    Great for facial hair, not so great for your head.

    As a prank I tried using shaver to cut my nephews hair and it ended up getting caught making him scream out in pain luckily I am skilled with a harpoon and was able to pull off some Aqua man skills. Long story short my nephew is bald, mad at me, and wears a beanie all of the time.

    I bought for my husband and there are really small holes in the head for cutting that he does not like. I think this is just a preference although for some it would not be a problem. He just prefers the heads that have only the slots for cutting.

    I had an old shaver from Philips since college and I've used it for over 10 years. Even though the battery is unchargeable and I have to use it with a charger, it still works fine. This year I decided to buy this one and I found that even though this one is much lighter than the old one, it doesn't shave as clean as the old one and I have to move back and forth several times in order to get a clean shave. Also, with this one, you have to replace the head with the trimmer if you want to use the trimmer function whereas my old one it's attached to the body of the shaver so you just need to press a button to use the trimmer.

    Provides a close shave but you have to be used a rotary razor. I have used foil razors exclusively for years and this will really make your face/neck sore. Not for me.

    Works best dry but is a little bit a rough shave when you are wet or maybe my face wasn't wet enough? Anyway a good product because I use it 90% dry shaving and nice not to have a cord to deal with.

    Great shave. I got this on a daily deal and it's easy better than buying the blades for the same price. New razor instead of just blades? Thank you very much I haven't changed my old razors blades in years. The difference in close shavewas amazing. Smooth

    Nice design. I like the minimalism large button. I have accidentally turned it off because the button is so big. I wish it came with a small cleaning brush. Back in the day, Norelco use to include it,

    Works surprisingly well. Tried a few electric shavers over the years but never worked for my facial hair. This works as long as you shave at the minimum of once every other day. Any longer and it’ll struggle.

    Not as close as a razor

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    According to Norelco, "As close as a razor or your money back". Norelco asks that you give it at least 3 weeks of use, no razor shaving in that time, to see how it works. It's a decent shave, but not as close as a razor. Best Buy return period must only be a couple of weeks, because it tells me I can no longer return the item to the store/Best Buy. Now I have to jump through the Norelco hoops to get a refund. Add to that frustration that Best Buy credit card charged me a late fee when I paid 28 days after I purchased. Not too happy with BB right now.

    Very good product for the discounted price I purchase it. I bought it for my father as a father's day gift but gave it to him way before as i couldn't wait for him to try it. gives a very close shave. He loves it and that what matters.

    Just average

    It's OK. That's about what you will get out of a low end shaver, so don't expect high quality with this one. I waited a few weeks before reviewing since it takes skin time to adjust to a new way of shaving. Within that time frame I can say that even though the razor is for wet/dry, it works better when dry. It is tuff to be precise around areas like sideburns and if you don't shave for a day or two it makes the cut a lot more difficult. You may as well spend the extra money and get a razor that leaves you looking good and feeling good.

    Bought this to replace a dry shaver. Works well in the shower. The only complaint I have is that with the placement of the shaving heads I can't get close to my nose and sideburns.

    Not the closest shave but similar to past electric razors. Don't like that you cant use it as a wired razor. i.e. when it is charging.

    excellent rotary blade for the money. fully capable of cutting curved surface. Without use of shaving cream though, it is harder to cut compared to panasonic arc blades

    The razer build quality is great. However the blades are not as sharp and somewhat weaker in use than my previous philips razer. But overall worth it if you can get a good deal on it.
