Review (4/5): Now I'm too sexy
Now that I bought and used the T980, my cool slacker goatee is attracting too many women. I'm not getting any rest.
Naturally, a product that causes grief should be down-rated, but I won't here because this shaver is just doing its job.
And, we all like things with "turbo" in the description, however loosely that term is applied. It makes it go faster with a cool noise, so even in a shaver that is attractive to many.
Electric shavers for beards sure beat the heck out of scissors! The Norelco has a wide range of cutting depths and my beard comes out a uniform length. I did not feel any pulling or other discomfort. The charge seems to last for days and the charger itself, like the shaver, is a decent and modern design.
The little detail cutter is easy to attach and does a great job of defining the beard area and also clipping any stray hairs under the nose where the big cutter head cannot reach.
Some people think the closest cutting position is still not close enough for that short-stubble look and that does seem to be the case. I don't want mine that close, but I understand those who do and I take off a star for brotherly solidarity. Actually, I'm sure that if it was to cut more closely, that would take it into the realm of regular shavers, an expensive world of high-tech blades and lubricants. Actually, if you press down a little, you can get closer.
The turbo thing works well. It vacuums almost every hair into the storage chamber. I didn't expect the vacuum action to work so well. I think the turbo button should be the only button, but there it is. The non-turbo setting is less noisy...
The parts detach easily and the little supplied brush works well to clean it out. The little travel pouch is nice.
The T980 works just as it should, for me, and the price is reasonable. I think it will last a long time and I am glad I bought it.
As for the women, I did exaggerate. One did make a favorable comment which is one more than before. That is an improvement, eh?
