Rating:  - Wire Falls Out
I agree with a prior reviewer, It won't keep running unless you cement the plug to the razor with silicon rubber. The female plug is just too small for the hole in the razor and just falls off. The coiled wire provided is too short.

The razor is just "OK". It seems to lack power. My old Norelco, which still works by the way, is still running strong.

I decided an electric razor would be the best route to go after I used up my final Gillette blade. It was a good choice. The Philips works almost perfectly, as long as you stretch your skin back (as it says in the directions) so that all hairs can be cut.
The only thing I would have to complain about would be the flip-up blade used for side burns. It doesn't cut quite as close as the regular head, but I decided just to use the regular head of the shaver on all parts of my face. But I just see the flip-up as an "option," not a "must," so it didn't really affect my shaving much.
This razor is much better than my old method, I'll just say that.

My wife bought this for me as a second shaver for when I'm not at home. Man, I'm glad for that, because otherwise she'd see me wincing in pain all the time. It must be because I have really, really coarse facial hair, but this thing is painful! I keep looking at it to see if it's accidentally set to 220V because the blades seem to kind of poke around in lazy circles, and periodically grab a hair and come to a complete stop, right before yanking it out of my face. And what's worse is that if I put off using it for a while, my facial hair just gets longer and more coarse, and it hurts even more.
A hint if you end up in the same situation as me (coarse hair) ... start shaving from the top down on your face, drawing the shaver down s-l-o-w-l-y and with zero pressure on the skin, over the same area several times. Then once it has pretty much done its thing, you can start working from the bottom up to get the strays.
Rating:  - good shaver
My husband says it is a very good shaver but the cord comes out too easily and has to be reconected while shaving.
