So the Braun electric Razor works amazing the first few days. After a few weeks it seems to work like any other electric razor. The problem I have with this product is its claim that you should swap the replacement head after 18 months. I would be happy if it lasted 12 months; but so far each shaver head has lasted me on average 6 months. The first time I had to replace the heads was after 9 month Marc · walmart.com
