Norelco's Spectra shavers are excellent.
Recently my old electric shaver died, so I had to buy a new one. Since I have tough whiskers and sensitive skin, finding a shaver I can use without hurting the skin on my face and throat is difficult. But, fortunately, I had recently seen some ads on TV about the new Norelco Spectra shavers which have nine adjustable settings to allow them to be customized for closeness of shave and skin sensitivity. I was fascinated by this feature but, quite frankly, I was somewhat put off by the price -- which is significantly greater than I had ever previously paid for a shaver. But, on the other hand, I really wanted a shaver that would not hurt my sensitive skin -- and Norelco shavers have an excellent reputation for quality -- so I took a chance and bought a Spectra. Frankly, using a Spectra is unlike any of the dozen or more shavers I've used over decades of shaving. At the proper setting -- which requires a little (but not too much) trial and error -- it gives a comfortable shave much faster than I've ever experienced before. And the comb/cutter assembly can be cleaned quit simply with running water. Also, it has an indicator to show how much shaving time is left after each shave. If the adjustability, fast shaves, and features of this shaver appeal to you, you will probably find it worth the price.
