Amazing!Such a fast speed,From USA to China,only use seven day and the protection is very good and safe.For the shaver,clean well to the sort stubble, but use more time to cut long hairs.and a little noisy,other well.
I bought this for myself this Christmas past as somewhat of an impulse buy, and it's probably one of the best impulse buys I have made. This shaver has just amazed me, better than any electric or blades that I have used in the past. They advised a 3 week break in period to get your skin accustomed to this razor but from the first shave I did not have any rash or discomfort just a smooth extremely close shave. Evidently it just gets better from here. I have a fairly light beard with fine hairs plus my skin is not overly sensitive so some one else might get different results than I did.
Although I am not an Electric Razor expert as some of the other reviewers seem to be, however I do know when I have had a smooth, comfortable, close shave. I have not used an electric razor for over 30 years, never did care for them. Back then I used a straight blade electric Remington which I definitely did not care for and a Norelco which was good but not great in those days.
Until receiving this Norelco I was using the Schick Quattro Razor. It's a good blade razor with 4 titanium blades. It shaved quite well on the straight away's, but around the curves and my neck area " where I have hairs going in 3 different directions " it did not do well. I had to go over and over again in different directions to get all the hairs. I also have a clef chin which made it difficult for most other razors to shave properly. This Norelco worked great in all areas for me, plus got all those difficult neck and chin hairs with ease. Just started running the razor around the back of my neck when I shave. It's easy to reach and seems to do a good job of getting the pesky, unsightly hair that grows there. These are the ones that make it look as though you should be getting a haircut way before you really need one.
As far as the trimmer goes, I have no problem with clicking in the separate trimmer blade maybe every week or so since that is all I will probably be using it. I used it to trim the bottom of my mustache and sideburns and it worked extremely well.
This razor is quiet almost seems as though it's not running fast enough to do the job, but it does. It's easy to clean by opening it up and running it under hot water.
All and all this is a great razor the best I have used;::: EVER.
I shave my face and head everyday. I have done this for MANY years. If you look back at some of my previous reviews, you'll see I've tried most things out there for shaving. Just off the top of my head I have used Atra, Sensor, Tracer, Headblade, Mach 3 , Proglide, Hydro5 and yes even Bic and "Good News" razors. I have also used Braun, Norelco and Panasonic electrics. One can get a pretty good shave out of most items out there.
I usually use a blade during the winter months and an electric during the summer months....no real reason other than I like variety, and in the summer I water my lawn so I don't want to use as much water in the shower or shaving. We can make electricty, but we can't make more water. :-). When I am in blade shave mode the Schick Hydro5 is my tool of choice, best blade hands down for me, however this new Norelco 1150x/40 is going to have me using it more than I ever thought possible.
Just so you know, I have used the following electric razors:
Norelco 4401LC, 7145XL--Overall I am a Norelco fan. They work well for my daily routine and work fast. My 4401LC is a 20 yr old corded model that still does a very nice job/close shave, with HQ4 heads, but I have to be gentle or I'll get razor burn on my neck.
Panasonic EA-SA40, ES7037 and ES 7103---Panny makes really, really nice razors. Great wet/dry use. With the amount/type of surface area I have to cover, the rotary seems to be a better fit for my shaving routine. The newer Panasonic do have larger cutting surfaces that I may have to try someday.
Braun Syncho5, 1-150-----Braun just DOES NOT work for my beard and head. Gives me the worst shave ever. Missed hairs everywhere, cheeks, neck, razor burn, you name it. I will never buy another Braun. These two shavers could not handle a stoud beard or the "workload" a heavy shaver like me demands.
FYI--I also brush out my shaving heads every week no matter what shaver I use. It makes the heads last much longer.
I like electric shavers because they don't cause bumps at the base of the back of my neck like blade shaving does. I also like to shave on the go. I prefer a wet/dry razor because just being able to rinse it out everyday is my preferred (and most cost effective) cleaning method.
Okay, so I get my new 1150. First impression was, oh wow it looks amazing!!!!! 100% wow factor there. The base is fantastic, I love it! No tossing this razor in a drawer or cabinet. Having a lithium battery is a big plus as well! AND MADE IN THE NETHERLANDS, not China! COOL!
Um wait a minute, the Series 8 heads look JUST LIKE my 7145XL! Is this really an upgrade? Also, the head base seems to flex the same as my 7145...heck this may not be much of a difference of a shave. Well, wait, now the 1150x has this new neck pivot device. Hmmmm. This razor was charged when it arrived and I had some stubble so, HERE IS THE IMPORTANT PART-- I gave it a test run. For some reason with my beard, I only get average results with a dry shave and this razor was no different. RIght side of face, dry shave eh, okay....but my preshave of choice is Afta Pre-Electric (better than Lectric Shave or Face-Saver for me), and on the left side of my face with the Afta...WOW, nano-near as close as a blade!!!!! So put some Afta on my scalp...holy moley, this 1150 contours my scalp/and head like no other razor or blade I have ever used!!! SO CLOSE and SO COMFORTABLE! Also ZERO razor burn on my neck!
No matter how soft or how hard you push, I did not get burn, the "cushion" in the floating heads adjusted for a great shave over all surfaces! After using this shaver, I then took a blade and went over the same spots to see if I could get any closer.....not really. Using the circular pattern (with and against the grain) with this or any Norelco shaver really gives on a close shave. I have used the 1150x for a while, my shave time is getting less and less, and it is very apparent, this is a big step up in comfort and overall shaving experience.
---September 2011....I see some folks have gotten this razor for @ $50!!! What a deal on a great razor. This razor is still performing very well. I use it mainly on my face but have also used it on my head. I found that on my face, using Afta preshave makes a nice shave even better. Lectric shave also works very very well. I tried the Remington shave stick which produced a really nice shave, but gosh the residual powder gummed up the razor. I have to say this is still the best electric I have ever used. Close shave,no neck irritation which has always been a big issue for me with other products. I clean the heads by taking it apart and just running the heads under water. They are still sharp and performing well.
--- Dec 2014 No other electric I have ever owned is as smooth as this, but my current fave electric shaver is the Remongton F5. 5800.
