 glad i ignored negative reviews Apr 04, 2005
By mortgage guy
"mortgage guy"
bought it off ebay for $50 new. yes, it does take a little while to get used to---there's a good chance you will feel a little irritation at first-probably on your neck. But let me tell you something: this thing shaves a gazzilion times faster than my Braun did. I used to dread shaving, especially if i missed 2 or 3 days. This shaver is a breeze to use. I use the self-clean once a week so far. If you've ever used a Norelco, you know what a collassal pain in the butt it is to keep it clean. And it never seems to stay clean. This system is such a breath of fresh air. just push the clean button, and you're done.
p.s. I almost wonder if some of the horrific revues were written by the competition. seriously.

 You mignt want to keep your Norelco Dec 31, 2003
By Dogfather
I've been a Norelco man for almost 35 years but decided to give the Titanium a try. The Titanium intrigued me with its "Turbo Cleaner". My Norelco always seems something less than sparkly clean despite my best efforts to clean it. Well, the Turbo Cleaner is nice and gives the bathroom a light "barber shop" scent which seems attractive to the wife. This is a plus I hadn't expected. It appears to keep the Titanium exceptionally clean. The Titanium and the Norelco are remarkably similar with the Titanium being almost $100 less... another big plus. Then I decided to do that stupid TV type test with shaving half of my face with the Titanium and the other half with my old Norelco (the heads are almost a year old). The Norelco simply gives a closer shave. I think so, and the wife thinks so. I didn't even tell her which side of my face I shaved with the Norelco. There is not a horrible difference but it is still one you can feel. I even waited an hour in case the lift and cut Norelco system caused some kind of swelling.
Bottom line is that the Norelco gives a closer shave. I wish it had a Turbo Cleaning system. The Titanium is still a good value however and seems like a solid shaver. I had to give it 4 starts since it seems like a quality product for the money but that lift and cut system by Norelco gives me what I want most, a close shave.

Great razor ! Dec 08, 2003
This is a great razor...easily the best shave I have ever had.
I had a Norelco, but this is a much better shave, and very solidly built. I love the self-cleaning feature.

OK so far! Jul 09, 2004
I bought this razor about a month ago. I have used Norelcos for years but I get tired of replacing blades and stripping the razor down to really get it clean. I find that I open and blow out the head after every shave and use the self cleaner every 4-5 shaves. I feared having to hunt for the cleaning solution so I bought a refill when I purchased the razor at Walmart. If you are looking for the solution, try your local Walmart.I find that I must use a pre-shave with this razor or I get razor burn from it. I have a tough beard and this razor handles it fine with the shave lasting at least 10 hours. (I used to have to shave twice a day with the Norelco too) All of these rotary razors are tough to find replacement blades for when you need them, so I guess I'll find out if the "self sharpening" feature really works and if these last longer. I find the cleaner works very well but it is noisey as the razor runs for a portion of the 15-25 mins cycle. Depending on your bathroom setup, this might be a problem for other members of your family. I haven't run out of the original fluid yet so I can't comment on how long it lasts. I do like the carrying case as it actually has room for the power cord in case you are gone long enough to need to recharge the shaver. Cleaning stand is not portable.

An outstanding shaver Feb 29, 2004
This is by far the best electric shaver I have ever used. If you use it as directed (not pressing it too hard into your skin), there is no way it can cut you or even irritate. I have sensitive skin, yet I can use this without any pre-shave products. The self-cleaning feature is outstanding as well. The shave I get is also much closer than with any other electric shaver I ever used-- I used to avoid electric shavers because they always left me with stubble; this one doesn't. If you're looking for a premium shaver, get this one.
