There are significant improvements on the quality of shaving. The grid (3 actually) is comfortable, but the friction necessary to shaving movement is still irritating. Beware, if you do not have sensitive skin, this should not affect you. I personally prompt neck to redness.
The pros: nice shave, grid more "open" to shave different length, washable under running water! The charge keeps its promises, to see in time. Comes with a travel case.
The -: shaving with shaving soap is not effective, no connection to the razor, but via one of the two sockets (one dedicated to cleaning), so when the battery falter over possible use them live on the sector. And that's a shame. The razor holder is unstable, despite its small suction cups.
If you have a beard or a goat with a particular size (in my case) you can not shave with precision (the grid is set back from the edge of the media, so you shave in the dark. And if you have a cut to the square ("L"), it's impossible, because the grids are round.
The foil unit is very small, shaved very short, but requires a lot of passes to make everything level. However, you can not be injured.
What I think the cleaning block: this is the gadget. I already had it on Braun, and after cleaning, my skin was a reaction. This is especially the gadget, the razor goes under the water!
Would recommend if you do not have sensitive skin, and you do not wear goat or mustache. Otherwise, abstain.
3 stars, because I fell in using this product, despite the real innovations from Philips.
