Review (5/5): FANTASTIC electric razor!
What a surprise! My face is certainly better off with any blade, but I had grown VERY tired of spending the money on 17 blades of stainless steel. So for the last 4 years I've had a "linear" Panasonic electric which did ok, after I had lightly gone over my face with a cheap 2-blade disposable.
My razor(s) had been left on our last vacation and I picked up this one at WalMart expecting to return it. WOW!
It seems kinda cheaply made at first - very light, not much vroom in the motor, etc. But when the first charge lasted 5 weeks I understood why! It really doesn't take much power to spin the blades fast (good gearing) or cut one day of whiskers. It really is a joy to own. For a week long vacation you don't even need to take the stand.
My favorite part is the ergonomic design of the whole body - an S shape that fits comfortably in your hand up or down or sides.
And yes the shave for my medium beard is VERY close! No more disposables!!
I certainly I hope I can replace the battery!
