This shaver is the best ever made for a few reasons:
1. Based on the way the blades contour your face and actually cut the hairs on your face, you don't have to press the shaver against your face very hard to get a close shave. This is a huge breakthrough because it significantly minimizes irritation
2. It's unsurpassed in its ability to cut long and hard to reach hairs on your neck
3. The trimmer is designed very well
4. It's surprisingly compact for travel
5. The shaver is extremely easy to clean
6. Easily the best wet/dry shaver ever made--yes you can use this shaver in the shower!
Pros: minimal irritation, great for the neck, great trimmer design, can use in the shower or on a dry face
None of the previous shaving systems I have used have taken care of two obstacles I have to shave around. I have a large Adam's Apple that is very difficult to shave cleanly. My 1250X System works better than any razor I have used, blade or electric. I also have a sharp chin that is diffulct to get shaved cleanly. Again, my 1250X system does great.
I have been very satisfied with my 1250X and will gladly upgrade a more advanced Phillips-Norelco system when my present system is no longer usable.
Product is great, however replacement heads are difficult to find and extremely expensive. If I'd known the problem with replacement heads I probley would have not purchased the product
My wife bought this for me last Christmas, and it's the best shaver ever! Smooth, close shave and easily cleaned. I like the fact it can be used wet, too. The charge lasts twice as long as my older razor, and I like the warning it gives when there are only a few minutes left on the charge. I would recommend this razor to everyone.
Pros: close smooth shave, long lasting charge, low charge warning, easy cleaning, wet or dry capability
