Smooth out of the box... and that's a first!
I hate shaving my whiskers! They're fine, and the beard on my neck lays flat. No matter what shaver I've tried -- Norelco, Remington, even a Braun that I used for year after year, would cause some issue somewhere, or just leave a raggedy patch of missed little hairies. This Wahl (a great name in barbering) felt great out of the box. Smooth, no sense of heads cutting at all, and the shave on my neck was so smooth I think I could have run a cotton ball over it and not snagged one stump of stubble, which I could never say about any other shaver I've ever owned.<br /><br />Usually I'll dismiss a.) five star ratings for less-expensive products (are we rating the product, or how little we had to spend on it and how awesome that was on its own?) and 2.) five star gushing reviews after one day's use by the purchaser. Or less.<br /><br />I may be getting ahead of things here, but having wasted over $200 on a recent Braun-in-name-only throwaway lump with the most aggravating noise outside of radical dentistry, my first impressions here are so good I couldn't wait to post. Loving this slightly larger than expected but still comfy little machine, and I have never been able to say that about a generally slow torture device like an electric shaver. Love this Wahl, and I fully expect that will continue.
