Advantages: quiet, good grip, easy to manouver, carries a charge well
Disadvantages: not as close a shave as a manual
After a couple of months using this shaver i feel compelled to give it a five star rating due to the wide range of features it has. It retails for about £49.99 and is well worth the money.
Using the razor -
It has three oscilating razor heads which really help to fit the contors of your face in difficult areas like the jaw, providing a much more precise shave than most electric razors. This is strictly a dry shave razor however, so for those with sensitive skin like me it's recommended that you buy some soothing balm for after shaving. It also has an inbuilt sideburn trimmer which i find really helps when you have longer hair and don't want to get it caught in the blades. The grip is very good due to the soft rubbery material on the back, making it easy to hold when manouvering it. As far as noise goes it's much quieter than other electric razors, making more of a hum than a buzz.
I do not think this razor gives as close a shave as a manual, however it is certainly more easy to use without injuring yourself.
Charging the razor -
The charge time to get about 30 mins of use (its full capacity) is around 8 hours. The plug that is charges with is a two pin so it's advised that you buy an adaptor to use it in british plug sockets.
Cleaning the razor -
It is possible to remove the razor heads and clean out the compartment containing shavings. I personally do this about once a week and it takes around 3 minutes to do with the small brush that's provided when you buy it.
Overall i think the razor works like a dream and would definately reccomend purchasing it.
Summary: definately worth purchasing for a smooth clean shave
