Review (5/5): Back to Norelco after a Braun
After grinding away at my pretty coarse beard with my several years old high grade Braun razor I decided to switch Back to Norelco. I'd used their rotary razors for years but switched to Braun on a whim.
The Newrelco arrived today and indicated full charge in about 2 hours. With some trepidation and much curiosity I turned it on to see how it dealt with my 3 day beard. I was, frankly, blown away. It Is much quieter, and Much faster. The Braun required that I go back and forth over the tricky spots on my neck, changing the angle of the razor until I found just the right stroke to cut them smooth. The Norelco seemed to have no trouble anywhere.
The greatest surprise was my goatee area, chin and moustache. The Braun, in these particularly coarse and stiff areas, would object with a loud grinding sound and slow down preceptably. The Norelce breezed right over them, humming along with nary a glitch.
In conclusion, I'm More than pleased with my return to Norelco. The razor is a bit futuristic in style for my taste, but it sure gets that beard off. BRAVO!!!
