Effective razor for me (not shave closely), very handy and fairly quiet. It is easy to clean: the grille is removed, once under water, and voila. It can be used in the shower, which I do not appreciate BUT darling can do, once she no longer uses nothing more ... an economy. It charges quickly but attention is unusable when shuttered mains (normal for a razor that goes under water), so I hope that the batteries will hold up over time as I change razor approximately every 10 years .
