Review (5/5): After 6 years still the best
Thinking my Speed XL might die and wondering what the years have brought in new technology I picked up a new Norelco, and it shaves no better than the Speed XL. I thought I would use one in the bathroom in the morning, and keep the Speed XL in the car in case I had a night meeting, but now I use the XL driving to work and if necessary after work.
In the interim I also tried a Panasonic which was terrible. It is unbelievable how expensive electric shavers have become, and how some brands want an annuity too, with proprietary cleaning cartridges. I don't think my XL was more than $100 and now it's doubled, maybe because it's become exotic over the years.
