What I wanted most in electric shavers

Man's review: After the first charge the battery lasted 30 days before needing to be recharged. It has a kickstand that can stay connected to the network, but I left it disabled to see full battery life. The stand will turn off automatically when the battery is fully charged. Shaving: I use foil to shave the mustache and neck area every 1 or 2 days - not the smoothest shave I've had but still keeps my face smooth with no irritation. My old Braun ($300+) shaves a little better but for less price I'm happy with the results - the old one died after 10 years. If I were to shave my entire face clean, I would probably go for the higher quality Braun razors. Haircut: I have a short beard and use the trimmer once or twice a week. The trim function on this one was perfect. Works fast, no stretch. The 4.4mm adjustable nozzle is the perfect length. Gets the job done quickly. It has many attachments for different needs, but I like that I only have one to keep with me; everything else is inline and stays connected. Cleanup is quick and there aren't many places to hide loose hair. I tried a cheap Wahl all-in-one for a while, but the reticle was small, slow, and quite painful - if I didn't shave every time, it took forever. Day. The trimmer worked well, but the battery died very quickly. In general, Norelco coped, but it was not interesting. Very happy with the upgrade to Braun MG5090. The shaver isn't as good as the specialized high-end models, but to get all the features in one device it was worth the deal.
