Review (3/5): not as good as my older norelco 6826xl
I bought a braun syncro, after I had my older Norelco Quadra for a few years. While the Braun was good, I still preffered the rotary shave that my Norelco gave me.
I let 2 more years go by and decided to get another Norelco, I still have my old one but I dropped it and cracked the head where it latches, it's still useable though.
Anyway, This Speed XL does not feel as solidly as my older Norelco and it is not as powerful. This gives me a very uncomfortable shave as it tends to pull my whiskers, it hurts a little.
The Braun syncro is a better razor than this one.
Although Norelco boasts to have a newer and better razor every year, they really aren't any better than the older models, and in my case it's not even as good as the older ones.
I can no longer stay faithful to one brand. I have read some very good reviews on some of Remington's foil shavers and even Panasonic, so maybe in two more years I will try one of them.
You just don't know which razor is best until you try them all... Unfortunately they are too expensive to try them all.
