Review (4/5): From a blade man
90% of the time I shave with the standard lather and blade. I have owned a Norelco for about 10 years and usually use it for a quick shave. Decieded it was time to get a new one, as replacement blades for the old were not much less than a new shaver.
Got it yesterday, used it this morning and have to say that I was very impressed. Very quiet. Did an excellent job, not as close as a blade, but not bad. Certainly better than my old Norelco. To be fair, the old one needed new blades.
Overall, I am very happy with this new unit and would recommend it to someone who just wants a basic unit.
