Review (5/5): Best electric shaver I've used so far
I've used two other Norelco's. An older 7885 with just straight slots in the heads (but lift and cut). and one with the combination of shaped slots in the head. This new one works better than both. It's quiet. It holds a charge for a long time (I will get over 30 days on a charge). It cuts long whiskers as well as any of the earlier ones, and cuts closer than the earlier ones. I can get a good shave in a little less time than with the 7885 and a lot less time than with my last Norelco with the combination slots (sorry I threw that one away as soon as I got this new one and don't remember the model number). Once you learn how much pressure to use, there is little irritation, the same or less than with the earlier models. I found the spring adjustment in the head to be fine at the default setting, so the "more sensitive" settings won't be useful to me. It seems well made. It's a little flashy, especially the orange accents that I don't prefer. The one gripe i have is it has a converter in the cord and the cord is straight (both of my earlier ones had coiled cords which I prefer). My 7885 has the charger built into the razer so it just had a cord. But given it holds a charge for so long, I can accept that. I will not use the charging stand - it just takes up space. The razer is made in Europe, so hopefully the quality is good. I would recommend this product to anyone that is looking for a good electric razer.
