As a long-time Braun fan, I was appalled by the quality of this shaver. I don't have any kind of problem skin but the shaver painfully tugs at my beard stubble, leading to a lot of "ouch!"s. The shaver irritates my skin and my skin develops red blotches. After about 50 shaves, the foil developed a large hole. The usefulness of the long-hair trimmer is very limited because when deployed it extends only about half an inch from the shaver at a 90 degree angle, which means you have to hold the shaver so close to the face that you can barely see what you are shaving. The only positive quality of this shaver is its light weight.
