decent shave but not the most comfortable [SEP] i have been using it for four days now it is replacing a norelco shaver that has new blades but is several years old and does not shave like it used to even with the new blades so i tried this after a short trial i have to say that i am getting a noticeably closer shave it should be noted that i am a fair skinned blondish guy so i do not have a five of the clock shadow to contend with what i do not care for are surprisingly large shaver all hard plastic angles quite a change from the more compact and rounded norelco and the shaving heads are spread far apart compared to the norelco where the heads are all tightly central the internal gears that spin the heads are all plastic which makes you wonder about longevity i find the hard plastic edges less than comfortable still for the price it gives a good shaveso far
