This model has a pivoting head as well as the three pivoting blades. Does the pivoting head make it shave better than the non?

I'd say that the pivoting head doesn't do anything that your wrist can't do, it merely follows the curves and contours of your face.

I think that the pivoting heads help, but you can get just as close of a shave with either. It's just that your hand would do more of the pivoting.

Of course the pivoting blades are very important but I don't think the pivoting head makes any difference. I guess if you were an ape and had very little dexterity in your hand then it would matter. But if you hold the razor with a light and flexible grip, then you don't need the head to pivot. It's just one more thing that might break.

YEs. Its definitely better than non- pivot head one. But still, you don't get super - clean shave in difficult areas such as chin, around neck. it leaves some hair. SO I have to use normal razor second time. But 2nd time its really cakewalk as skin gets really smoother because of shaver. It takes hardly 1 min for 2nd round. let me know in case of more doubts.

I would assume that the pivoting head and blades makes the difference since I do get a better shave with this razor than previous Norelco razors. Stating it another way, I get a closer shave with less effort, i.e., having to go over the same area fewer times than with prior razors.

000 blade shaves off your head close to bald. the 1 i assume would trim higher than the 000

It has a shaver head and a trimmer cap for the shaver head. The head shaves very close as well. Almost as well as a normal razor.

I have no idea. I like the one I have pretty well, but I just purchased a Panasonic that I like even better. The Panasonic cuts longer hairs better, both work fine on short hairs (e.g. if you shave every day, either razor is fine, if you skip a couple of days now and then, you may like the Panasonic better.

I can't answer this specific question. I never tried it with any other razor.

The 1150 doesn't have any right-or left-handed tendencies. I am left-handed and it works fine for me. I will sometimes switch the shaver to my right hand when I'm shaving the right side of my face to come at a few areas from a different angle.

No it does not. In fact we've not been very happy with this shaver - the blades get dull REAL quickly.

In my experience it does very well. The head pivots in two directions. At first I would try to guide the head--now I've learned to just steer the handle and let the pivoting happen. It follows the contours of my face very well. Don't press hard--gentle pressure is fine--and guide it over your face. The pivoting lets it track the changes in surface orientation and gives you a nice shave.

Honestly, I have never used an electric razor so I would not be able to make an appropriate comparison. However, it is the best razor I have ever used. It gives a very close shave. I have a pretty heavy beard. I blades themselves seem to be the same as the previous model razor but the swivel head allows me to get closer under my nose, under my jawline and under my chin. If you were going to try a non-electric razor, I would suggest this model.

Yes but slightly when your using the piece that cuts/trims nose hairs. It vibrates more using the piece that trims chin/facial hair.

The shaver doesn't cut my neck when shaving, but I have been using Norelco 3-head shavers for years. I would suggest using less pressure in the neck area, and repeat several times.

Yes, when I got it smoothed out my skin. It removes the hairs but you would have to shave longer your face than if you were using clippers. One of main differences is that the shavers don't irritate your skin like clippers do. You have to at times put the oil on them to keep them able to give you that smooth shave. There is another shaver designed specially for blacks males called Wahl Professional 8061 5-star Series Rechargeable Shaver Shaper.

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.

The shaver works either way, but plugged in it seems to have a little more power. I switched to Braun after being a norelco rotary user for years but it was not cutting my neck hairs and the cutter heads were too expensive. You get a carrying case, little cleaning brush, a little bottle of oil, the cord, and the operating instructions. A very good razor for the money!!

Laura, re your question, I am not sure. I like the razor as it has 3 different shaving screens and I use the closest shaving one. If I let my beard grow out more than a few days then I use the trimmer to cut it shorter then I use the razor part.I like the razor except for the switch problem. Maybe you can try it out and if happy with results, great. If the results are not good, be sure to return it within 30 days for Amazon return.

Wow...tough question. i am scott, account in my wife's name. was able to get this at a great price as the three d versions are everywhere and i wanted the cleaning base. go to the Phillips site and you can view all the models. Costco has a great price on a 3d model with no cleaner also. My face is more round than angular and i also read the 2d is better for my kind of face. Plus i can always replace the razor head with a 3d after a year. I was a wet shaver and used an old school saftey razor. That said, i couldnt be happier. sorry for the delayed response. scott
