Excellent at grabbing most facial hair (does well at grabbing the longer hairs missed in the previous shave). The round design of the head does make it a little difficult to get to certain areas such as next to the nostrils.
I was using the speedxl for years and thought it was great. On a recent trip a part on it broke. Rather than replacing the part I opted for the SensoTouch 3D 1250X razor. I thought the price was high but after using it I loved it. Excellent razor
After shaving with a conventional fancy razor blade for over 30 years, I chose to go back to an electric razor. I had no idea or the technology and improvements that have been made to electric razors. This is by far the best decision I ever made. I now look forward to shaving each day, instead of dreading it !
The only feature of the shaver I found difficult is the plastic heads cover. Trying to get off was difficult. Mine finally broke after stress. Need to get another one ordered if possible! Can I order a replacement?
I've used Norelco rotary shavers for a long time. To me, the Sensotouch 3D feels very delicate in my hands. Unlike the sturdy heavy-headed Norelco shavers I've used in the past, this shaver just seems too fragile. I've dropped many Norelcos in my life and I'm trying to be careful not to drop this one. It does a nice job and the charge lasts quite a while, so no complaints. I haven't tried wet shaving because I'm "old school" and, for me, a dry shave is the best shave.
