Philips Norelco Shavers -
The Most High Tech Electric Shavers


Norelco shavers are made by The Philips company.

It's a Dutch electrics company and it's one of the biggest in the world.

The name Norelco comes from the acronym North American Electrical Company. When Philips began marketing their products in the United States, they were not allowed to use the name Philips on any of their products.

In 1981 Philips bought Philco, the company that prevented them from using the name Philips on their US products, but decided to keep the name Norelco for their personal care products.

Norelco shavers became successful in the early 1950s with Philip's first two headed shaver. Another big step for Norelco razors was the introduction of their body hair shaver. You might also remember Norelco from their famous Christmas commercials with Santa riding a shaver through the snow.

A great thing about Norelco razors is that they all have a 60 day money back guarantee, and a two year warranty.



Best Selling Norelco Shavers

This Norelco razor might be the best rotary shaver available.

After analyzing the reviews for this model it's clear that most people are impressed. If you've always used rotary shavers then this is an excellent choice for you.

However, if you have always used foil shavers then I would stick to similar priced shavers like the Braun Series 7 or some advanced Panasonic shavers.

This is the most advanced group of Norelco shavers and comes in a few different models. Some come with cleaning stations and have more advanced battery displays, but they all have the main important features like the Ultra Track shaving blades, and the 360 degree Gyro Flex 3D Head.


Most people can't justify paying more money for the higher models like the 1280x and 1290x. The 1250x is probably the highest you will want to go to get your money's worth. Two models have the Jet Clean System (1280xcc, 1250xcc) which works really well, but it's not needed. You can save money by just buying the electric razor (1250x) which can be cleaned manually.

This electric shaver has 3 pivoting heads which gives you a very close shave. It has an impressive design and is very easy to clean. Because this shaver is waterproof you can use it in the shower or over the sink with shaving cream. I personally found I got a better shave when using it wet and would recommend it for anyone looking for a wet shave.
















Philips Norelco HS8420 Nivea for Men Razor norelco nivea for men, norelco nivea razor

If you like the idea of shaving in the shower with a reliable rotary shaver, this razor might be for you. Its shaving performance has been compared to some of the more expensive models, but it doesn't come with the added features.

If shaving with lotion is important then this Norelco shaver will interest you. Nivea for Men conditioner is dispensed while you shave. This helps keep your skin moisturized while shaving.

One thing you should remember is that you will have to refill the lotion dispenser. Consumers have complained that it can be expensive to constantly refill. Keep in mind you don't need to use the lotion if you don't want to. You can use this razor dry.

For under 100 dollars it's a good deal if you're not interested in added features like a precision trimmer, and you want to shave in the shower.





Philips Norelco 7340 Men's Shaving System

With this Norelco shaver you might not get the closest shave ever, but reviews state that it's quiet, comfortable, and very easy to clean. It's a great shaver for the price. At under 50 dollars it is well worth the money.

If you're looking for a complete shaving system and a super close shave this might not satisfy your needs. However if your budget for an electric shaver is around 50 dollars, this Norelco razor is highly recommended.

Many users have reviewed that it is exceptionally light, very quiet, and easy to use. No need to use any type of cleaning product with this razor. Just rinse it under water and you're done.

Some complaints were made about the packaging and the battery life. Some reviews complained that it just shut down when the battery was out, rather than slowing down when it was running low.

Again there's always a 60 day guarantee with these electric razors. If you're looking for a basic rotary shaver, this will deliver the results you want.
