Review of Philips Norelco 8140XL SpeedXL Men's Shaver

Those new XL shaving heads make a huge difference.The additional blades they added change the whole feel of the shave for the better. The shave is a more friendly shave.The heads almost feel soft against your face as you're shaving.For years I have used Afta pre-electric shave to cut down on irritation but I find with this razor it's no longer needed.It is very quiet and I must agree with another reviewer that it sounds like it's on low power.It's not.I thought that the new heads would shorten the amount of time I needed to shave but that wasn't true.It took just as long.Go figure. I would have given this razor 5 stars except after I got it I realized that it does not have a low battery indicator.That was an unwelcome surprise.The 8150XL or 8151XL does.
ADDITIONAL REVIEW AFTER TWO MONTHS OF USE: Other razors wind down slowly when running out of juice.Not this one, it goes from full speed ahead to dead in three seconds.When it does that, turn it off and then back on.It seems to have another 30 seconds of shaving when you do that.I don't know if this was an accidental or intentional design but that little trick is not in the manual.
