I've been buying Norelco electric shavers and replacement blades for years. They've always been reliable and given me a decent shave. This shaver is definitely an improvement over the previous shavers I've had. It does take about 1-2 weeks for your face to get used to the shaver blades and then it gives you a pretty close shave. The only small gripe I have is that it's relatively noisy. I think it's because the motor and blades spin faster then earlier models.
I recently started using the shaver after many years of using a blade. This shaver leaves a considerable amount of stubble especially on my chin and neck area. I am not getting any indication of the battery condition i.e. when do I charge the battery? What do I need to do to improve the performance of the shaver? I plan to continue using this shaver until i am satisfied with its performance.
I bought this model instead of replacing the cutters on my previous model because I wanted slots instead of a combination of slots and holes on the head combs. It works much better with my very fine hairs. The battery life before a charge is needed is exceeding my expectations.
This shaver does a good job on men's faces so I decided to try it for myself. I wasn't the least bit disappointed. I love the way it feels and it's easy to use.
I've been using Phiilips Norelco Shavers for decades now. This particular item is inline with their products I've used in the past. It performs well, is comfortable in your hand and does a decent job in giving you a clean cut shave. The pop-up trimmer is a good added feature for sideburns. I use it corded most of the time as to get a longer shave time out of the charge but when on the go cordless works fine. It's a good value when purchased through a discounter/big box store. I would recommend it at this price point.
Pros: good value comfortable to use trimmer feature d, trimmer feature decent shave
Cons: shaving heads don't last a year as stated, doesn't come with a mesh pouch, doesn't come with a little cleaning brush
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Electric Razor

I received a free sample of this razor to review. I've been using this razor for 2 weeks and I'm hooked. It took a few days for my face to adjust to the razor, but now I don't have any redness. I can shave in about half the time compared to a traditional razor. Cleaning is a breeze since its waterproof. I also enjoy using the sideburn trimmer that pops out of the back. It's really convenient and gives me a clean look.
