[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It gives a very nice shave but not as close as I would like. My old old Norelco rotary shaver from like 30 years ago have me closer shave and had a more [powerful motor..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A few bumps on the road but not on my face.

So far so good. As this is only my 2nd electric razor in my 66yrs on this great green earth of ours, I have only good things to say about my recent purchase. I purchased it initially after years of using the "soap and scrape method" of a safety razor due to a medical condition requiring radiation treatment, so I am waiting to get back to my new Phillips razor to continue using it. Radiation caused the hair on my face to fall out so I haven't need it at all during my treatment. But that is behind me now and I look forward to resuming my new razor relationship very soon. I will get back to you then, Thank you Phillips.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It gave an excellent close shave. But when I tried to clean it I couldn't get the three rotary blades to fit back in, I fumbled with it unsuccessfully for almost half an hour. I had others try as well without success. Finally I gave up and trashed the thing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hoping even the lowest model would still have the power and blade RPM's to get a quick and close shave. I was willing to give up bells and whistles for price. It didn't work out that way.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Light weight, quiet, long lasting battery, but does not cut close enough Wet and dry feature is a plus
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used a safety razor of some sort for 50 years. I have been forced to change to electric due to use of blood thinners. I can't get this shaver to "glide" over my face so I can "move is circular motion". I haven't been using it long and haven't tried the "wet" option with anything other than my old shave cream that is too thick. I rated it a 3 because I can't get as good a shave as I did with razor and it takes MUCH longer to get a satisfactory result. I don't know how to compare with other electric shavers since I have never used one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: Durable razor, reliable brand, long-lasting battery. Cons: Shave is decent but not as close as I am used to or expected from a rotary razor.
