Norelco 1290X. Yes, I have been shaving with it for a week. The sad thing is, I think I like it. It is nice traveling with just one piece of gear and the charge lasts for a month. The only downside is, sometimes a little trouble leaving longer hairs on the neck.
Forgive me lord, for I have sinned

I've never shaved with one. Is it as close as a de shave?
How could you!
Just kidding. If it works, then why not. Can it be used wet? May help with the neck problem.

I would equate it to a 1.5 pass with the grain

Yup, but if I take the time to lather up while traveling I would just use a blade.
If it's for the purpose of traveling, then it's a forgivable sin. Still a sin, but a small one. The lord will forgive you.
However, if you Norelco it up on a lazy Saturday morning whilst your DE shaving gear is sitting their longingly waiting to be used, then you may be past the point of forgiveness.

But I came to hate shaving that way. So I switched to wet shaving so many choices its fun now.

As long as it doesn't give you irritation, it's all good.
I used a Braun Series 7 prior to coming to DE shaving for many years. It certainly is convenient but I don't miss it. The shaves weren't very good and it's noisy. To each his own.
I hated shaving with an electric. Never close, neck and face always felt terrible, don't miss it for a second.

No kidding. I tried to learn to love one of those things some years ago. I had the illusion that I could even carry it to touch up before going in to see a customer late in the day. But I couldn't stand it.
I guess it's another case of YMMV.
Yikes that thing is over 2 bills! I've electric shaved a couple different times during my shaving time over 30 years.
