Review title is Disappointing Closeness [SEP] Having used regular razors all my life, this was my first experience to an electric razor.  I was quite disappointed.<br /><br />I gave the Norelco 8040X a solid week of use, thinking that it might get better over time (as their manual suggests).  It did not.<br /><br />Every morning after shaving I had to manually touch-up using a $2 Bic razor.  This product did not come anywhere near my skin no matter how light or hard I pressed it against me.  Maybe that's just how electric shavers are?  I'm not sure, but they can't be this bad.<br /><br />I was however impressed with the battery life (a full week on a single charge) and how quiet it is.  With the shower running, I could barely hear the motor.  It's waterproof, so I can use it in the shower.  It comes with a nice travel case.<br /><br />The sideburn attachment is a nice thought, but there was no ear/nose trimmer which I have seen in $20 Norelco sets.<br /><br />As for the moisturizing part, the lotion smelled nice but it didn't really add to the experience.  And from what I can see it's very expensive.<br /><br />It's back to my $2 razors for me.
