the fact that it considerably reduces burns and nicks produced by conventional blades.
Pros: close shave comfortable versatile
Cons: requires a lot of time to get a good wet shave.
This razor replaces my 10 year old Norelco. The new model has a more comfortable handle and provides a more effective shave with less effort. The only shortcoming is the design of the trimmer. Though it appears more durable than the previous design, it is more difficult to see where you are cutting as the shaving head is larger and more awkward to see around.
Pros: close shave with less effort, comfortable handle
Best ever electric razor that i have ever owned. so glad i went back to an electric razor after years of disposable razors due to lack of satisfaction of earlier electric razors. buy it, you can't go wrong
I used Phillips shavers my whole life (I was born in Holland) and was never disappointed with their products. The only comment I have on this shaver although minor is that I would like the trimmer to be longer. It is hard to see when you are using it although it's maybe because I am left handed. (Ha, ha)
