I don't have a thick beard by any means & have given this shaver two months to break in, shaving every day to every other day. Before the 1150x, I had a Norelco CoolSkin (6711x) that I've had for about 7 years & only replaced the heads once. it gave me a clean, close shave after the first or second pass. Using the 1150x I have to go very slow with multiple passes & directions while looking in the mirror to get the hairs it missed. Looking at the shave heads, the 1150x has only 9 blades compared to 15 in my older model, which could be part of the reason. Regardless, I am very disappointed with Philips-Norelco on this product & have actually went back to using my older shaver.
Pros: quick charge, easy to clean
Cons: doesn't get a good shave
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very easy to use and clean. I like using it with shaving cream on my face, it glides over my face so much easier. Fits in my hand well too!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had an older Norelco for 7ish years and finally bought a new one and it is so much nicer than the old one. A much closer and faster shave.
I would recommend this to a friend!

IT IS DIFFICULT GETTING UNDER THE NOSE, AND THE NECK IS FINCE BUT A BIT AWKWARD, SLIGHTLY SMALLER HEAD WOULD PROBAQBLY FLOW A BIT BETTER, ESPECIALLY FOR MY OLDER FLABBY NECK.
I use a different shaver. I was given the Norelco as a gift. It left my face raw. I thought it might be a matter of becoming accustomed to the device, so I used it for a few weeks. It's too harsh for me. I'd send it back if I could.
