The best I've had yet
I've been using electric shavers of one form or another for over fifty years, and this one I rate as the best yet.<br /><br />First it's one of the most comfortable. I can comfortably shave the back of my neck with this shaver where others irritated. Second, it's by far the fastest shaver yet, plus it gets any long hairs in its path. I attribute at least part of its speed to the third row of cutters which sets this one apart from many others. Third, it works fine wet, lotion or water, or dry. I'm using up some of the lotion cartridges from a previous Norelco dispensing shaver and it works very smoothly with them. Fourth, it went well over a month on the initial charge. Fifth, the built in trimmer is effective and convenient as opposed to some trimmers I've had that had to be attached in place of the shaving head. And finally it's easy to clean and packs light and compact for traveling.<br /><br />The battery level meter is nice for checking when the charge is full. When the battery does finally give up and you're in the middle of a shave the charging cord can be used directly into the shaver to finish, then when ready for charging it can be connected to the charging stand for a regular charge. Charging is done relatively fast also, in roughly about an hour or so it's full and ready to go another month or longer.<br /><br />There's often the argument between basic types of shavers, foil or rotary being two of the subjects. I recently tried one of the newer and recommended foil shavers and it's now on the shelf. Foil shavers for me miss too much, long hairs for sure, but they are not as effective on the regular stubble for me as a rotary shaver. That would be bad enough but my experience with foil shavers was if you missed a place in the previous shave, you won't get it next time either even though you go over it. I often had to use the trimmers on foil shavers, even the best of them, for just regular shaving chores.<br /><br />I've bought and used a lot of electric shavers, but I've never had one this good before of any brand.
