Reply to comment by DrKennethNoisewater- in [Request] Whats a good equipment to completely shave your beard? by lil-subedi

Confirm model is made in Germany. I think Series 5 and up are. The lower models made elsewhere are just not as good, IMHO.

I think the cutter blocks and foils are all done in Germany too but the box does mention where various parts are made (including the cord!). I just wish they were not so expensive and they should be replaced about every year, depending on use and probably whisker properties.

I have recently wondered in the extra foils and embedded trimmers are really any better than the older 2 foil models. Kinda like the 4 and 5 blade manuals are likely less satisfying than a single or double blade.

I had a Norelco for years but they stopped making the heads for it. Got the series 7 or 9 (honestly not sure anymore) 5 years ago and love it. I don’t necessarily shave every day anymore, but used to get razor burn really bad until I switched to electric.
