This shaver does an excellent job and is much faster than a rotary razor. It holds a charge for over one week too! Much better than Norelcos and Remingtons that I have used. The only drawback is that it is a bit noisy.

Gets close enough, but nothing works better than a razor blade. What I like though is the charge time last for weeks.
