Review (4/5): Great Razor but "Automatic Charging" IS NOT Automatic
This is my first electric razer since shaving with a blade for the past 20+ years. I really like the convenience of shaving without cream, water, etc. The razor is nice and light and is very comfortable shaving. With a little practice, it gives a nice, clean shave. So far, I have not required any pre or post shaving lotion/cream to stay comfortable. It's also very easy to clean the heads..just put them under running water and out comes the hair. My only gripe is the "automatic charging" claim. Everytime you want to charge the razor, you have to plug it in. They recommend unplugging the charger when not in use because it shortens the battery life otherwise. It would be nice if you could just leave it plugged in and forget about it. However, so far it recharges very quickly, only taking about 15 minutes 1x/week and the "full charge" blinky light tells you when to unplug it. A previous review reported using it for 3 weeks without charging. If you run the battery dead, it takes only 3 minutes charging for 1 shave, so you don't have to worry about the charge state too much. Besides that one gripe, it's a great razor and I highly recommend it. While shaving with a blade I was skipping days because of the hassle. Now it's a shave every day, and I actually look forward to shaving!
