Review (4/5): fine for me shaver
I've used this for over a year now, so it seems fair to review it.
It does not shave as close as a blade, but no one expects it to.
It does not seem as fast on multiday growth as the non-rotary
shaver I used 40 years ago, but it seems as fast when used daily.
(Memories of 40 years ago are not reliable.)
It does a good job of keeping the waste inside. Instead of the
recommended cleaning every two weeks, I just remove the head
every weekend and tap the head and body against the sink a few
times.
As other reviewers noted, the cord is tightly coiled and stiff.
Every few months it pulls free from the shaver enough to remove
power, but not enough to fall off. This inconvenience adds several
seconds to my shave time.
If it was lost, I'd probably replace it with the same model.
Added, January 2008: Late last year I finally noticed the shave was
not as close as it had been, and it took longer. Time to replace
the head. Norelco recommends every year; I can confirm that two years
is too long. Replacing the entire thing was less than $3.00 more than
replacing just the head, so I really have bought it again.
