[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.
[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.
