I have used rotary shavers in teh past, but was disappointed with the results and the performance - pain with anything more than 2 days growth. This shaver doenst have those issues - provides a smooth shave in most parts of the face, similar to a blade a gel, but with a lot less mess and faster results. The one thing that I would change would be the instructions...they arent clear on how to clean or the point of the lock mechanism at first.[This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

The one thing I would improve is the instructions - they arent that clear on how to clean the shaver, but that is a little thing and easily worked out. It has a nice weight, and simple to use....does exactly what it says on the box!
