Has anyone else found the Headblade 4 to shave less close due to the very flexible suspension? I found the earlier headlades shave MUCH closer.

i agree. i get a much closer shave using a twin blade and the headblade sport.

My girlfriend has borrowed my razor several times before (just make sure to switch blades, I've been told once a blade is used for body hair it will cut up the face) and we both noticed that she had much softer skin and a much closer shave. She did say it was harder to use than a normal razor, but she really liked how it didn't damage her skin at all.

I have had a Braun shaver since 1986 always liked it, close shave. I was in the retail business and one of our products was electric razors. I always told a customers if you are happy with your shave results don't change brands just upgrade existing. The ones that decided to purchase a Braun because of my reviews had 30 day money back guarantees. Why series 7 over #5 ? The reviews I read made me feel like the #7 had all the bells and whistles and the razor felt good in my hand. I have shaved pretty much every day for over 40 years , a medium heavy beard my wife had to tell to quit bragging about getting the best shave of my life with the series #7. Best features swivel head, great on the neck, cord can be taken on a trip without the cleaning unit. You can refill the cleaning canisters, it does well on a 3 day growth. Pricey yes, I am retired , If my son had a razor on his gift list this is the one I would buy. Sorry I couldn't make a big comparison.

The trimmer on my newer FS5790 seems to work well on long hairs but I agree that the trimmer on my older MS280 works a little faster owing to its greater width. I doubt that there is sufficient time saved by switching razors to justify the switch. This might vary with individuals

i would contact amazon first then the vender. i returned mine asap as i was disappointed on the quality of the end result,a close and tight "shave". seems the norelco type shaving head does non work well on the head.

I bought them for my bf. He says it shaves pretty close but not as close as a razor. Hope this helps :)

Sorry - Just a little late here, but since I doubt you've grown back your hair (neither have I), then you are still looking for the elusive shaver to master 3x as many tough spots as the average bro. I love the Panasonic Vortex on my face, neck, and head. I have used rotary shavers, and most recently had been a loyal Braun consumer. So I have experience with all kinds. I got 5 years out of my first Braun, but since the last one barely made 2 years (not very long IMHO for a $150 shaver) I decided to look around. LOVE the Panasonic. I like it 2x as much as the Braun. I get nearly as close a shave from it as I do with a Gilette Fusion.

I haven't used the Feather Blades Nico, but I can tell you the Shark blades have worked out really well for me. I get a really close, comfortable shave from them and I have pretty tough facial hair. I'm also pretty surprised by how long they stay sharp. They certainly aren't one and done on the shaving. Also I shave my head with them and I haven't gotten any nicks or cuts from using them.

I've seen an improvement over my old cartridge razor. The biggest thing is finding the right blade that works for your skin type. Once you figure that out its a lot better. The razor is great I've really been happy with it. I've had it about 8 months.

Yes, this Norelco has that attribute. I, too, was concerned. Slowing down my own motions when using it, I found that in spite of what it sounded like, I got the shave I was looking for. Even though it sounded slow I still got a good shave by adjusting my motions to it; and the shave did Not take any longer.

Yes, you are correct The futur head is larger than the progress. Progress head is about 20 - 25% smaller if I had to quantify it. I have been selling merkur DE razors for over 10 years. I would say the Progress razors are becoming more popular each year.

This razor is not equipped with a trimmer. I almost never used the trimmer on my previous razors, so I was unwilling t spend another $20 for the model that is equipped with a trimmer. RLK

My husband is away until tomorrow and has this with him. I'm not sure of the answer. I do know that he is very, very satisfied with everything on the Head to Toe. I even use it to shave my Dad's head. It gives a nice close shave. If you can wait until Sat., I'll ask him when he gets home.

I went back to a Double Edge safety razor. Best move I made as far as shaving goes. Look at the Edwin Jagger Double Edge razors as an example. The DE89 series is very popular. I use a DE89BL almost on a daily basis. There are many other brands available too like Parker, Muhle etc.

One of the real design benefits is the way the blade is held in place. No other DE razor I have seen has this. Blade is equal on both sides all the time and no blade vibration. Sometimes its hard to tell its cutting. I had a real problem with my Merkur razors holding the blade equal.
