I was not real happy with my Norelco AT895 which I have used for several years. I find that I do not shave as often as I did in the past (now retired), and it was difficult to get a clean shave with my current razor. I went on line and read multiple reviews which led me to the series 8000. This unit is fantastic. It easily gives me a clean shave even with a few days of beard. Rather than going over the same location 5 - 6 times I not get the shave I expect in 1 or 2 passes. I have not used the cleaning station as yet. I find it quite easy just to open the heads and brush them clean. I'll have to try this is the future. The unit is well worth the price and my face is much more comfortable with the reduced shaving stress.
I have used my SensoTouch 3D 1250X (now called Series 8000) for several years. Have replaced the head twice. Generally used in the shower with a bit of shaving cream. Decided to try the new Series 9000 Model 9300. Very disappointed. Have used for a couple of weeks and tried all three speeds. This new model does not even come close to the shave of my old one. I do understand the face needs to make an adjustment, but my skin is already used to an electric shaver. With my old one, I can actually get by shaving once every two days, but with the new one, I was already getting stubble by the end of one day. I will stay with my SensoTouch 1250X and replace it with another Senso/Series 8000 when need be. Sure am happy to see Norelco still has them.
I received my Philips Norelco 8100 today and after the first use I'm hooked! Can't understand why anyone would use another shaver, this is the very best for the value. I would HIGHLY recommend this to every man I know.
I have had this razor for 2 years and it just would not turn on one morning. It gives a really close cut and have been very happy with it and will purchase another one. Make sure to register it they give you an extra six months on the warranty if you do this would have been cover if I had registered it.
Most people enter and exit the world unbeknownst to the rest of us. They are born and although, albeit obviously, the only people that know of their existence are those that have direct or indirect interaction with them during one point in their life. Sometimes it is for an extended period that will burn the relationship into their minds forever, and sometimes for only a brief moment that happens and is never thought of again.
When these people die, most are mourned, some are not. Some make an impact, yet some do not. However, there are people that are born for greatness. Those that people know, yet they will never have any chance in interacting with them ever. Greatness is not defined by good deeds or bad. It is simply defined as an individual that defies the law of existence. It is an individual that defies the law if age or time. They become immortal. Their name rings on for a thousand years. Sometimes the stories grow tall or the reflection grows blurred, but they are all great by this definition.
The stories of these select few are written sometimes even before they die. This is one of those stories.
There has never been a gift given that has kept giving for so long. This story is yet only a memoir, as there is no end in sight. If you are reading this, read it out loud so others may hear of this greatness.
I remember the occasion; however, everything else is only a forced reflection. To this day, I wish I was more "in the moment". Christmas with the family...ahhh a time of giving and getting. I do not remember what I gave...I only remember what I got...but, only one thing. The package was probably wrapped in some manly colored paper that deceived anyone who laid eyes on it, as it contained one of the most important items you would never know.
Wars have been won, they have been lost. No matter the victor, none have been worthy to receive such an exceptional gift. So how was I, a lowly peasant, awarded such an indescribable blessing? I was not born into wealth, nor was I born into poverty. My birthright was simply my existence. Has I won the lottery, I wouldn't have considered myself as lucky as I was that day.
For over two years, I have given thought to the importance of this letter. My time is not worth writing something that has no substance, and even more so, I cannot assume your time is any less important than mine. Please allow my point to be made.
I was once asked to sell a pen in order to prove I could sell anything. That was easy...A pen defines you. You wouldn't think; however, your word isn't anything until it is set in stone for all to see. A man's word cannot be stone written in pencil. So you see? A pen is one of the most important things a man may ever carry. Yet, it is given no thought to. Swords are held...shields are held...but swords will dull and shields will break. A man's word can be broken; but when it is written in stone, but it will be remembered.
This is a similarly important tool. It shapes a man's face. It defines your initial perception of him. Promotions are given, hiring is made, relationships formed...All based off of the sculpture that exists the bathroom first thing in the morning. What you wear matters, but people don't look at your clothes when they talk to you. They look at your face.
These great men are defined by their look, beyond what they have done. Abraham Lincoln. George Washington. Ulysses Grant.
Young men act immortal. Old men reflect on their mortality. Yet both will be defined by how they looked when they have done something great.
How will you look?
I have never had a razor that has lasted this long. I have never held any electronic that has lasted weeks without a charge, even with constant use. I have never witnessed a blade that never dulls. It can be wet without getting rust. It is simply the only electric shaver you will ever need. You will achieve greatness by owning this razor. You must think greatness before achieving it.
