Caused Me to Switch to a Blade After 30-years with Norelco!
For 30-years, I have shaved exclusively with Norelco shavers.  They are the only brand that I've used since I started shaving.  This shaver has caused me to switch to the razor blade!<br /><br />When my old Norelco died, I was thrilled to see this technologically advanced shaver.  I even watched the videos at the company's website.  Better yet, I was able to get a new one for only $66 on eBay.  Then the fun ended.<br /><br />This shaver has three advantages:  It looks beautiful, the battery last a long time, and it's easy to clean.<br /><br />On the points that matter most, it fails miserably.  I have tried pulling my skin tight and going over the same area 20-times in each direction (40 passes total!) and it still doesn't shave as closely as my old Norelco or my new Gillette Mach 5.  Sad.  The beard trimmer is so tiny it's hard to tell when it's deployed. It's noisy. It takes up more room in the suitcase than my old Norelco's.<br /><br />I wanted to like this shaver, I really did.  My son wanted to like it too, but we both concluded that it's a failure.  It simply doesn't give a close shave.  We've both switch to a blade.
