Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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.

It provides a very gentle, comfortable, close shave with the shaving cream i use.

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.

    My dislikes are that the trimmer is not part of the shaver so i use a separate trimmer


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The brush is of no use to me and this razor is so easy to clean that im not sure that the cleaning station that came with it will be used because for me its too bulky and requires refills for the cleaning solution
