22 of 22 people found the following review helpful This Phillips Norelco Electric Shaver is the best one I have ever used., September 10, 2010 By  Patrick Regan "Patrick Regan" (Northampton, MA USA) - See all my reviews       This review is from: Philips Norelco SensoTouch 2D Electric Razor with Jet Clean 1160X/42 (Health and Beauty) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?) My experience with electric shavers prior to this one has been disappointing. I have never been able to find one that gave a close shave. especially around my neck. I am pleased to report that the Phillips Norelco 1160cc/42 SensoTouch 2d Electric Shaver is an exception to this rule. I have been using the shaver for two weeks now and each successive shave has been better than the previous one. I am now able to claim that the shaver shaves as well as a blade but without scraping my skin as blades do, thus my skin is not rough. The shaver is comfortable and, by varying the angle of the shaver, I have been able to get all of my neck shaved as well as my cheeks and chin. The included trimmer is easy to attach and is useful for trimming side burns. Also included with the shaver is a cleaning system which keeps the shaver fit for use. Finally, Phillips offers a solution to the problem of being unable to shave due to the shaver losing its charge; plug the shaver into the recharger for a few...

Pretty impressive and effective, October 21, 2010

This review is from: Philips Norelco SensoTouch 2D Electric Razor with Jet Clean 1160X/42 (Health and Beauty)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)

Electric shavers aren't just for Christmas -- let's face it, almost every home has at least one, and they're terrific and versatile for both men and women alike, when quality products.

But the Philips Norelco 1160XCC (SensoTouch 2D Electric Shaver with Jen Clean System) does go above and beyond whatever electric shaving experiences you've had before.

The shaver itself is sleek and elegant in appearance. (I immediately dubbed mine The Bat-Shaver! It's the Batmobile of electric shavers.) Its cleaning system means that you'll need some counter space to store it conveniently and accessibly, but the system itself is so streamlined and easy that it's entirely worth the effort.

The 1160XCC is easy to set up, and just requires an hour to charge. It comes complete with cleaning solution and extremely easy instructions for quick setup. The shaver itself offers a smooth, flat, rounded head that moves seamlessly over even or uneven surfaces (whether a guy's... Read more

An OK electric shaver that is probably overpriced...., November 18, 2010

This review is from: Philips Norelco SensoTouch 2D Electric Razor with Jet Clean 1160X/42 (Health and Beauty)

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)

I've read review after review complaining about how this won't give a close shave...NEWSFLASH!!! - electric shavers work differently than a manual disposable razor. They don't give as close of a shave, and some people prefer that (as a woman, I might say that some men are more physically attractive like that too, hehe). Anyways, my point is this...don't buy an electric shaver if you want a perfectly smooth 100% stubble-free shave because you aren't going to get it with this razor or any other electric one no matter how much you pay for it.

With that being said, this is a pretty snappy looking electric razor, but performs just like any other forty dollar electric razor as well as your two hundred plus dollar electric razors. My husband has used quite a few electric razors over the years and has found that majority of them shave the same, some just have better features than others and some are less painful...but the end result is always the same. Some pros and cons... Read more

This review is from: Braun Series 5 590cc Electric Shaver (Health and Beauty) It took me awhile to decide on this Braun after all I've never paid this much for a shaver. However, I had a problem getting parts for my old Remington so decided to bite the bullet. The unit arrived nicely boxed with a semi-hard black zippered travel case which is not mentioned in the literature. It uses the same power cord for rechargeable and corded operation. The shaver feels comfortable and solid in the hand and looks nice. I like the trimmer and flexible head. I find setting the sensitivity of the head to medium works best especially in the neck area. When not in use, the shaver sits in the cleaning station which also acts as a charger. At night, the cleaning station gives off a small blue light which is nice should you have to find the unit without turning on the lights. I've had the unit a few weeks and so far, I love it. Why? Because it's quiet (compared to my old Remington), and gives me smooth, dry close shaves. For my face and skin, it's pretty close to a...

Beware: No "OptiFoil" Replacement Heads, No Drying In Cleaning Unit, November 23, 2010

By 

Mark L. "Markle" (Agoura Hills, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)

This review is from: Braun Series 5 590cc Electric Shaver (Health and Beauty)

Over six years ago, I wrote a rave review of Braun's Activator shaver here at Amazon. That review is still available at my profile page. I'm sorry to say that I can't repeat my enthusiasm this time for this Series 5 590cc shaver. Braun is cheapening its products, though not its prices.

First, I will say something positive. This shaver, with a new "OptiFoil" head, gives a very good shave. It's at least as good as the Activator with the "SmartFoil," though I can't say it's noticeably better. I think it IS better than the different cutter block in the 360 Complete series, which came between the Activator and the Series 5.

Also, the tapered, contoured shape of the new shavers is a definite improvement over the shapeless bricks that the older models were. The angled head makes it uncertain at first if you're holding it at the right angle to your skin, but it doesn't take long to adjust.

But there are two really serious problems with this shaver (and... Read more

Great shave, but a few flaws, May 6, 2009

By 

Tom C (Irvine, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)

This review is from: Braun Series 5 590cc Electric Shaver (Health and Beauty)

I've been a Braun guy since I started shaving, so this is my 4th or 5th one. After my last one, which was a low-end disappointment, this one is great -- as smooth of a shave as I believe you can get from an electric. Another plus is that this shaver is made in Germany, not China like their low-end ones, and although a little pricey, after a $50 promo certificate, it essentially put the price within reason.

My only negative comments, after owning the razor for about two weeks, is that the clean-and-renew system is a little gimmicky. Not the system itself so much, which works great, but two things about the system:

* The cleaning base is essentially a really cheap looking injection-molded piece of plastic. It gets the job done, but I think the designers could have done a better job of fabricating a base that was a little more in fitting with the price/look of the razor itself.

* As others have said, the clean and renew fluid is kind of a ripoff -- if you... Read more
