Optimus 50040 Curve Rechargeable Double Blade Wet/dry Men's Shaver, Black/silver
Optimus 50040 Shaver Review
Ordered this shaver and as usual with Amazon service, it arrived promptly.
Pros: Not a bad product for the money. Although the body seems flimsy, it offers a decent shave.
Cons: Unit has a NiCad battery. Had I known this I wouldn't have ordered this model. I had no idea anyone was still using these batteries. On top of that, it has a light that illuminates only during charging, but never goes out when charged.(Literature confirms this). Because of the NiCad battery, if you don't let it run down, it will develop memory problems and shorten its life, so you must wait until it runs down in the middle of a shave and will take 8 hours to re-charge. Again, literature says this.
Amazon't product details show....
# Item model number: 50040

Led me to believe unit has Lithium Ion battery.
Motor sounds like a leaf blower. Although it cuts the whiskers, the motor slows down considerably...
