Good, but not excellent
I bought this to replace a Philishave 8000 series razor. Boy, is this a cool looking razor, with the carbon-fiber panels, the neat countertop stand, and the spaceship-like "power pod" (which is too hard to get the razor in and out of). The shave is closer than my previous electric experience, and does not irritate my fairly sensitive skin. However, the razor definitely has trouble picking up long hairs and hairs that lie flat against the skin. I used to shave every other day and find myself having to hit areas multiple times if I do that now - but the flip side of that is that now I can shave daily and not suffer horrible skin irritation. I feel I chose the right razor, but can't shake the feeling that it could be better.<br /><br />A final note - it really does take 21 days, maybe longer, for your skin to adjust to the new razor, EVEN if you are ALREADY using a different electric razor. Wait it out before giving up.
