Got this razor and gave it a quick inspection and a full charge right out of the box. Went to try it out. It took 30 minutes to get a rough shave. I usually shave every other or 3rd day. My beard isn't thick and it doesn't grow very fast. It takes me a week to get that '3 day look'. I last shaved 2 days ago.
The razor was weak and didn't shave very well at all. It seemed to rip the hairs out of my face rather than cut them effectively. My face was sore when I finished and I had some razor burn. It wasn't a close shave at all.
The razor was very easy to clean and seemed well built, just very weak. This would be why everyone says it's nice and quiet. I'll take a bit more noise and a product that works well any day.
I've been using a Braun 3040s (about $30) for many years. I've had 2 so far, wore the first one out and my current one is needing replaced as well. I thought I'd try something else because I was tired of using replacement heads and foils that cost 80% of a new unit. I also don't care for the idea of trashing a perfectly good item just because a single wearable piece needs replacing. I've never had a problem with the Braun other than that.
This Norelco is going back and I'll try a newer Braun, maybe one of the 6 series.
