Title: Not what I hoped for!
Review: After using a Braun 255 for almost a decade without a problem, I made the assumption that Braun shavers were superior. I was wrong! The 5416 does not shave close. My old 255 still works fantastic and much better than this newer Braun. The Flex head is a gimmick to compete with the Norelco Floating head,,, but it's just a gimmick. I'm pretty sure that the 255 was made by German craftsmen,,, and that Gillete (the current owner), now makes them in Mexico. It may work for you if you have no qualms about taking 20 minutes to shave. My 255 did it in 3 minutes. It's just good enough not to be sent back. But I'm going to think long and hard before buying another Braun. I'm tempted to continue using the 255 on an electric cord.
Is the review positive or negative?
