I had gotten a similar model of this electric shaver from my father , before I drafted to the army in 1996 . It had served me faithfully for six years , without having to replace the battery (!) , until it was time to substitute the shaving heads that finished their life span . During that six years , I believe in 1998 , Norelco introduced the latest development in the field of shaving - the Reflex series - in which each razor was floating in its place to enable the closest shave possible by fitting to the facial contours . Ever since , I waited to get my hands on one of these nice machines , a wait that ended three month ago when I finally bought the Norelco 5811XL (you can check out my Norelco 5811XL review for more details) .

Today , I can honestly say that the Norelco 4681 is a long bygone machine ; I am so satisfied with the 5811's shaving outcome that the time I spent shaving with the 4681 seems like a pre-historic era . I've always had problems shaving my neck and the lower areas of my chin using the 4601 , these problems don't exist anymore with the 5811 . But the comparison between the two is definitely unjust - the 5811 is in another league ; The Reflex mechanism does the difference , and the newer line of instruments is unparalleled to any of its predecessors . other than that , the machines differ mostly in styling , but that single upgrade is everything . . .

I'm aware to the fact that the 5811 has a 50% higher price tag . Nevertheless , in the long run and considering the real improvement in the shaving results , it pays . I would recommend this shaving machine only if you cannot spend the extra 30 bucks right now .

If you are swiching from a blade, it will take a couple weeks to get your skin use to it. Once you do, you'll wonder why it took you so long to switch. This razor leaves you smooth, and you shave dry, so you can touch up a few times a day if needed, with just a mirror.
This razor is staight foward basic and gives a great shave.

This from a statisfied customer and not a paid salesman.

This razor does a good job of shaving and holds a charge for a long time. The haver feels comfortable and is easy to use. The only drawback is that you can't shave while it is recharging.

I have used electric razors for years and am very satisfied with the performance of this razor. It is the first rotary style I have used, shaving has been much easier than the straight models I am used to. An added bonus is the pop-up trimmer which works great on my mustache - I put away the sissors. This razor is light-weight and comfortable. It has been almost 4 weeks now and I am still on the first charge.

This is a great razor. I bought it for my boyfriend because he hates to shave and he loves it! It gives the same clean shave as a blade but with none of the hassle, effort, or time.
