Pros & Cons
Pros
It shaves closely, holds a charge for days and is easy to clean. Closest shave in the fastest time. The blade shave is close and smooth.
Cleaning station takes up some real estate in the sink area. Cleaning stand uses large plastic cartridges that contain some type of alcohol, lubricant and scent. Solution pod for the station smells great.
This razor is built like a tank, inside a safe inside a brick outhouse. Much better then braun electric shaver series 9. I often use it after braun or norelco to finish what they left behind.

After dying, expected within next two months, using another brand. But the way the merchant did is nothing different from cheating. Not that it seems to matter as no one has verified or updated this from previous complaints.

Quality

Had an issue with product; called philips norelco direct, but they said: closed, call back monday!
Price
Obviously this is an expensive electric razor, however it’s worth the price.
Packaging/appearance
Rubbing my hand over my face, after the 3day old hairs removed: magically smooth!
Competitiveness
The razer might be a little over priced but overall it does shave better than past razers from same manufacture and cleaning/ch... Read More
One of my gripes with a cartrage razor was that they were kind of punishing to use especially when you make one pass and it doe... Read More
So i don’t blame it for taking a while as a traditional non straight edge cartrage razor can’t cut it easily either.
