Too delicate for travel....
I have been using Norelcos for over 20 years to shave. They have certainly improved in all aspects over the years, except one - ruggedness. The floating head design in the newer shavers have become so delicate that they really cannot stand up to the tear and wear of a frequent traveler. My second one broke within a year and I have not dropped it anywhere. I suspect keeping the razor in checked-in baggage makes the plastic brittle in the typically cold baggage hold and any small knock is going to break several tabs that exist to keep the blades in place. They really need to be carried in a hard shell. Once any of these several failure points break, there is nothing you can do with the razor as you cannot get a replacement.<br /><br />Avoid the current line of brands unless you use this primarily at home and never intend to drop it!
