Interesting razor...wonder if its worth it, I love a close shave, and always need to moisturize after a shave other wise it gets agitated.

There have been a number of places i have seen this shaver sell for about $99, so it is warm, but certainly not 1/2 price.

Also note that the SPC is required for that price, which is nearly $10 off. Not everyone has one of those.

In terms of shaving, I have found it excellent but it depends on your facial hair/skin type. You may need to purchase the nivia lotion extra and it adds up if you require it for every shave.

The lotion it comes with is a large bottle, but inside has about 5ml or something that like that so you will be buying more quick if you require it.

The price of $79.98 does not reflect an SPC discount.

How much does the nivea lotion cost? I remember reading in an older thread that you can use a different type of lotion that is cheaper.

When your done with the Nivea - score some Oil of Olay microbead creme from Wally-mart.... does one heck of a job with this razor...... IMHO

Nope - - it's this one

about $5 - $6 at Wally-Mart if I recall.......

Anybody know if this shaver works well on a bald head? I've always shaved with blades and wanted to try an electric.

The nivia lotion isn't that bad price-wise actually...I bought a suppy at Wal-Mart for less in Canadian dollars than what it is in USD on Amazon.com. $10-$12 I think

Nobody else shaves their head?
