This is a great shaver apart from you need to have a good stash of batteries as it tends to lose power quite quickly which results in a poor shave. It is a wet and dry shaver but I tend to use it dry as its easier to handle as the grip can be quite slippy when wet. It's also quite difficult to purchase replacement foils when needed. Other than that it's a great razor so much so that when my old one packed in I bought the same one again.
