Good features; disappointing results
I have had this razor for 6 weeks now (that's past the 3 week adjustment period) and overall I am disappointed with it.<br /><br />First, what I like about the razor:<br /><br />The quick rinse cleaning is a very nice feature and the reason why I choose this razor.  I am not very good about cleaning the razors.<br /><br />The trimmer is on a spring release that works much better than my old Norelco's trimmer that took some force to open.<br /><br />Indicators to let you know when to recharge and when the razor is at full charge.<br /><br />What I did not like about the razor:<br /><br />For the other posts who said the larger blades did not seem to make a difference from older razors, I must agree.<br /><br />The charger light is only a light, not a gauge.<br /><br />On the subject of charging, the manual says that you should not let the razor sit in the charger to preserve the internal battery.  This can be a real problem since I shave close to the time I am leaving.  So, I don't have the time to wait and remembering to charge it when I get home usually doesn't happen.<br /><br />Although quiet (something that I could not care less about) it feels weak.  I find myself constantly checking to see if it needs recharging.  My problem areas were not solved by this newer razor with larger blades and my shaving time was not reduced.<br /><br />Better make sure you are happy with your shave before rinsing the razor.<br /><br />I find it works great if I skip a day of shaving, but daily shaving and 2 days or more of growth can give this razor trouble.
