if looks were everything [SEP] i bought one of these for my teenager for christmas and i was envious that he was getting a norelco that was better than the old mans i mean it is got the high tech looks the head that swivels to the contour of the face what is there not to like he was very well pleased with the shaver and when he filled out the warranty information online he got a coupon for a discount on another norelco shaving product i was all set to purchase my own but decided to take his out for a spin first well i did like the head that swivels to the contour of the face but that is about as far as it went for me it was a rough shave and it felt similar to a band aid being pulled off of hariy flesh my old norelcos have never exhibited this sensation so i was somewhat surprised i tried it two or three more times but it still felt harsh to me i have not told my son i do not like it because he is young and thinks it is cool to just be shaving and the does have a real century look to it however i did order a replacement set of blades for my old norelco from amazon in my case it was worthwile to simply keep a good thing going a while longer
