Cuts like a blade
I have tried electric razors before and they never came close to a blade. In fact, for the past few years I have been using Feather blades on a Merkur razor, so as blade as you can get, and this razor comes close to that. It beats what I used to get with 3 and 4 blade replacement heads like the Mach series, and being able to use it wet or dry is great. Only had it about 2 weeks and I love it. The Jet Cleaner is really nice too, razor always smells fresh and is ready to go when I want to use it. Highly recommend this set.
The Philips Norelco 1160X/42 SensoTouch Electric Razor with Jet Clean System offers a soft touch and a smooth shave. It uses GyroFlex 2D technology to provide a superior shaving experience, and it includes a Jet Clean system that cleans, lubricates, and charges the razor. Powered by a lithium-ion battery for portable cordless operation, and packed with user-friendly features, the innovative SensoTouch 2D makes shaving a pleasure, not a chore.

GyroFlex 2D Technology for Optimum Comfort and Performance
Designed to handle the contours of your face, SensoTouch utilizes GyroFlex 2D–two-dimensional contouring technology that’s able to pivot in a circular motion and tilt inwards. Its contour-following system adjusts easily to every curve, minimizing both pressure and irritation. The result is a close shave that’s easy on your skin.
Precisely Cuts and Trims Each and Every Hair
SensoTouch delivers a close, comfortable shave with complete overage and accuracy. DualPrecision heads have slots to shave the normal hairs, and holes to shave even the shortest stubble.
The patented Super Lift&Cut dual blade system lifts hairs to cut comfortably below skin level, while the low-friction SkinGlide shaving surface slides smoothly along your skin for a close shave without irritation. There’s also a precision trimmer feature for mustache and sideburn grooming.
Comfortably Shaves–Wet or Dry
SensoTouch lets you shave any way you want. The AquaTec seal gives you the option of either a comfortable dry shave or a refreshing wet shave with shaving cream or gel. No matter which you choose, SensoTouch’s slim, non-slip grip makes for easy handling.
Cordless Convenience
With SensoTouch, you’ll enjoy the convenience of cordless operation at home or on the road. One hour of charging provides up to 50 minutes of shaving time, and a three-minute quick-charge option gives you enough power for a single shave. The two-level battery display lets you know when the battery is full and shows a low-battery warning when it’s time to recharge.
Jet Clean System for Easy Cleaning
The SensoTouch 1160X/42 comes complete with a Jet Clean system that cleans, lubricates, and charges the razor, so it’s ready to go when you are.
Additionally, SensoTouch is designed with a hair collection chamber that helps keep your bathroom sink neat and tidy.
Travel-Friendly Design
An excellent travel companion, the SensoTouch features a travel lock, protective cap, and storage pouch for safe portability. SensoTouch also has a worldwide voltage function that automatically adjusts from 100 volts to 240 volts AC, making it ideal for international trips.
The SensoTouch 1160X/42 is backed by a two-year warranty.

This Phillips Norelco Electric Shaver is the best one I have ever used. 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…
Pretty impressive and effective 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.

An OK electric shaver that is probably overpriced…. 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…
