I can't fault this shaver. I've owned it for a few weeks now and can honestly say it's the best shaver I've used. Was sceptical at first as not used a foil shaver since my teens. Previously owned the Philips i7000 and the Braun excels it in every way. Closeness of the shave is excellent and takes half the time. Battery life is excellent. Very pleased with my purchase and got it at a great price.
