Worth the dough
I think all the "Pros and Cons" guys have covered this shaver pretty thoroughly, and I agree with 90% of them.  Hope Norelco is looking at this site for improvements to the follow-on models because with a few tweaks this thing could be just about perfect.  A genuinely good shave.<br /><br />Only thing I have to add is that, while the little Nivea packs are okay, I've found a product that I greatly prefer.  Lather up your face and neck using a pea-sized blob of Clearasil's oil-free Daily Face Wash, and then have at it with the Norelco.  The Clearasil is much more slippery and enables the razor to move around easily without pushing and pulling your skin nearly as much as the Nivea.  Plus it seems to make it easier to find quickly those few whiskers you may have missed.  And, the Clearasil covers your entire shaving job in an instant and stays in place (unless your face is directly in the water stream, of course), so you don't have to keep pushing the little Nivea button.  Cleans/rinses easily, so no problems with the razor heads.<br /><br />The Nivea is fine; the Clearasil works much better for me.  I use it  to wash my face instead of soap anyway, so it's already in the shower.
