Bye Bye Gillette!
By Maulana Pir Nakhshbandi Sahib
I've never been a fan of electric shavers as i feel they don't give a closer shave than a manual razor...until now that is. This shaver gives you a closer shave than a Gillette ProGlide Razor, but you will have to be patient to get results. If you've never shaved before using an electric shaver, then you need to use this for at least 3 weeks for your skin to get used to it. The first time i shaved (wet) with this shaver, it hurt like hell with blood all over my neck. I started using Nivea Extreme Comfort post-shave balm which helped with the irritation. Over the next few weeks, the irritation got less & less and now there is no irritation. The thing to bear in mind when using this shaver is to shave in a circular motion with VERY light pressure; if you press too hard, it will irritate your skin! I have also switched to dry shaving using Old Spice pre-electric shave lotion which really helps to give you a close shave.The Jet Clean system not only cleans the shaver but also lubricates it. I use this twice a week and it definitely keeps the shaver in tip-top condition.Any downsides? Yes, from reading various reviews it seems that there is a major design bug in the sensotouch 3d series as there seems to be no overcharging protection built in the shaver. Its been widely reported that leaving the shaver on charge for extended periods of time 'fries' the battery and some people have reported having a dead battery after 6 months of use. I cannot confirm this as i'm unwilling to take the risk so i always unplug the charger from mains after the shaver is fully charged.Finally i bought this from Amazon USA (Jet Clean version of 1280 wasn't available in UK at the time) and i only paid £230 including delivery & import taxes. Ordered on Friday and was delivered the following Tuesday all the way from Las Vegas to Inverness! Brilliant service as usual from Amazon.

By RJM
After reading all the reviews on Amazon and across the Internet I was a little sceptical as to whether the outlay for such an item would in fact be worth it, especially with the reviews highlighting some of the negative points. Enough to say I made up my mind and ordered the item from Amazon. It was delivered 2 days ahead of schedule and in good condition.The item was well packed and pretty simple to setup and get working. The instruction book is aimed at making it easy for idiots, and therefore was highly confusing for everyone who does not fall into that category :).The Shaver charged from zero to 60 minutes in no time at all. The charger then stopped charging the shaver which seems to contravene many of the reviews saying that the charger never stops. Whilst there is a charge the shaver shows the length of time it can be used. As soon as the charging has ended the display goes black.As I have never used an electric shaver before I was a little reticent with using it due to the reviews that state how it takes many days or even weeks for the skin to get accustomed to the shaving technique. This was compounded as I have very sensitive skin and can come out in blotches with a wet shave razor, and only use sensitive shaving gel!Having little patience I decided to try it out as soon as possible, not even bothering to use gel but purely dry shave. I followed the instructions, to the picture, using gentle circular motions and before I knew it I had easily shaved a days growth. The results were not as clean as a razor, although easily comparable to a new razor only used shaving in the direction of growth. So all in all a very good result. The most astounding detail is that I am still to have a reaction, after a number of days shaving dry, using the appropriate technique, I have not had an adverse reaction at all!! This really has positively surprised me.The wet shave works very well and I am sure the cleaning procedure will be as nearly all the other reviews.I just wanted to add a review that highlights some of the questions that are raised and how I have experienced the shaver first hand.Is it worth the money? If you have the money definitely, although maybe I am not the best judge as I have no comparable knowledge of other electric shavers, but it compares very favourably to a new razor blade with ease.I hope this review will help others with some of the doubts that I myself had.

Style over substance?
By Clara
Found this with a £100 discount - so no brainer? I wanted to upgrade my several years old Philishave 8894. First the negatives.The accompanying instruction leaflet is IKEA style and as helpful, which means not at all.The ergonomics are poor, long and thin with a polished slippery surface.The battery recharge life at 60 minutes is less than half the 8894.It comes with an ugly cleaning tank.The 8894 is simplicity itself to clean. Flip the hinged head, blow out beard shavings (preferably out the window) and run under tap. Done!Cost of running the 8894 other than electricity - NIL.At a rough estimate the RQ 1280 would cost about £80 a year in cleansing solution with the pain of shopping for it. And this for a razor with a RRP of £299. At £7 a go for 300ml of ionised water, think inkjet cartridge rip-off.The blade length of the trimmer is just 15mm wide, not a huge problem but its 25% smaller than the 8894.Other reviewers mention 'battery fry' if the 1280 is left on charge too long. I cannot comment further but I have done this many times with the 8894 with no adverse effect.The ability of the razor to follow the contours of the face is a much vaunted feature but the head 'flex' is only marginally greater than my existing razor.Now for the positives.Well, there are none to mention, it has been returned. Most of the reviews of this product are favourable, for me it's overpriced even with a third off and over stylised, so it's back to my vintage 8894. If you suffer from razor rash or eczema, try Nivea's Post Shave Balm, occasional use has worked well for me and at £5 a time, it may save you a lot of money.
