"Q" got this one right!
So James Bond uses this razor: that's not the reason for you to buy it. I am a 20 year user of upper-end disposables (Mach 3, since it came out) and my wife decided it was time for me to ditch the expense and time of the lather and water. I have tried many electrics: Braun, Panasonic even Norelco but the Spectra 8894XL tops them all. Make sure you give your face time to adjust. Most people expect an electric to shave as close as a true razor...give it 2 weeks and you will be pleased with the results.<br />As for the razor itself:<br />Pros<br />1. The Comfort Control System is for real...I develop ingrown hairs, but the Spectra has eliminated 99% of this problem.<br />2. You will love the informative display: IF you are a techno junkie like me...if not, go with the 8825XL; same razor, minus the Lithium battery and Display.<br />3. Low noise...your wife will love this one. I can talk on my cell phone and shave...While driving! (don't try it!)<br />4. Rinse with water! 'nuff said<br />5. Leather Case...a touch of class from Phillips on this one.<br />6. 60 day money-back guarantee!<br />Cons<br />1. The pop-up trimmer feels cheap and is difficult to use.<br />2. The Plastic Head-Cover and Stand are useless...and feel cheap.<br />3. Expensive, and I'm tight!...BUT it is worth the money...<br />4. The blue power cord does NOT match the razor...(trivial, but true!)<br />Trust me on this one: The 8894XL is the razor to buy if you are switching to an electric...give it a week or 2 and you will not be disappointed.
