Review (1/5): At least it looks pretty
I very much wanted to like this razor. I've been a long time blad user and was just tired of it. I bought the Braun series 7, liking the look and reviews of it and found it did a nice job on my face but just couldn't do a thing for my neck. I tried all I could and got nowhere. So I figured I'd give the competition a try. Some things were better and other things worse.
Pros:
-Looks very nice
-Case also serves as a charge
-Very quiet (although perhaps more annoying)
-Cheaper than the Braun
-Is very clean while shaving and easy to clean up
Cons:
-Gives a pretty sucky shave
-Trimmer is tiny
Overall it gave a worse shave than the braun, it did slightly better on the neck but did a worse job on the face. While it didn't cut me it left my skin feeling hot and worn out. The plus side of it is that it costs about $100 less and looks pretty swanky.
I'll be returning this, either to Amazon or to Philips. And at this point I'll just give up on an electric razor. I either have difficult skin or just expect way too much out of these things. But the point is, if I have to pull out my blade to take care of my neck, why not just shave my whole face with it?
