WOW, I am speechless. But since that is not a good thing when writing a review, I will try to be verbose instead.

I have very sensitive skin and because of this, shaving has always been a real chore. Even with the best manual razors from Gillette, the Mach 3 or even the Schick Protector and FX (both tripled bladed also), I could never achieve a close confortable shave. A couple of years ago I decided to give up the blade and try an electric razor. I did all my research and at that time, at least via Consumers Guides, EPINIONS, and other web sites the top of the line Panasonic got top reviews. So I bought one. Boy what a mistake that was for me. It never gave me a close shave and after about 18 months, of use, I had to repace the blade and foil which was about 50% of the cost and this lead me to my new NORELCO Advantage.

Wow, What a difference! The instructions stated it would take 3 weeks for the hair on my face to get trained to the Norelco method, but not in my case. My first shave was PERFECT...Even those hard to reach places; like under your lips or below the adam's apple came out hairless. I could never achieve results like this with the other razors, blade or electric. And although some might think that having the built in preshave is a gimmick, I like it, it is one less thing to pack when you are traveling, and its there in a pinch, without loosing your shaving momentum. And since I never plan on growing a beard or mustache, the multi beard controls of the other Norelcos did not appeal to me. So guys, if you have any fathers day money left over, I highly suggest giving your face a break and trying one.

I'll rate this 4 stars because nothing is perfect. I have tried various electric razors and generally I am left unsatisfied. Then about a year ago I came across the Norelco 6735 Advantage razor and I am happy to report that I have found the closest thing to a perfect electric razor. The Norelco does very well with daily shaves but doesn't do well against multiple day growth. If I go more than a day without shaving, I'll use a blade to get the close shave. I don't know anything about the mirror since that was not available when I made my original purchase but the razor itself is very good. After 1 year's use, I am still using the same blades that originally came with the razor and it is still shaving as close as when I purchased it. The gels are good though I feel they are somewhat expensive. I will be purchasing 3 more of these razors for my 3 sons this Christmas and believe me, if I wasn't satisified with this razor, that wouldn't be happening.

The Norelco 6735XB Advantage Rechargeable Cordless Wet / Dry Shaving System was in my GoldBox, so it was REAL hard to pass up. I did not have real high hopes for the razor because of the Mach III. I have to admit, it is a great razor for everyday shaving. You can use it in the shower and the mirror that comes with it is awesome! You just stick it on the shower wall and your set. The "goo" that comes out does a good job for moving the razor around. You get a close shave, but it's not as close as a blade. Also you don't want to use this thing if you have not shaved for more than two days. It's worth the money and it's great to keep in the shower. My best suggestion is to use it only in the shower. If you have time and money, use the Mach III. You will get a closer, more comfortable shave. I think it is a good complement to the Mach III.

I shave my head, and don't like using a razor blade. Though I've been using a fairly new Norelco shaver, the model 7866XL, it wasn't leaving my head quite smooth enough. When I read about this shaver that works wet or dry and dispenses shaving gel, I thought I might as well give it a try. I like the results; it cuts more closely and finally gives me the look I want. The "steam-free" mirror is a joke though. I put it up in the shower and it immediately clouded up. It is useless.

I've used the razor for over a year now. And while I'm pleased with it's over all shave I find the Shaving gel gives a smoother less irrating shave than the lotion. The only problem is no stores in my area carry the gel.

I have a tough beard and have used a blade my whole life. I was skeptical that an electric could give as close a shave as a blade. I was wrong. This razor gives a closer shave than my Mach III. I also like the fog free shower mirror. Clean up is a snap. I just rinse it after each use. I have no complaints whatsoever.

I'e got very sensitive skin, prone to ingrown whiskers. I've tried electric razors a few times, but always returned to a blade. The Norelco Advantage is the greatest way to shave I've ever seen. Give it the three weeks the manufacturer suggests, and you won't go back to a blade!

I've been using an older micro-action Norelco Electric 3 head shaver for the last 5 years. It has been good to me; I spent several years in Europe with it and another few in the States, and I've loved it. I also use the Mach 3 on occasion, when I needed a very close shave.

I just bought the 6735XB and am immensely impressed by the close comfortable shave, even on the very first use. I now get the closeness of a Mach 3 shave every morning without the inevitable nicks and cuts. I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you Norelco! A highly recommended buy if you have sensitive skin like mine, and where your 5 o'clock shadow shows up around 3:30.

I had my doubts about an electric wet shave, but this razor gives me the closest shave I've ever had. Being able to use it in the shower makes shaving so much easier!

First off let me start off by saying that like most 17 year old males, I have very sensitive skin. Before buying the Norelco Advantage, I could not find a simple solution to getting a nice quick shave without all the hassle that comes along with it. I did not really have a problem at the time, with the length of time that shaving took, but rather, the razor-burn afterwards. I went through about 10-12 different types of creams, and 6-7 different razors, trying to find the right combination. It wasn't until a good friend of mine recommended this, that I decided to try an electric razor. The Norelco definately lived up to it's reputation, as one of the best electric razors out there. Two things that stuck out about it was that you could get a good clean shave in hardly any time at all, and in my case, the gel worked wonders on my previous razor burn.

Now, there are however a few things that could have been improved on. None of these however seriously demote the quality of this razor. The first thing that I noticed is that it is not good with multiple day stubble. If I go for a few days without shaving, I end up having to switch to the beard trimmer, and then back again to the regular blade, in order to get a good shave. This can get quite tedious and annoying in a hurry. Another thing that I noticed is that the blades tend to gunk up quite easily making cleaning almost a weekly thing. The last thing is that unless at full charge, the blades tend miss some of the longer hairs.

All around this is a great product for those of you out there who are looking for a nice quick close shave. Dollar for dollar this is one of the better products that I have bought, but I look foward to seeing an upgrade on this Electric.
