It had been years since I'd used a circular bladed razor and I didn't like it. But I was at a friend's house overnight recently and needed to shave the next morning. I didn't have my gear and used his Phillips. I liked it so much that I bought one that after noon. It gives me a really close shave and it's easy to care for.
I had been shaving with a blade for some time only occasionally using an older electric razor. The Philips Norelco PT730 has been a good change. It shaves almost as close as a blade, but without the irritation. I'm glad I went back to Norelco.
I love this shaver because it gets the job done so quickly and completely. And it's very quiet. And it cleans easily. Goes a long time on a charge and then recharges quickly.
Replaced the head on my last Norelco twice in about fifteen years. Don't remember being a closer, smoother shave as the new one gives. Used an electric razor about fifty years now and the last three have been Norelco. If I don't wear out before this one, I'll purchase another.
