From the time I first started shaving, and I'm 51, I've always used a Norelco. The head on this shaver is a little thinner and that is taking some getting used to. I do like the shaver as it gives a very close shave, and when you're done you drop it in the cleaning module, lock it in and away it goes. It cleans, lubricates the shaver, and even leaves it smelling pleasant. Nice shaver, and a good gift.
