Initial thoughts were that this head shaver was quite expensive as I suspect a lot of potential purchasers would. On starting to use the shaver on balance I have to say it is well worth the money. The only down point in my opinion is the price tag, the positives however are a close shave that does not irritate or leave a burning feeling on your scalp, the shave is also fairly quick, it takes me approximately 4 minutes and the fact that I can also shave any beard stubble all in one are all positives. The inclusion of a case, and the shaver lock to avoid accidentally turning the unit on are a nice touch too.
