not as good as my older norelco 6826xl
I bought a braun syncro, after I had my older Norelco Quadra for a few years. While the Braun was good, I still preffered the rotary shave that my Norelco gave me.<br /><br />I let 2 more years go by and decided to get another Norelco, I still have my old one but I dropped it and cracked the head where it latches, it's still useable though.<br /><br />Anyway, This Speed XL does not feel as solidly as my older Norelco and it is not as powerful. This gives me a very uncomfortable shave  as it tends to pull my whiskers, it hurts a little.<br /><br />The Braun syncro is a better razor than this one.<br /><br />Although Norelco boasts to have a newer and better razor every year, they really aren't any better than the older models, and in my case it's not even as good as the older ones.<br /><br />I can no longer stay faithful to one brand. I have read some very good reviews on some of Remington's foil shavers and even Panasonic, so maybe in two more years I will try one of them.<br /><br />You just don't know which razor is best until you try them all... Unfortunately they are too expensive to try them all.
