... I have owned many cordless Norelco rotory shavers in my life (I'm over 50 now). My first shaver was a Norelco. I have always been pleased and with them and when they finally died I always bought another. I have never owned a brand other than a Norelco. This one has made me think maybe I should switch - couldn't be worst than this one. Battery dies before my 3rd shave finishes. It takes forever to shave and not very close even after I shave for 15 minutes going over the same spot over and over again - still can feel the stuble. I have never gotten razer burn before but this one has giving me one oh too many times. I know were the phrase "red neck" comes from now. Oh by the way if you happen to have a little long nose hairs this baby will catch them and pull them (not cut them). And because it wasn't cut that same nose hair could be pulled several times during a shave bringing tears to your eyes. I try to keep them very short now but am still very nervous when shaving my upper lip - just don't know when it will catch one. I have put up with this one for over a year now and it has not gotten any better. Time to trash it. I hope that this is just a single bad product that they made so I think I might try another Norelco shaver - looking at the 8240XL model. Its suppose to have a better battery and more cutting surface for a closer shave ...
