Review (5/5): Their Best Yet
I have used Norelco shavers for probably thirty years or more. This generation is, without doubt, their best yet. It gives a very close and comfortable shave, and no, it is NOT the equal of a blade. No electric shaver is. Two of the best improvements are the washable heads (I always washed out my Norelcos, but it was never recommended), and the improved battery technology, which permits this remarkably quiet shaver to go for weeks without a re-charge. Its ergonomics are excellent. It's design is sporty and fun, and the tiny quartz clock, seeming frivolous at first, is a nice touch which I have come to rely on. Five-stars here, but there is one minor, annoying detail they dropped the ball on: It's a challenge to get this thing back onto its stand, usually requiring several tries. Seems expensive - until you own it. Excellent!
