Review (2/5): 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.
First, what I like about the razor:
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.
The trimmer is on a spring release that works much better than my old Norelco's trimmer that took some force to open.
Indicators to let you know when to recharge and when the razor is at full charge.
What I did not like about the razor:
For the other posts who said the larger blades did not seem to make a difference from older razors, I must agree.
The charger light is only a light, not a gauge.
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.
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.
Better make sure you are happy with your shave before rinsing the razor.
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.
