Review (3/5): Doesn't compare to Braun
My parents bought me yet another shaver for my birthday. I wasn't too excited, but I tried it anyways. The 7885 takes way too long to shave, and seems to miss a lot of hair. I am Asian, don't have much to shave to start with, so this is very disappointing. It took over 5 min of shaving to get a point where I thought my face felt good. This shaver does NOT irritate at all, which is a good thing, considering I have really sensitive skin. Just for fun, I shaved my face again with my Braun Synchro, to my surprise, I heard cutting noise... Apparently, the Braun can save even closer than the Norelco. After a quick shave with the Braun Synchro, my face felt even more smooth. I am not pro Braun per se, but it seems the Braun Synchro shaves way better. One more thing, if you keep certain facial hair, like goatee, you will find the big head of the Norelco to be a problem, you can't get a precision shave, where as the Braun has a narrow rectangle shaving surface, is much easier to control. I was always pretty neutral about Braun and Norelco, but now I clearly found the winner--Braun Synchro.
