Review title is Best yet from Phillips/Norelco. [SEP] Yes, it's true. This is a good switch from even the latest Gillette multi-blade wonder. Even the replacement lotion (or gel) cartridges are much cheaper than those blades or the multi-pack (whole plastic ones with a handle) throws-away.<br /><br />I recommend spreading the lotion or gel with a finger rather than relying on the 'glide rings' as this will make it go further. Also, any basic model without the bells and whistles will serve you just as well.<br /><br />I suffer from a heavy growth/sensitive skin combination, and find this razor to be the best Phillips/Norelco device, yet.<br /><br /> I bought mine about eight months ago, and even shave my head with it. Not quite as close as the 'naked' blade, but as mine grows to stubble within a few hours - who cares? My wife LOVES it, too - and can't stop kissing and sniffing my face and head after I shave!<br /><br />Now for the going shopping bit:<br /><br /> I highly suggest going for a factory refurbished unit. This is by far the best value for your money at about one third the  price of a new one. I found mine at Goodmans (also available through Amazon). These are simply shavers that someone has tried and returned because it didn't suit them. Mine is absolutely like brand new, and arrived in the same sealed packaging as a 'new' one. Obviously the heads and cutters have been replaced, making them perfectly clean and safe.<br /><br />Yaba-daba-do. I'm a very happy camper (shaving camper, that is)!<br /><br />Bon chance, fellow hairy's..
