Review on πŸͺ’ Turbo+ Mode Philips Norelco Shaver 5550: Rechargeable Wet/Dry Electric Shaver with Precision Trimmer Attachment by Lisa Ortega

Revainrating 3 out of 5

<UPDATED Downgrade> Best shave ever!

<UPDATED Review> A year has passed and the shaver is unusable. Note that in my original review I commented that I didn't like how the shaving head was supposed to be removed for the trimmer. It proved the fall of the razor. A year later, the head no longer holds up permanently and literally falls off several times when shaving. This made it unusable. The problem is not with the shaving head, but with the housing, which can no longer hold the shaving head. Good razor but not worth working for just a year. <Original Review> I really have 2 reactions to this razor: 1. If you use it properly, you get a very close shave. It has rotating heads so you can't shave in the traditional up/down mode. You should run the razor over your skin in a circular motion. I find clockwise works best, but know your beard. Shaving in this circular pattern will make your shave quick and clean. I switched from a safety razor to this one and it's actually closer than my wet shave with a straight razor! 2. I removed the star because there is one negative review - I don't like where the power button is placed. That seems to be the exact place I grab and end up pushing this thing away while I shave. I'll get used to it, but I wish they understood it differently. I can't be the only one doing this. My other comment was that I didn't like the fact that the shaving head had to be removed and replaced with a trimmer and vice versa. I like the other models I've seen where the sideburn trimmer just pops out. However, I knew this was happening and realized I had to live with it!
