Good Shaver...but is it worth the price?

I was so excited to get my new razor, I waited 3 days to shave.  Monday came, I was all charged up and ready to go.  Half-way into my shave I wondered if this razor was worth the (approx. 185.00) price tag.

The razor cut very comfortable without nicking or discomfort. But unlike many of the other opinions, I found myself having to go back and forth over many areas just to get all the hairs cut.  I also found that longer hairs were not so easy for the Braun to cut and at the end of my shave I was using the trimmer to go around and cut back the longer hairs on my face and neck.

I then tried the shaver again on a separate day when the hairs were not as long and again found that I needed to go over several areas multiple times just to get a complete shave. 

Some things I did like about the shaver: 

The LCD on the front which displays info. about number of shaves, battery life, need for cleaning etc..

I also really liked the cleaning mechanism with the razor.  It cleans and lubricates well with a nice lemon scent.  It takes about 30 minutes to clean and dry. 
It looks nice in the charger and also has a travel kit with cord.

Overall--maybe my expectations were too high since this shaver was one of the more expensive ones out there.  However, I was disappointed in the overall cutting qualities of this shaver.

I would buy this again--especially with the cleaning mechanism but I wouldn't pay the retail price tag.  This is a good 100.00 shaver but not much more than that.
