Norelco Razor a Keeper
I received the razor after christmas. I had been using the Braun for the past 4 years. After many Foil replacements, I decided to go back to the Norelco as the Braun was not giving me a close enough shave. The Norelco advises using it for 3 weeks so your beard and skin get accustomed to it. I already like it as this is my second week of usage. I get a closer shave than my older Norelco. The improved shaving heads seem to give a closer shave. I don't have as much five o'clock shadow as I use to and I don't have that heavy of a beard. The skin sensitivity control is a plus although I have it set to "normal". My son-in-law bought one and his is set to the "sensitive setting." He is not experiencing any irritation. They have inproved on the pivioting heads and I think this has a lot to do with the improved shave and comfort. The razor LED tells you when to clean the heads. I clean it after every shave. This is simple as all you do is rinse it under hot water, shake off the excess water and set it back into the "charger holder." With the Braun, you have to purchase the cleaning fluid cartridges, an extra expense. The razor is extremely quiet compared to the Braun. Shaving at 5AM now doesn't disturb my sleeping wife. This razor works for me.
