[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Can't get a close shave. Leaves about a one day growth. Almost have to break your finger to get the pop up trimmer to work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shaver shaves close without cutting or nicking the skin. It shaves fast while stll able to reach small areas.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hi quality close shave. Concern about the same on/off switch that has failed the last 3 Norelco electric shavers I had to buy over the past 6 years. None of the 3 were under warranty! Each failed for the very same defect—-on/off switch failure.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Guess I expected a close cutting of my scalp, instead it was very close like sandpaper. To get a smooth baldness still requires a shaving. On the positive side, it’s easy to use and not messy, catching all clipping in its cage until you release them.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blades barely turn on full charge. Don’t know if that’s how it’s supposed to be or not. But I’m not happy with it. So I went back to my old razor. Will probably buy new blades for it. It’s gotta be better than what I have with this new one

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As the instructions say it takes a while for your beard to adjust to a new razor. Even though I replaced an older Norelco it took a couple of weeks to adjust. Shaver works well dry and using shaving cream it’s razor close, has a good life between charges. Only downside is you can’t use it while it’s charging. Indicator lights show the amount remaining. This is my third Norelco expect it to last a long time.
