Review (3/5): Why do I like this thing?
I have used this for about a month and here is my take on it.
Cons:
1. I get a better shave with an old Sensor II Gillette razor.
2. I agree with another reviewer who complained about the recharger. It is flimsy and I am never certain the razor will stay in the holder. It looks and feels and works cheap.
3. I have a handlebar moustache and sideburns. Shaving near either doesn't work. Nor does the trimmer attachment work for me. I end up cleaning up with my trusty blade.
4. The gel packs work, but also seem cheap. I mostly end up using my normal shaving gel (Edge).
Pros:
1. I like the fact that I can use it wet.
2. The charge lasts a very long time, and the recharge is very quick.
3. It is very convenient to use. I find myself shaving more often than I did with a blade just because it is easy to use. For example I find myself shaving quickly before my wife comes home. Never did that before. :-)
4. The ergonomics are good. Good fit in my hand. Good balance. Easy glide over face, neck, chin.
5. I hav oily skin and find I get a better shave before washing my face rather than afterwards.
Conclusion: I like the thing and decided to keep it, but I will be darned if I know why. Oh, and I just truned 67 and haven't had an electric razor since the 60's.
