it is the perks you are paying for [SEP] this norelco shaving system is just that a system that is what one pays for because the closeness of the razor is not near what the hand held manual razor can do we have used this face for hubby legs for me and bottom line is the shave is not as closethere are great perks here the multi purpose display is excellent indicates how much time you have left before recharging and the time is plenty the storage case and charging stand are neat features but for the quick shave you need to use it too long going over and over it sure looks good though rizzo
