After about a month of using it, I am very happy with the PT730. It is lightweight, can be cleaned under the sink, and works well. Oh, and did I mention the cheap price? Don't be fooled: This Philips Norelco PT730 Powertouch Electric Razor is STILL the best electric razor on the market even compared to ones that cost $200+.

• Dual precision shaving system effectively shaves long hairs and short stubble.
• Flexing heads automatically adjust to every contour of your face and neck for a close, comfortable shave
• Fully washable simply rinse clean
• Replace with HQ8 replacement heads every 12 months to keep a close shave

Out of the box, I noticed how light the Noreclo was. Despite the lack of heft, the build seemed good with the plastic having no stress marks or burring. It also fit together well with no noticeble defects. I charged it over night and the next morning gave it a go.

I just don't see the logic or buying an entire new head when you only need new blades, and $50 for blades each year is more than the entire price of the PT730. So here it is, after shaving with Norelco for 23+ years with all the different heads.

So, in the HQ8/9 heads, the PT730 is the best deal. Also, rather important, the 730 keeps the blade speed up when it is on batteries. In the HQ56 heads, the 6948XL is the best deal. If you want to save some money and you aren't picky or in a hurry, the 6948XL will do the trick.

If you just want a good razor that does it's job, I would suggest this one and maybe shy away from the more expensive ones unless you have the money and are willing to spend it on a fancier razor that streams football or something silly like that.
