Review (4/5): New User
I had used a Norelco in the past with mixed results. I have been using Mach 3 Turbo with excellent results. However, I have grown tired of purchasing the expensive blades and of the irritation of using blades. I was encouraged by the reviews and advancements made so I thought to give it another try.
I have a tough beard and it grows in different directions making it difficult even with a blade. In addition, I have extremely sensitive and dry skin. I was impressed with the rapid 1 hour charge speed. Also, I was impressed how it quickly and easily removed the whiskers with minor irritation.
Although, I thought that the Mach 3 may have done a better job in getting a closer shave. However, the next day proved that not to be the case as I had much less hair growth. This turned out to be a problem as the Norelco had a difficult time shaving small hair growth. I persisted and shave again. I got the results I was looking for along with major neck irritation. I am hoping that over the next few days my skin will adjust.
I caution new users to watch out for the blades around the mustache area as they will pierce the lip if you press to hard. I can personally attest that the blades are as sharp, if not sharper, than a razor blade.
