    Good Points: 4 minute quick charge (from flat battery, enough for 1 shave).
    you can pop the top of the nivea bottle and refill with aftershave balm (cheaper than the nivea stuff).
    ideal for sensitive skin


    Bad Points: 4hr full charge for 40 mins use.
    replacement conditioner is expensive.
    the robot in the advert did not come with it :-P.


    General comments: Switched from a gillette fusion to an electric razor mainly due to the costs and disappointment i got from getting shaving cuts every time i put on a new blade, electric razors and me never really got on i was given some braun foil type razor which ripped my skin raw, had a £29 phillips rotary that ripped the hair so stayed with the trusted gillette mach 3 for a few years but even then i could only shave every other day due to skin rash and ingrown hairs. I decided to treat myself to an electric razor and took a gamble paying that much money for something i never had much luck with in the past.
    I am pleased to say that the risk was definately worth it as it is very comfortable to use, gives a closer shave than a manual razor and i've managed to shave with it every day since i bought it a week ago though i've had 1 or 2 sore spots where i've had to attempt several passes over an area to get the odd rogue hair but i think it's down to technique and the sore spots went in about 30 mins.
    I WOULD RECOMMEND AS A GIFT FOR THE REGULAR ELECTRIC USER OR IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN LIKE MYSELF OR YOUR MAKING THE CHANGE FROM MANUAL TO ELECTRIC
