Do Babies Really Have Smooth Bottoms?

2009_06_07How a guy shaves is kind of a personal thing. It's near impossible to read online reviews about a particular electric brand or model as the results are so mixed. Some men are coming from blades and complain about the lack of closeness. Other folks compare to experiences with previous models and manufacturers. Regardless, I decided it was time to replace my old Philips.

I am sure I started shaving as an adolescent with an electric. I can remember a brand called Norelco. For years when working overseas, I reverted to disposable blades. Today though, I found an archived photo of my most recent shaver when it was still in the package. Wow, that was eight years ago! I recall buying new, branded Philips heads once and being sort of shocked by the cost. More recently, I ordered several cheap Chinese sets on eBay. They worked but didn't stand up very long to daily use.

Although the old device still seems to hold a charge, I got quite a deal on a newer style Philips model. I saw it in the London Drugs flyer but ordered online just to ensure they don't run out before I get up to the store. They did state, "While quantities last!" Rather than shipping to the house, I asked for store pickup and already received my email confirmation. As we were uptown this morning, I'll probably wait until tomorrow to drive up. I'll review the model #S5420/08 in a later post.
