20 Year step backwards in closeness.
#1)  I bought this instead of the cheaper version because this had the Travel Case with it.  What a JOKE.  It's a wrap.  My previous Norelco's all came with nice cases to travel with, but this is just some flimsy neoprene wrap...  NOT worth the extra $20 or so that this cost over the basic model.<br /><br />#2)  I had the previous version of the CoolSkin razor, and really loved it.  When the battery finally died in it, I purchases this one just because it was the next version of the razor I liked.  This one, I can barely tolerate.  Since I passed my "try it or money back" period, I'm stuck with this thing till I can find something better.<br /><br />#3)  This is obviously a razor that is put out just for it's funky look.  Not how well it performs.  The razor head covers keep falling off, all it takes is a slight twist and the head unit falls apart.  The new head design is a single drive, instead of previous norelco units that drive all 3 heads independently.  This razor is SLLLLOOOOWW!  It reminds me of my first cordless razor from 1985!  I wouldn't recommend using this in the shower, as you'll waste more money in water bills than getting a close shave outta this slow razor.<br /><br />#4)  Keep a standard razor handy.  You're going to need it for the areas that this razor just REFUSES to shave.  No matter how much lotion I use, how many times I go over this area, how much I twist, turn and tug, this razor refuses to shave certain areas of my face.<br /><br />Overall, this product is a major disappointment.  I would not recommend this to any of my friends.  I just wish I wouldn't have gone past my "you'll like it or get your money back" period.  I'm out $100 for this turkey of a razor.<br /><br />EDIT: 8 months later<br />Battery is dying in this thing fast.  8 months in, and it no longer hold a maximum charge.  I keep new cheap razors in the drawer, as this razor just will NOT get everywhere.  Norelco has lost a long time customer with this piece of garbage razor.
