I have had several previous Norelco shavers all of which were very good. I like the feature for cleaning the razor by washing. This feature was also on my prior razor. This package was purchased because it had all features plus extra set of blades to rotate into the shaver at a later date. My old razor needed new blades and was not giving me a real good quick shave. All it needs is blades and I am sure it will be as good as new. In any event the new shaver is giving me an excellent shave and later when needed I can rotate the new blades and not miss a beat.
I can't believe that after shaving with a regular razor, I was able to get a closer shave with the electric. I did this right after I shaved with the blade. I have used electric razors for years, and this razor got much closer than any other brands I have had.
I bought a Norelco Rechargable Shaver from the post exchange when I first joined the service in 1984. I had it until this year, and I would have kept it longer except that the charger cord frayed, and I could not find a replacement. I have made numerous blade replacements over the years.
I bought this model, and with all the bells and whistles...it still shaves the same...very good. I expected some major comfort change or even closer shaves. Nope. Same as before...but, I learned a long time ago...Don't fix what ain't broke! Keep up the good work Norelco!
