A decent shave , but maybe not quite as good as I used to get with my 15 year old ArciTec Phillips/Norelco , and certainly not as close as a blade . Lots of bells and whistles so I have concerns for longevity - I have no illusions that this one will last 15 years without problems . My old arcitec did last that long . Cleaning is more of a hassle than the arcitec - just flip the heads open and rinse . This model requires that you pry off the cutting head holder , then remove a retaining ring , to lift out the cutter and rinse the matching part . Maybe the process will get easier with practice ? Instructions warn that the cutters are matched individually to the mating part , so I clean only one at a time when the retaining ring is removed . Replacing the retaining ring was not easy for my old fumblefingers ! I do like the updated flat charging system , and the zippered case .

Excellent buy! While the price was a kick in the teeth upfront, this shaver is on another level! It’s quiet, it’s sharp, it’s fast, and I can easily shave with or without shaving cream/gel. The Wireless charging pad is also very convenient. As someone who has sensitive skin and hasn’t used an electric shaver in a while, I am VERY pleased with this product.

i’ve only use this razor once but I’m very impressed with the shave and the build quality. It feels fantastic in your hand and has a great build quality. some have asked the question if it can be charged with a cord as well and many purchasers have said no, with Norelco answering yes. I want to help clear that up at the bottom of the handle there’s a small hole that you can stick a paper clip in and that cover will pop off revealing a standard Norelco plug-in so yes it can be charged both wirelessly and with a cord that is not provided but if you were a previous owner of a Norocco razor it’s the same cord. This is my third norelco razor in over 20 years all of which lasting over 10 years each so I am hoping the same for this one.

This is the beat razor I have ever used. The shave is close and comfortable. I really like the different shave speeds also. Cleans up quickly and I really like the charging pad!

Great shaver, took me a little bit to get used to dry shaving, but it was easy and painless with this shaver! No hair pulling at all. It just took a couple of passes compared to a regular shaver (I have thick facial hair). It did leave my skin a little dry, however I don't blame the shaver, I live in a very dry weather area, so perhaps I should try wet shaving next time, you can do that with this shaver! It can be used either wet or dry! It comes with a trimmer attachment to, which is great. I like the included qi wireless charger, it may work with other qi enabled devices, I have not tried, but will do so with a phone soon, since the qi is a standard. You have to clean it after every shave, which is easy just rinsing it. The manual says you have to replace the blades after a long while, so time will tell how long the original one lasts, I just hope the replacements are not that expensive. In all, after using it, no way I'm going back to regular shavers!
