Expensive But Worth It
I shave in the shower (Toilet Tree lighted mirror from Amazon) and love this razor. Ridiculously expensive? Yes. But if I’m going to scrape my face with a piece of sharp steel every morning, I want the best experience possible. I get good shave cream (Art of Shaving, Aveda, Cremo, RS) and use this razor. I have not had the reliability problems others seem to mention. My razors (I have one at home and one in my travel kit) have functioned flawlessly for a few years now. The high level of moisture in your beard from being in the shower makes for a much closer and easier shave. The light in the razor helps illuminate the different planes of your face, particularly around your nose and ears. This helps avoid that “Oh, I missed a spot” experience.

If you can’t get the battery out – and I found it impossible – then the razor effectively becomes an ordinary non-power razor and the battery will eventually leak. By the way, two people with a pair of pliers and plenty of WD40 were…
I had one of these power razers but the button which turns it on broke so I decided to purchase another one. This one arrived but when I opened the package, the battery was long past the expiry date (expiry date was November 2011) . To make matters worse, the battery had already started to disintegrate, and I had to clean up the mess in the package. This package was obviously at least 3 years old, and probably much older. And to make matters worse, the razor doesn’t seem to have a good…
