5.0 out of 5 stars
I'm surprised, I was expecting to send it back. . ., March 8, 2006
But now I'm not, for sure. I have tough skin, so shaving with a razor never left cuts for me. But it was a mixed blessing, because shaving with a razor, indeed, caused a rather bad acne problem until I switched to waxing for almost two years.
Waxing was great, but a pain to preform -- So I finally decided to spend my birthday money on an electric razor. All my friends insisted I'd regret it, and that they don't work. The whole usual spiel about getting a rash, and just wasting my money. But being the stubborn person I am, I had to find out for myself.
As usual, my friends were full of it.
First of all, not only do I not get acne with an electric razor, *but* I never got any rashes or irriation, even during the first week I used it. I have dark, black facial hair, that is somewhat thinned out due to the waxing. But they're also hard and 'fine'.
The electric, no, isn't literally as close as a true hand razor. But it's close enough for the conveniance -- It's quicker than a blade for me, and easier since I don't have to sit there digging hairs out of the blades so I could continue shaving.
I run it under warm water when I shave. For the lotion, it's great, but I have to be honest -- I barely use it. I use a pea-sized drop for each side of my face, and then the rest of the experience is all warm water. It works great, though, and I have no complaints. Not to mention that I've been using one lotion pouch for *weeks* now... But I guess I should mention I only need to shave every 2-3 days, not every day. A little stubble never hurt anyone. (And being a musician, I don't have to worry about leaving a good impression on office types.)
Overall I'm surprisingly satisfied. I also admittedly chose this one because it's an awesome green. My only REAL complaint is that, considering the nature of this razor, I can't shave between for my eyebrows. So for this, I've now gotten into the routine of tweezing, if only to avoid the putrid unibrow.

I always come back to Norelco., December 13, 2005
this time I sticking to Norelco! I've had the Remington shavers but didn't use them for very long. I've used Norelco longer and a blade sometimes, but this particular "Cool Skin" shaver is great! I think the green color makes it look cool too. I have an older "Advantage" that I have used and liked it very much. The "R" brand shavers are loud and vibrate too much. I let my beard go for 3 days and the "R" shaver didn't even get all of it even with a preshave lotion. I did the same with the Norelco and with the lotion it got it all the first time! Price and features are great. I will probably give my old Norelco to someone, or just keep it for old time sake. :) I'll put the 2 "R" shavers out to pasture. This new one works great in the shower too. I've even used shaving cream with it, but the lotion is better. I think it would be nice if the lotion came in a bottle. The cartriges work great too. Great for travel. Buy this shaver and you'll like it a lot.

Cool Shavings!, August 27, 2006
I used to use a Braun Flex shaver and had been disappointed with the shave I received. I had been wanting to try the new Norelco-Phillips shaver for some time, but felt since I had paid so much for the Braun, I would wait until I got my money's worth from it. Then when I ran across the deal from Amazon, I purchased the Norelco-Phillips and have been satisfied with the shaving experience ever since.
