Review (4/5): Nice Razor
I have been a Norelco shaver user for about 15 years. In that time, I've had ups and downs with their products, but I've been mostly satisfied and keep purchasing new models every few years.
Pros:
The shaver has unique "floating" shaver heads. When you shave, it's much easier to get to hard-to-reach areas of the face, since the body of the shaver creates no restrictions.
The shaving gel makes for a more pleasant shaving experience. It allows for a closer shave with less irritation.
This shaver is FAST! I'm able to shave in about half the time as with my old Norelco.
I like the charging station which cradles the shaver (as opposed to just plugging in the razor and setting it on the counter to charge).
Cons:
The trimmer for sideburns and beards is separate and needs to be installed and removed for each use. Those familiar with the pop-up trimmer on other Norelco models may be disappointed. (I'm just going to use a personal trimmer and not bother with this.)
While the shaver is faster, there's a moderately complicated cleaning process recommended after each use and this eats up time.
Overall:
This is a good shaver for the price. I think the pros outweigh the cons.
