I bought a Wahl shaver for my husband back in 1997 after listening to Paul Harvey on the radio talk about how it was such a great shaver. My husband loved the first one because of it slide up trimmer. I’ve since bought a few different shavers, but haven’t been able to find another one with the pop-up trimmer. So. When I ran across this one, it had everything he liked in a shaver and decided to get it for his Christmas gift. Last week he told me how happy he was with it. He told me he liked that it was water resistant though he would likely seldom use it that way. He has Rhumatoid arthritis and says that he really likes how easy it is to hold it in his hands. He says it’s very comfortable and gave him a nice close shave with no stubble. He likes to shave dry and says that his face is nice and smooth and has no problem with razor burn. It’s very effective. And he really likes this one better than the last couple ones I’ve bought in the past several years. I would have to say that considering the price, we definitely got a great value for our money.

A little difficult to square off sideburn with left hand

Good quality razor. The shave could be a little closer , but for the money , it's a good quality razor

This is my third identical shaver over past 20+ years and the only one I have found that works well for me and I’ve tried many. It works so well that my dad bought one and loves it as well.

In comparison to other electric shavers (2 that were between $250 & $300) that are supposedly the best, this one by far is a better product. The only noticeable difference is the plastic feels a little cheap compared to other sturdier shavers. The cost alone had me wanting to buy another just to store away for when my original no longer works. I can't attest to the durability of this product yet but so far it shaves perfectly and effectively. With every electric shaver I've had there has been some difficulty getting rid of the hairs on my neck including this one but I'll use the pop up trimmer and then a safety razor afterwards. Again, with the price of this compared to the Br••• shavers I had, this one didn't pull hairs out (what an uncomfortable feeling that is), gives an amazing shave and is a quarter of the price. Try it out. I look for things that work perfectly so I don't have to continue to search, I've found a perfect electric shaver.****UPDATE****One year later, well almost, the foil has broken on me for the SECOND TIME. It seems the cutter block had caught the foil and made a tiny gouge in it deeming the shaver practically useless unless you want to rip hairs from your face. The first time was about 4 months ago. I called WAHL directly and spoke to a very helpful representative who was willing to and did send me a replacement foil for free within a couple of days. Although she tried to blame me by saying I pressed too hard on my face with the shaver, I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case. Especially nowTthat it's happened for a second time. I'll call again and see what they say but it's now becoming a little bit of an inconvenience. I guess the fact remains that you get what you pay for. Now I'm back on Amazon researching electric shavers again.....

UPDATE: I've only had this shaver for 5 months, and already, it's DEAD!! Won't turn on or recharge. DEAD! Shame on you, Whal for more crappy chinese JUNK. Was doing great, just getting ready for a replacement cutter set when it just died. A $48 piece of chinese JUNK!! DONT BUT THIS CRAP!!Original review now rescinded:I'm comparing this shaver to a Braun Series 3 and Series 5. The Series 5 is a piece of junk and not worth the money. I bring it into this review because this Wahl shaver has many of the same features. The Braun Series 3 is a great shaver, but with a NiMh battery, it doesn't last all that well. This Wahl has a Li-ion battery that lasts about 2 weeks of shaving. It's easy to clean in the shower, and the sideburn trimmer is really good...much better than the Braun. The replacement cutters are about the same price on Amazon as the Braun, but I have not needed one yet. The Wahl seems to be staying sharp much longer than the Brauns do. This Wahl also has the "floating" shave head like the Braun Series 5. It really doesn't do all that much, but I can certainly tell the difference from the Series 3. I would definitely recommend this shaver if you're into shaving in the shower like I am. I've been doing it for years, and I have to say, this is the best experience yet!! A side hint...you can keep the cutters a little sharper by putting some 3-in-1 oil that has the Teflon in it, on the cutters and letting the shaver run for about 5-minutes before you charge it up each time. I've done this for years, too, and the cutters stay sharp and last much longer!

Great razor it is now.

I came close to buying a much more expensive electric razor, but opted for the very reasonably priced Wahl, and couldn't be happier.
