Review of NORELCO CONSUMER PRODUCTS 7140XL RCH Reflex Action Razor

If you are looking for an inexpensive electric razor that is going to give you a close shave and not give you a headache when trying to clean it up, this is your best option.Initially, I was going to go with the Norelco 7110 X, but you can only use that cordless, and I wanted to use something that I can use anytime that I want.

I tried using an electric razor several years ago (it was the kind with the two bars) and it was painful and left a lot of stubble, so I continued to use stick razors.Technology was grateful enough to bring us these little gems, so I finally bought one last night, because I was getting tired of buying new blades every couple of weeks.

The book clearly states that you need to give your hair and skin about 3 weeks to get used to the sensation of the electric razor, if you had been using a stick razor.Accordingly, I had to go over a couple of spots a few more times that I would have liked and it probably took me a bit longer to shave than it normally would, but I am glad that I made change.There are no nicks, cuts, or scratches on my face.And unlike my previous experience with an electric razor, I have absolutely no irritation, which I was really apprehensive about.

Clean-up was a snap.I pushed the button and the hair chamber was there.I used the included brush to give it a quick cleaning before running it under water, so that all of the excessive hair was removed.

Great, great, great purchase.

Review of Philips Norelco 7140 Cord/Cordless Rechargeable Shaver

The Norelco 7140XL is an excellent electric razor. Compared to more expensive models, it seems to be a great way to go. Made almost entirely of virtually indestructible plastic, the 7140XL's light weight gives it a somewhat "cheap" feel. However, many months of everyday use have proved to be confidence inspiring. This shaver is easy to recharge with the included plug in cord and the charge lasts about 2 to 3 weeks which seems to be a long time considering how easy it is to recharge...simply plug it in overnight, and when it's done an LED in the front will blink to signal that it is recharged.

The shave is close and fast and you'll be done in no time with no fuss or mess. Each of the three rotating heads flexes individually plus the entire head assembly flexes in the middle allowing it to follow the contours of your face. The only negative I have found is it doesn't shave hairs that lay flat against the skin like some of mine on the lower neck near the adam's apple. Maintenance is really easy, too...pop open the top, rinse under water, shake off excess water and let dry.

The Norelco line has many models, and the heads are a significant part of the price of the shaver (like most parts that require periodic replacement). By the time the heads need to be replaced you will have had ample time to decide if this is the shaver for you. If shaving is a chore, you might as well decide based on quick, easy and convenient...on that basis Norelco is a reliable consideration.

Best of life to you.
