Comment:
At 60, I've always had a Norelco. But now it's time to try another brand. It was 200 bucks and would sometimes just stop working. There is a problem with the battery. 1 year later it would not work. Unless you want to spend 200 a year on this shaver, I would pass.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I've always used a foil shaver before and have not had much luck (ie. shave with a foil and then alot of times used a blade to clean up where the foil missed)so I generally stuck to a razor blade.<br /><br />However, my foil was getting old and due to be replaced so I thought I'd try the rotary. <br /><br />I use this both in the shower with gel and as a dry shave and they both work very well. I don't think any electric razor will ever shave as good as a blade, but this one comes very close.<br /><br />It is also the smoothest electric shaver I have ever used. A really outstanding feature of this product.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
