Review (4/5): A Worthy Purchase
I bought an electric shaver because I'm lazy. I used a Mach 3 for about 4 years and then upgraded to Mach 3 Turbo blades. I got a really close shave (I go with and against the grain) and with the exception of the right and left parts of my chin, there were no signs that facial hair even existed there. But this would take me forever, and the last thing I want to do when I wake up is shave. So I decided to buy an electric shaver. I've had the shaver for about two weeks now. I was not very content with my first coulple shaves, but things improved over time.
Pros
- Gets very close. The left and right sides of my chin are still difficult to shave, but I get much closer than I used to.
- Takes half the time to shave.
- There is a little collection compartmant that captures the hair so I can shave in my room while my roommates are taking a shower.
- It comes with 9 settings.
Cons
- Its difficult to shave around the neck. I tend to cut myself a little whenever I try.
- The cap was annoying at first becasue it is difficult to tell which side attaches to the front. I ended up drawing an arrow.
- Cleaing and drying it is kind of a pain.
- Near the end of the battery life, the shaver kind of dies down.
Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase. The instruction manuel recommends changing blades after a year (they cost about 20 dollars I think). I think its worth it.
