I quote "Now this product will shave you closer than a blade or your money back" wasn't that the claim of Victor Kyam in the 80's well he must have been talking about this shaver. Now having been a wet shave fan for the past twenty five years and after having had some bad experiances with a variety of dry shavers, I thought that the wet razorGillette Mach 3 was the best thing since sliced bread. NOW ALL THAT'S CHANGED.......
Oh look a birthday present from my mother and its a new shaver and considering I have had many a row with my mother when I lived with her over the mess with shaving foam on the mirror she should have known I used a wet shave. Anyway enough of my mothers problems and back to this shaver, I decided that at least I should show willing and give it a go to make her feel better.
The design of the shaver was by the designers of BMW in America and it was sleek and sat well in the palm of the hand. It was very lightweight and had great flexibility. It seemed to ooze sex apeal and I guess that must be the BMW influence but this is actually lost on a guy who drives an MPV with 8 seats...... At least for that split second I had my BMW........
After an overnight charge and with my head a little bit tender from the night before I decided have a headache tablet and try my hand with the shaver. It was to be honest whisper quiet which was a blessing and was very soft on the old whiskers and the outcome was Victor Kyams dream. A Shaver that is as close to a blade so I guess he won't have to give my mother her money back now.

The Bad point. There is no indication as to whether it is fully charged or how much charge is left in the unit but I have seen the higher grade model and it does so that may be a reason why this is the cheaper option. Does that mean that my mother didn't think I was worth the extra couple of pound HA HA HA but to be honest that is just a small fault on an otherwise great shaver.
Having used this for a number of weeks now the charge from the unit last very well between charges and the quality of shave is as good as it was when I first started with it. I do not feel any better or sexier using such a sexy shaver but oh well it didn't say it was the saviour of lost causes.
I would recommend this shaver to anyone providing they bught the Titanium model and not the steel model as I have heard that they do not stay as sharp as this model.
