After my last Braun after transfer from shaving head and shaving foil (outrageously expensive!) Still did not work properly and my wife hat complained about the lack of shaving action, I purchased this model (incidentally, the same price as Replacement head and leaf in which Brown).
So much in advance: The shaving action is so much better than that of any previous devices! It must be refined on the shaving head and the shear blades. The cut much more precise and fine, and irritate the skin barely. Aftershave is no longer necessary. I am absolutely thrilled and immediately a fan of Panasonic brand. And defying battery, because so far nothing came into the house battery shaver me.
Also, the long-hair trimmer is indeed smaller than in my previous devices, but works better.
The battery lasts - as indicated - about 7 days. The shaver is getting slower and then the juice is suddenly gone. Since this is apparently dealing here with a basic model, there is no level indication. Recharging takes 8 hours. I can live with, and I really appreciate the benefits of a battery shaver thoroughly.
The razor I use now for 2 months and am now just thrilled! I intend to post my long-term experience.
Conclusion: So far an excellent razor with excellent shear. Finally a perfect shave!
