Review (5/5): Jon F.
It does what it says it does--shave as close as a blade. I have been shaving with electric razors for over 30 years, because once I finished school I simply didn't have the time to shave with a blade anymore. I've owned mostly the less expensive Norelco rotary razors, and they've been pretty good. I have always resisted buying the new high tech models because I didn't think going cordless or having a fancy stand bought a closer shave. I have a very tough beard and I had never used an electric shaver that came close to the shave a Gillete razor could give me..until now. Friends and my father in law told me that this new Norelco system was incredible and they were right. It took me less than a week to get used to it, and now I feel like I am shaving with blade razor. All that's missing is the shaving cream. The results are really oustanding. This was a gift from my wife and she spoiled me with the 1090X. There are less expensive models that use the same cutting system without some of the bells and whistles if you want to save a few dollars.
