GyroFlex 2D Technology for Optimum Comfort and PerformanceDesigned to handle the contours of your face, SensoTouch utilizes GyroFlex 2D--two-dimensional contouring technology that's able to pivot in a circular motion and tilt inwards. Its contour-following system adjusts easily to every curve, minimizing both pressure and irritation. The result is a close shave that's easy on your skin.
Precisely Cuts and Trims Each and Every HairSensoTouch delivers a close, comfortable shave with complete coverage and accuracy. DualPrecision heads have slots to shave the normal hairs, and holes to shave even the shortest stubble.
The patented Super Lift&Cut dual blade system lifts hairs to cut comfortably below skin level, while the low-friction SkinGlide shaving surface slides smoothly along your skin for a close shave without irritation. There's also a precision trimmer feature for mustache and sideburn grooming.
Comfortably Shaves--Wet or DrySensoTouch lets you shave any way you want. The AquaTec seal gives you the option of either a comfortable dry shave or a refreshing wet shave with shaving cream or gel. No matter which you choose, SensoTouch's slim, non-slip grip makes for easy handling.
Cordless ConvenienceWith SensoTouch, you'll enjoy the convenience of cordless operation at home or on the road. One hour of charging provides up to 50 minutes of shaving time, and a three-minute quick-charge option gives you enough power for a single shave. The two-level battery display lets you know when the battery is full and shows a low-battery warning when it's time to recharge.

This Phillips Norelco Electric Shaver is the best one I have ever used.,

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
My experience with electric shavers prior to this one has been disappointing. I have never been able to find one that gave a close shave. especially around my neck. I am pleased to report that the Phillips Norelco 1160cc/42 SensoTouch 2d Electric Shaver is an exception to this rule. I have been using the shaver for two weeks now and each successive shave has been better than the previous one. I am now able to claim that the shaver shaves as well as a blade but without scraping my skin as blades do, thus my skin is not rough. The shaver is comfortable and, by varying the angle of the shaver, I have been able to get all of my neck shaved as well as my cheeks and chin. The included trimmer is easy to attach and is useful for trimming side burns. Also included with the shaver is a cleaning system which keeps the shaver fit for use. Finally, Phillips offers a solution to the problem of being unable to shave due to the shaver losing its charge; plug the shaver into the recharger for a few...Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I've read review after review complaining about how this won't give a close shave...NEWSFLASH!!! - electric shavers work differently than a manual disposable razor. They don't give as close of a shave, and some people prefer that (as a woman, I might say that some men are more physically attractive like that too, hehe). Anyways, my point is this...don't buy an electric shaver if you want a perfectly smooth 100% stubble-free shave because you aren't going to get it with this razor or any other electric one no matter how much you pay for it.
With that being said, this is a pretty snappy looking electric razor, but performs just like any other forty dollar electric razor as well as your two hundred plus dollar electric razors. My husband has used quite a few electric razors over the years and has found that majority of them shave the same, some just have better features than others and some are less painful...but the end result is always the same. Some pros and cons...Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Electric shavers aren't just for Christmas -- let's face it, almost every home has at least one, and they're terrific and versatile for both men and women alike, when quality products.
But the Philips Norelco 1160XCC (SensoTouch 2D Electric Shaver with Jen Clean System) does go above and beyond whatever electric shaving experiences you've had before.
The shaver itself is sleek and elegant in appearance. (I immediately dubbed mine The Bat-Shaver! It's the Batmobile of electric shavers.) Its cleaning system means that you'll need some counter space to store it conveniently and accessibly, but the system itself is so streamlined and easy that it's entirely worth the effort.
The 1160XCC is easy to set up, and just requires an hour to charge. It comes complete with cleaning solution and extremely easy instructions for quick setup. The shaver itself offers a smooth, flat, rounded head that moves seamlessly over even or uneven surfaces (whether a guy's...Read more
