I have not used an electric razor in 30 years so I don’t have a lot to compare this razor to but this razor works very well for me. I would buy this razor again and I would definitely recommend it to everyone.
Pros: close shave
I would recommend this to a friend!

The worst Norelco shaver I've owned in 30 years! I dread using it. Insufficient cutting. It feels like I've got 5-o'clock shadow all day long. Moving in circles doesn't help either. My previous Norelcos only took 3 minutes to shave. Now I spend 5-6 minutes going over and over my face. Cleaning of blades: previous models, once per month; this model, every 5 days. Also, this model doesn't have a battery life timer, so hard to tell when to recharge.
Cons: does not cut close enough, requires frequent cleaning of blades
I have been using razor blades for over fifty years. It took awhile to get accustom to using an electric razor. At first I had trouble with getting a close shave in some spots, but now this razor provides a good uniform smooth shave. I do not know how long the battery last because I automatically charge it every few days. The fact it is water resistant is a big plus. I am very happy with my purchase and do not plan switching back to using razor blades.
At age 76 I was tired of scrapping my face and the whole routine lathering up, etc to the point of only shaving a few times a week. I had tried a Norelco 40 years ago and used it for a number of years, so when I decided to use an electric razor again it was my first choice. I had more recently tried some of the oscillating electrics but didn't like them, to noisy and slow. I am totally satisfied with this new Norelco. Using a pre-shave lotion, I get a blade close shave in a few minutes. The redesigned shaving heads easily cut curly as well as straight hairs. The physical design of the razor makes it easy to handle and I shaved 25 times before needing a recharge. I don't plan on shaving in the shower or using shaving cream, but wanted the aquatec feature so I could rinse the shaver under the tap after each use. Again, this razor does everything I wanted in an electric
Pros: ease of use., long battery life, quiet operation, reasonable price
I've been shaving for many years and this razor matches and even shaves better than any blade or electric razor that I have ever used. I highly recommend it to everyone.
