The five blade arrangement also gave me some grief. I was very glad I hadn’t paid $700 for the SensoTouch.Īs a result of this and similar experiences, I’m automatically suspicious of anything designed to shave my face where power is involved. I got much closer and less painful results from a store brand disposable. I found it painful and about as effective as rubbing my face with sandpaper. Nick on Gizmodo was mildly enamoured with it, but I liked it a lot less. I’ve chosen to spare you the pictures.įor instance, a couple of years back, Philips sent out its very expensive SensoTouch 3D to journalists to test. Indeed, I’ve never met an electric shaver that didn’t cut my face to ribbons. I’m a good case in point: I have never yet met an electric shaver I liked. LIFEHACKER: We’re doing this as a combined review for a very simple reason: razor experiences vary. Does it make shaving any better? The Kidman brothers put it to the test.
