So, what you are saying is you were cheating during the 30 day acclimation period?I could never get a decent shave with an electric. Norelco says it takes 30 days for your face to adjust to their razors, but I could never make it that long. After shaving with the electric, I was still doing touch up with a blade. The wife bought me one for Christmas several years ago, but I passed it along without even opening it.
