Why do I like this thing?
I have used this for about a month and here is my take on it.<br /><br />Cons:<br /><br />1. I get a better shave with an old Sensor II Gillette razor.<br /><br />2. I agree with another reviewer who complained about the recharger.  It is flimsy and I am never certain the razor will stay in the holder.  It looks and feels and works cheap.<br /><br />3. I have a handlebar moustache and sideburns.  Shaving near either doesn't work.  Nor does the trimmer attachment work for me.  I end up cleaning up with my trusty blade.<br /><br />4. The gel packs work, but also seem cheap.  I mostly end up using my normal shaving gel (Edge).<br /><br />Pros:<br /><br />1. I like the fact that I can use it wet.<br /><br />2. The charge lasts a very long time, and the recharge is very quick.<br /><br />3. It is very convenient to use.  I find myself shaving more often than I did with a blade just because it is easy to use.  For example I find myself shaving quickly before my wife comes home.  Never did that before.  :-)<br /><br />4. The ergonomics are good.  Good fit in my hand. Good balance. Easy glide over face, neck, chin.<br /><br />5. I hav oily skin and find I get a better shave before washing my face rather than afterwards.<br /><br />Conclusion:  I like the thing and decided to keep it, but I will be darned if I know why.  Oh, and I just truned 67 and haven't had an electric razor since the 60's.
