not exactly for my tastes [SEP] i have been using various models of philips norelco shavers for the past years and have always been happy with them each time i buy a bit more expensive model hoping i will save even more time each morningthough i have never really saved much timesince this model was distinctly different from the others i had purchased before i thought it would be a revolutionary new experience shaving in the shower and or with moisturizing lotion to be honest the experience was not really any different and took me the same amount of time the lotion adds an additional consumable requirement and shaving in the shower seems such a waste of water not to say however that they do not contribute slightly to a great shavefor those moments when i decide to shave out of the shower the fact that there is no place for the stubble cut hairs to go besides down on you is a bit inconvenient i understand why a model like this has such a requirement but it is inconvenient when you are all dressed and you have got to watch for anything that might be on your shirt i am not shaving a beard everyday or anything but the good news is that most of the stubble seems to stick near the plastic head as long as you rinse well after every use you are probably in great shapeit is a bit inconvenient for travel usage that you have got to carry around the charging dock cradle and cannot plug the ac right into the shaver on the other hand the shaver has a lithium ion battery not familiar with many models with this feature that seems to last a long time and charge quickly when needednonetheless i will still happily use this shaver it does its job well it is just that i am not the target market for all the fancy wet lotion features inside given that i rarely never use the old fashioned razor and shaving cream it is probably not a surprise i am guessing i am not the market norelco targets this model towards
