great quiet shaver [SEP] my old years norelco needed new blades again so i decided that rather then spend nearly the same amount on blades i would instead get this newer discounted shaver for nearly the samefeels nicer then my old one seems to give a closer shave could be the new blades though and new rechargeable batteries sure hold longer then the old unit but what surprised me the most is how incredibly quiet it isi am not crazy about the wanna be high tech design but in the end could really care less either way the old shaver had more streamlined lines like the difference between looking at a nice sporty car with great lines and then looking at one of those butchered hummers these daysif you can get this at a good price do not hesitate
