great shave and great warranty [SEP] in reading the comments i noticed that almost no one compared different shaversi have used a norelco for years but i wanted something that was better and quicker to use on a two or three day beard i have a philips norelco i bought the wahl smart shave and the braun after a two week trial i came up with the following observationson all three the blades float so they stay close to the face as you shaveon the norelco and the wahl the head swivels too it s nice but i would not miss it if it were not therethe norelco is smoother and quieter than the other two it is also the easiest to clean it only takes one hand norelco recommends and it is true that saving in a circular motion works the best with their shaverthe norelco and the wahl have lithium batteries the braun has an nimh battery i like the lithiumi think the wahl and the braun shave closer than the norelco but they are all closeas for the trimmers they all cut about the same i would not buy a shaver without it the wahl is harder to manipulate it has a nice metallic finish but that makes it hard to move up or down it slips under your thumbthe wahl has the better battery and charge level indicator and a five year warranty wahl replacement head and blades are not on amazon now the braun blades are easier to replace and the part is available on amazon norelco blades are also easy to replace and available on amazoni like all three shavers for those with a light beard or with a medium beard and you shave every day i would recommend the norelco for those with a heavy or a three day beard i would recommend the braun
