Review (5/5): Wonderful shaver
About a 2 months ago I bought a Norelco Quadraction 8895xl razor. The holes and slots idea sounded pretty good to me. However I found the Quadraction took longer to shave than my older Norelco's and was irritating to my face. So I decided to try the new Spectra version. Good thing I did because they have definetly improved on the slots and holes idea. This razor is sort of a hybrid of the quadraction and the reflex razors. The Norelco Spectra 8890XL is fantastic. It gives a close, irritation free shave as close to a quality blade (Mach 3 razor) as you can get. The nine comfort settings are a great feature. Also nice is the LCD display and you get 70 minutes of shave time off of a 1 hour charge. Although the price may seem high initially when you figure in the cost of razor blades and shaving cream this razor pays for itself in no time. The Spectra 8890XL is the most feature loaded, highest quality electric shaver on the market.
