Review (4/5): A great shave with a few quirks
I bought this shaving system in the hopes that it could make shaving a bit less painful, as I've always had fairly sensitive skin. In the few months I've owned it, I've been very pleased with the performance and the overall results. Here are a few things I've found...
Pros:
- The moisturizing system does work very well. I get substantially less skin irritation than I have in previous razors that I've used.
- I've discovered I enjoy shaving in the shower. I always tried to avoid mixing shaving before a shower due to the irritation, but this works well.
- The charging and refill system is nice (more on this later).
- Comfortable to hold and use.
- I shave more often using this than any other razor I've used previously.
Cons:
- You'll be compelled to shave daily, since it works best and most efficiently that way. That can be a pro or a con, depending on your lifestyle.
- While the charge and refill station is great, it seems that I always run out of moisturizer before running out of battery, so I have to remember to refill it myself, since they suggest not leaving the razor on charge all the time.
- I haven't found a great shower mirror yet, so I wind up starting my shave prior to the shower, to trim around sideburns and the like.
- Works better as a wet razor than as a dry one.
- While I like the scent of the moisturizer, it took me a bit to get used to it.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this razor and would suggest it to anyone looking for a new electric. If you are OK with the pros and cons, then I say go for it, you won't regret it!
