- that is a good point. and as for my comment about a closer shave of braun,
- I think it may shave part of skin off also because of that. as for being
- autovolt, with the braun, you just plug it into any outlet (special plug
- to plug into car lighter), while the norelco works with 110 or 220 volts AC
- but you still need to turn a switch.
-
- as for the blades, I suppose the 660 is not the lift and cut model. the 805 is
- and the faceplate of the blade fell off after 1 month of use.
