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 man's. I mean, it's got the high tech looks, the head that swivels to the contour of the face. What's 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's 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 Norelco's 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 haven't told my son I don't like it because he's young and thinks it's cool to just be shaving, and the 1050 does have a real 21st 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.
