a most strange review of a most incredible electric shaver
Pros:
Incredibly close shave. To me nothing else matters.
Cons:
At $118 a bit more than I'd LIKE to have spent.
The Bottom Line:
Ditch the blades, buy the Spectra. Like I said, this is my
intro into the electric shaver world but oh what an intro it is .. life's good.

Best thing since spam .. lite.
Based on recommendations here at epinions I reluctantly
walked into the store with $118 (U.S.), walked out with
a new toy, and a wallet $118 lighter :(
A little background .. I've never had an electric razor.
It's been getting to the point where I'd spend the better
part of a workday trying to get a close shave with the
best of the best of the razors .. Close shave those non-electrics
give you .. if you have all day to muck around with them ..
if you don't mind the nicks and cuts and irritation.
I used to shave in my car on the way to work .. 30 minute
drive, I've got a can of cream, what the heck.
So .. having reached my boiling point with blades, I bought the Spectra. Again, having NO other electric to
compare it to, all I can say is ..
(is it alright to say the word here?) .. all I can say is
WOW! There. I said it. Never in my life would I ever
imagined that an electric could give as close a shave
as a regular razor (alright .. once I DID have this dream
where .. but that's a different review .. stay tuned).
As you can see I'm focusing on functionality, not price,
not durability, not design, etc etc etc... It's that good.
Closest, easiest shave I've had in my life. What's NEXT
that I don't know about .. hot and cold running WATER??
Maybe there ARE better electric shavers out there in
shaver land, who knows. All I know is .. wild horses
couldn't pry this Spectra out of my hands. I'm shaving now
as I type .. could turn into a hobby. My challenge to you?
Show up at my door with a couple of your wild horses and
see if you and your stallions can pry it away.
My recommendation? 6 stars out of 5. I know there's only
5 stars but this thing does do the job, quickly, easily, no
irritation .. Pardon me while I go hang myself from glee.
