According to my husband, an electric razor will ever replace a manual razor. Like it or not, he still tested this razor Braun, light, nice looking and incredibly easy to use. In the shower: he bitched saying "I do not know what got into you to want me to shave in the shower." In short, he tried but the result was not conclusive. The day after the shower and lather: "Yeah, not bad ..." (which in their language means "it is"). And I confirm that it was not all bad ... uh, that was good. Two days later, dry: "No, no, no ... give me my manual razor" (basically, he was not happy-happy). Apart from that, I would say it lacks a razor cover, it is a bit noisy and it is not super effective at the chin. The "plus": the good handling and time correct battery. (ServaneL.)
