This product cannot be rated properly by someone who expects the same kind of close shave that a razor would provide. Electric shavers simply don't do that, and cannot be expected to. Then again, they don't slice through the skin..This electric shaver has been worth every penny. I am one of those lazy women who forget about an important meeting at work until I'm in the shower and running late. I'm not going to wear a skirt unless I HAVE to, and I'm certainly not going to shave unless I HAVE to.So this shaver has saved the day several times over the past couple months. I really like the fact that I can use it in the shower and it does a better job than any other electric shaver I've used. It seems to charge quickly and holds a charge for what seems like several shaving incidents.I hope it lasts for several years, like my little Panasonic hair trimmer that is still going strong after at least ten years, but sadly only takes batteries.
