I have owned many electric razors and of late I have been purchasing Bruan's. I seem to go thru an electric razor every 3 years or so. My last 3 razors have been Braun's thus this is my forth. I bought it because of the many postive reviews and because I was totally satisfied with my previous Braun razors. Not any more. This razor just does not shave. It a very solid built razor, thus out of the package I was pleased. But after the first shave I was not happy. I have been using it for 4 months now, I even changed the foil and blades as I bought extras when I made my original purchase. Still a very poor shave. I have been using my blade razor most of the time and only use the Bruan for a quick touch up. I am now reviewing which razor to go to next. I may buy a high end Braun but I hate to spend that kind of money and end up with the same results. I would not recommend this razor to anyone.
