Review (1/5): the steady decline of Norelco....
I don't know whether Philips has had anything to do w/ it, but this Speed-XL is the worst Norelco i've owned to date. I'm 42, medium bearded, and this is my 4th Norelco since i was 18. They've gotten progressively slicker looking and quieter, but i make so many passes over the same spots to pick up whiskers it's RIDICULOUS. I could go on and on, but suffice to say it just isn't worth the money. Wish i could recommend an alternative, maybe AMF will branch out THIS time from bowling balls and football helmets to electric shavers!
