after years still the best [SEP] thinking my speed xl might die and wondering what the years have brought in new technology i picked up a new norelco and it shaves no better than the speed xl i thought i would use one in the bathroom in the morning and keep the speed xl in the car in case i had a night meeting but now i use the xl driving to work and if necessary after workin the interim i also tried a panasonic which was terrible it is unbelievable how expensive electric shavers have become and how some brands want an annuity too with proprietary cleaning cartridges i do not think my xl was more than and now it is doubled maybe because it is become exotic over the years
