Very nice. Norelco says it will get better
My wife got this shaver for me as a birthday gift. It looks very nice and feels very comfortable on my face. I have it set to the normal sensitivity setting which means it tightens the spring and pressure of the floating heads. So far, no razor burn. This setting is suppose to also give the fastest shave. The shaver is very quiet. It comes with a great stainless steel carry case. For a razor this expensive, that is nice. I should not have to worry about it when I take trips. If I keep it in my car to shave while driving to work, it should be protected. Other than flushing with hot water, Norelco recommends cleaning and lubricating once a month. You can use their commericial products or, their instructions say use rubbing alcohol and mineral oil. They also suggest replacing the shaving heads once a year. Norelco offers a 60 day money back guarantee. They say you need to use the razor exclusively for 3-weeks before you decide if it's right for you. This allows your skin to adjust to this razor. If after 3 or 4 weeks you don't think the razor is right for you, send it back. So far, I'm pleased. If it's better in 3 weeks, GREAT!  Read your little instruction book if you get this razor. I believe Norelco invested quite a bit into R&D. For what this razor costs, you should take advantage of their efforts. My wife is hoping I will be more inclined to be clean shaven morning and night. This razor offers no excuses. The LCD display is just fine; I don't know why anyone is complaining about this. Perhaps they are Braun employees. It counts down how many minutes of charge time you have left as well as reminding you when to flush and charge and even replace the heads at the end of a year. Norelco says I can expect about 80 minutes of run time from a charge. At 3 minutes a shave, that's 26 shaves. Shave twive a day and you need to recharge twice a month. If necessary, you can run it with the cord pluged in as a corded shaver.
