I can forgive the lack of a charging stand, very minor inconvenience, but this razor runs too slow and I am constantly wincing as it pulls a hair while trying to cut it. I am not using a pre-shave lotion or powder. I have a $20 Remington triple head that does a better job and runs faster but requires a cord.

Worst shaver I’ve ever owned and I’ve been using Norelco’s for 30 years. The above comment says it all, its underpowered. No matter how many passes you take, there’s still stubble.

This shaver is weak and will not shave a heavy beard. The motor runs at slow speed and will pull the hair out of your face even with a new shaver blade. Don’t get this model.

While that particular philips is a great electric shaver… my experience has always lead me to use braun electric shavers.
