Review (5/5): Excellent!
I read most of the reviews posted here and it really seems that you are not going to know whether or not the shaver you choose is going to do the job until you buy it and try it. I had tried a number of the Braun style shavers and they just ripped me up, yet others will swear that they are the best you can buy. I have gone back and forth between the razor and my old triple-head Norelco and decided it was time to get a new one. First off, this is a good looking shaver. Feels good, if a little light, in the hand, too. I have waited the recommended 21 days before writing this review and I am very pleased with this product. I have a better than average beard and I more often then not skip a few days on the weekends. The 1050 handles it all, smooth and clean. I rinse it everytime - it's so easy - just flip up the blade covers and run it under hot water. The trimmer does seem a bit under powered and does work better when you pop off the razor head. I am very satisfied with the razor and included travel case. Bottom line - if you are already a norelco style user looking to trade up, go for it.
