the best razor ever [SEP] i had a norelco years ago then i went through three brauns the micro foil ones that a straight instead of having three circular blades like this one all my razors were expensive they were all the best in the bunch this is the best by farthis razor shaves close i have never felt my skin so smooth except when i used to use a blade it conforms to your skin even my neck comes out smooth about minutes to completely shave smooth or i will usually shave for less than a minute and get a shave that lasts until i get home from work it has a timer that not only tells you exactly how many minutes of battery are left but it also tells you how many minutes you shaved for which comes in handy more than i thought it would the best feature is that you can pop the top up and rinse it in water my brauns cleaned with refil cartridges that were hard to find and expensive and a hassel whereas my old norelco cleaned with a brush and never got really clean this one cleans easily and quickly and even beeps to tell you when to clean it also this razor does not give me razor burn like my brauns didif you are a first time shaver or an expierenced shaver looking for a better shave from an electric razor this is the one for you i will never buy any other brand of razor again and i will probably have this one for years to come
