Author's Review
I needed an electric razor because I have to shave everyday(military housing rules). On weekends, I just didn't feel like going through the whole routine. (You know the one: wet the face, shake the can, lather up, change the blades, cut the face, hold the toiletpaper on the cut etc., etc., etc.)I was looking for an electric razor that would work on, what I consider, a Homer Simpson beard. I had purchased Remingtons, Norelcos, and even a Braun bottom-of-the-line razor when I was younger. They always seemed to miss hairs and the motor "bogged-down" on my dense whiskers.
Well, this razor is a whole different story!
I just wanted to use it on weekends because my shave didn't have to be "inspection close". After the first shave, I knew I was hooked. It was effortless! No heating up the water, no waiting to get dressed, no fighting with the wife for sink space. The shave was close and fast. I purchased a good electric preshave product and pulled the skin tight as I shaved(tips found at the website of smallappliances.com. The factors affecting the closeness of the shave are the ultra-speed motor, the flexing head, and the triple-cutting system. I paid a good,low price for a factory re-serviced razor with a 2 year warranty(was $120 now $69.00). While seemingly expensive, this razor shaves close enough for US Marine Corps inspections! The blade razors I was using were costing about $6.00 per packet, every couple of weeks; that really adds up.
There are, of course, other benefits to this razor: quick recharge times, long charge holding, and you can shave in the car for those days when you are running late. I wont be going back to the blade anymore. What a great product!
