Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just . meh - Foil Shaver

I pre-ordered it before it was released and I was really happy about it. When that day finally came, I was a bit overwhelmed from unpacking. Please note that I did NOT use a razor so this review will not cover how it cuts. Before using it I decided it wasn't what I needed due to the features (or lack thereof) and decided to bring it back. Continue reading. First, it honestly feels a little cheap in the hand. It's mostly made out of hard and light plastic and it seems like it probably won't take a fall very well. The foils are spring-loaded, which is good, but the razor head is fixed and doesn't rotate. it just seems so. The two biggest disadvantages for me were that 1. the razor does not come with a sheath or even a protective cap for the foils. what to do with it The foil is quite thin, I don't want it hanging around in my makeup bag; and 2. I don't like the idea of detaching the shaving head to attach a separate grooming head. Where should I store the grooming head when not in use, especially since there is NO case. It will definitely get lost along the way. There is no spot on the razor where you can attach the grooming head when not in use (i.e. you would think Brown designed a slot or something on the body of the razor for the head to 'snap into' when it is not used). . All of the electric shavers I've used have had a flip-up trimmer, and that's a lot more convenient. I can imagine getting frustrated using this shaver - imagine having to stop the shaver, remove the shaving head assembly, find a separate grooming head, reattach it, turn the shaver back on and then the normal shaving head again attach when you are done shaving. care nozzle. No thank you!
