Pros
Materials and build quality
Shaving experience – It feels so much better on the my face compared to simple shaving machines. I strongly recommend you to try a simple shaver and an expensive shaver to be able to realize the difference.
USB charging – I was glad to get rid of my previous shaver which required a power brick. Charging using a USB cable makes so much sense.
Waterproof – As can be seen in my video, you can use this shaver under running water. It helps me to clean it fast and easily, and the shaver keeps working perfectly.
Cons
Large size – It is bigger compared to my previous (yet simpler) shaver.
Overall price – This is not a cheap model. I am not saying it expensive or isn’t worth the pay, but there are other shavers that will do the job for less money. If you do consider buying it, then it would be best to get it when it is on sale.
