Comment:
This razor replaced a Norelco I'd had for about four years. The new one (8240) is so much better than I've ever had. It does a wonderful job of getting my face smooth and there is no irritation. I don't need to use a pre-shave lotion. I have no negatives about this razor. I bought it from[@] for a total of [$] delivered.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
