Norelco Rotary 1050 Comments
First, I just returned a Norelco 1050X ($190) after seeing almost no difference in shave between it and the Remington R-5130.  I've never had the quality problems some mention below with the 5130.  Does the 1050X seem better built?  Only slightly, not an extra $135 though (I'm not take by the woven carbon fiber look).<br /><br />I like the way the Remington charges, unlike the Norelco where I need to get the stand out, plug it in then set the shaver in the stand.  And a BIG issue with the Norelco was you can NOT leave it plugged it.  So I guess Norelco expected me to leave work to go home and unplug after an hour or 2 then return to work!<br /><br />Some folks below complain about the size of the 5130/7130 series.  Personally (here we go again) the Norelco 1050X is too small for a "normal" sized hand.  The size of the 5130 is just about right.  The Norelco felt like I was holding my toothbrush.<br /><br />And most imported is the quality of shave, which I am very happy with.  Remington hangs with the Norelco products just at a much lower price.  I'm 44 and having been shaving for over 2 decades, been through many units.  And, have always returned to Remington as Norelco products never did any better for the extra cash.
