Had to switch to electric...
I had to switch to an electric razor due to irritation caused by using a blade. I wasn't thrilled about it, knowing that an electric will NEVER give as close a shave as a blade. This did indeed prove to be true, however, I will give this razor more credit than I thought I would. It is extremely lightweight and quiet. Cleaning it couldn't be simpler, simply rinse under hot water. Charging and simple maintenance are both as easy as cleaning it. As others have said, it will give a good, close shave on the cheeks and other broad flat areas. On the neck, especially under the chin/between the Adam's apple area and either side, it is lacking. I go in different directions, and gently pull the skin, etc. and still I can't it as close as I want. That said, however, it is convenient to shave with an electric. The manufacturer claims that the shaving head should be changed once a year. Since the hair on my face is closer to the wire bristles you'd find on a wheel mounted to a grinder instead of hair on a person's face, I figure changing them twice a year will be a better idea for myself. All in all I'm satisfied with this item, and the price I paid for it. I rated it four stars because this is my first experience with an electric so I don't know what would constitute a five star product.
Rating: 4 stars
