Is the brake as good as the previous razor models?

I ride the scooter. The brake in durability i believe (if installed properly) is better then many other razors. I Reccomend buying the scooter from Walmart. Also, this scooter can take a hefty beating, because the black label razor series was made for tricks and stunts.

I don't ride it, but my son has no issues with this Razor. He has rode others in the past. Seems to be good quality higher-end model.

I switched to this FROM the Braun. The self-cleaning system seemed nice but it's kind of like having a subscription to your own razor, as you have to keep buying the cleaning solution. This one being a wet/dry razor, allowing me to rinse it off in the sink, makes cleaning it easy enough that I don't miss the self-cleaning Braun I had. The shave itself is very similar in closeness, though I find this Panasonic deals better with longer hairs (e.g., weekend without shaving).

It's a terrible razor. I should learn. If the price is too good to be true, most likely it's junk. It's junk. Spend a little more and get a good one.

Yes, to compare its less reponsive than the turbo bee, viper,or tigershark. But more responsive than the ooch, or the glide.its not good for non responsive tricks like kwijibo or plastic whip.

I have not used my razor in the shower, but I can tell you that of all the electric razors I have used in the past this razor is virtually irritation free, and I am picky about that. Beyond that, it is the nearest thing to a blade razor shave that I have ever experienced. For the money, I don't think it can be beat.

It's not a knock off. But this is an extreme razor. Get the Vision instead. It's their best razor and is more adjustable.

I really don't know. It does a decent job on my face. I can tell you that the 7 series Braun gives a much closer shave than the series 3 though.

I plan on buying whatever razor I like and modifying its handle if need be with some duck tape (a few or many turns to make it fatter and stick in there securely). I wouldn't worry too much about getting something "compatible" if you are a fix-it type. Also, such surely beats paying 72 bucks for their "warhammer" model which seems about as effective at everything as this one.

I have only tried it with dual bladed razors so far. It has saved me tons of $$$.

I've never owned a razor before, but from looking at other reviewers the deck is wider than the earlier versions. More like a skinny skateboard. I'm 5'4'' and wear a size 8 W shoe, and I can comfortably fit both feet while coasting (need to make sure forward foot is all the way fwd). The height of the handlebars is comfortable for me, arms are at a 100-110-ish degree angle. If you are much taller it might not be enough. I hope this helps.

First of all, I have to say that my kids have never had the Razor Pro XXX. Looking at it on Amazon, I would say that the Fuzion is a lot better. My kids have had Razors, Royals, and MGP scooters. The biggest maintenance issue was the headset coming loose. Trying to tighten it so that it wouldn't get loose and not crush the bearings was always difficult. An integrated headset with forks would cost you almost as much as this scooter if you bought them separately. I hope this helps.

wish I could help directly...I only use it for my every other day save and to trim side burns and soul patch. In general I get a close facial shave without any razor burn or irritation. Compared to my previous iterations of Norelco shavers (think this is my 4th), it is much much lighter and quieter.

It is great on legs. It is rather awkward for other areas as the razor head is rectangular. The only other "con" is that the battery does not seem to stay charged for more than 2-3 days. The razor runs, but the motor sounds slower on day three that it did right after being charged all night. (the directions say it should have a 20 minute running time, but I don't know about that) I hope this is helpful.

I purchased the ES8055 in 2009 and the ES8249 in 2011. The cleaning system on the ES8249 went haywire after two years, just like the ES8055. The razors always worked fine.

I have been using this razor for over 3 years. It is by far the best Razor I have used, better than anu of the many electric razors I have used and equal to any single or multi-blade hand shaver. The battery type last a very long time, as the batteries can last months. The blades are very long lasting also, I usually change when I feel the shave is not as close as it should be, about 3 months.

No. I've looked everywhere as I find it the best electric rasor there is and I've been using electric razors since 1965. If you find suitable alternative please email

I started using one in October 2014. It's February 2016, and I'm getting ready to switch to the second one. Like any razor, these will be super smooth at first, then go through a break-in period after a week or so. If you can put up with being careful with it for a couple of weeks, it becomes smooth again. More pressure required than a new blade, but you won't cut yourself like when it was three weeks old. I generally get 12 to 24 months out of one. Saves lots of money.
