What to know before buying

Do not use the shaver near water while charging, as the supplied safety note cautions.

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about the blade count: it gives 27 self-sharpening ComfortCut blades in feature text but lists 12 blades in product details. It also describes the shaver as rotary while the head-type field says “Roterande”. The title advertises one-hour charging and five-minute quick charging, while the detailed claims describe 50 minutes of use after one hour and one shave after five minutes. Check these model-specific details before purchase. The manufacturer description says the USB-A adapter is not included, while the included-components field lists a charger without clarifying what that means.
