Comment:
I had to replace the foil already after a hole wore in it and now the new head will not stay in place. It keeps popping off the razor and must be held in place to use. This is a terribly designed razor and not worth the money. You get no satisfaction from the manufacturer when you contact them either.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
Recently got tired of blade razors and picked up this recommended model for [$]. Being a Sunday, I had 2 days growth. This razor preformed well, giving almost as close a shave as a blade. A few stray hairs were missed which required several passes. Overall, a close and comfortable shave with very little irritation considering this was my first electirc shave in a long time. Very good performance for the price.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
