Not perfect, but close!

I owned a Phillips Norelco for years -- i really liked the circular blades, but Phillips doesn't have good product support. I switched to Braun because I read good reviews on epinions for this model and others. Overall, I am very satisfied with this razor. it cuts well, except in some hard angle spots on my neck, which I expected based on other reviews. I didn't think the cleaning feature was that big of a deal, until i experienced it myself. The cleaning system is great, and has a refreshing smell. it cleans the razor impeccably. the carrying case doesn't stay closed that well, so you may want to find something else to carry it in. the cleaning system is a little noisy and takes about 30 minutes, but every morning your blade is ready to go... also braun's online support info seemed much more user friendly
