Very Good Alternative [SEP] I'll rate this 4 stars because nothing is perfect. I have tried various electric razors and generally I am left unsatisfied. Then about a year ago I came across the Norelco 6735 Advantage razor and I am happy to report that I have found the closest thing to a perfect electric razor. The Norelco does very well with daily shaves but doesn't do well against multiple day growth. If I go more than a day without shaving, I'll use a blade to get the close shave. I don't know anything about the mirror since that was not available when I made my original purchase but the razor itself is very good. After 1 year's use, I am still using the same blades that originally came with the razor and it is still shaving as close as when I purchased it. The gels are good though I feel they are somewhat expensive. I will be purchasing 3 more of these razors for my 3 sons this Christmas and believe me, if I wasn't satisified with this razor, that wouldn't be happening.
