nice look feels pretty solid but average in performance value [SEP] this is a dressed up version of the wahl lifeproof shaver which i also reviewed it has a more upscale look and feel to it plus adds a battery gauge to show the charge level however the shave quality is the same ok but not a standoutthe case feels more solid than the lifeproof and while it s more of a traditional look i think they did a nice job with the overall aesthetics it is pretty grippy even with wet hands it does not however feel as comfortable to hold as the more sculpted models such as most of the panasonic shavers and some braun shaversthe shave quality of this model is identical to that of the lifeproof very remington in how it feels close but rather aggressive performance is best on the easy spots cheek but not as good on the more trickier spots neck and jawline the flex head helps with dealing with face contours but it lacks enough travel to do an excellent quality jobthe aggressiveness of the shave is dialed down when using it wet it needs a very very thin layer of shave cream the gel style creams work well or the head gets bogged downlove the trimmer the positioning could be improved to make it easier to use but it cuts very cleanly on sideburns and shash trimmingthe controls are clean easy to read and tell you all you need to know charge and battery status i like the feel of this better than the wahl lifeproof but the shave quality keeps this at the same rating average which is stars it s a very workable shaver but for the price there are better choices available from panasonic anything in their arc line or for less money from remington
