Eltron EL-3030 Battery Operated Mini Travel Shaver

2009-12-17T15:07:00.001-08:00

... The 3030 is NOT a good travel shaver. It is so tiny that it takes forever to complete a shave. It uses 1 AA battery which runs down fast and has very little power. The shaver doesn't travel well in luggage because it has poor protection for the foil and can turn on accidentally. I have one but replaced it with a Braun P-70 which is made for travel and will give a good shave day after day for weeks on one set of batteries, and is twice as powerful and only $5 more. I keep the little Eltron at work for emergencies like that wild hair or rough patch that I might have missed in the morning with my normal shaver. It is worthless as a travel shaver. ...

Norelco 6711X Cool Skin Shaver (factory reconditioned)

2009-12-16T14:29:00.001-08:00

... When I looked for a replacement for my Norelco wet shaver, I found that they had been replaced by Norelco's next-gen version that did not get good reviews. Plus, it was a lot more expensive. Doing an online search, I found that I could still buy my old-style wet shaver at a fraction of the cost of the next-gen one at Amazon. Amazon listed a "factory-reconditioned" wet shaver (slightly improved from my old model)for $54. With a warranty included, I decided to give it a try. What I received in the mail a few days later is what appeared to be a brand new shaver, sealed in a plastic pack, with manual and all accessories. After unpacking, I was satisfied that this was a brand new product, never before used. It performs just like my old one, and it even has a better re-charging system. I feel like I got quite a bargain in the process. ...

Philips Sonicare Crest IntelliClean Toothpaste Refills and Replacement Head Combo Pack

2009-12-14T14:32:00.001-08:00

... I am not sure how to rate this as the refill products are fine. I am just very unhappy that I purchased this Sonicare type toothbrush. I thought at the time it was a great idea to have the toothpaste and brush together but since I have had this I find it very messy and also very difficult to find replacement brushes as well as toothpaste. It looks like Sonicare isn't making this type anymore and has returned to the way it was before without the toothpaste in the handle. Concept was great but it gets very messy in the handle. ...

... Works great and a welcome relief from the blade. Not as close as a blade, but that's the case w/all E-razors. Also, keep in mind the recharge stand doesn't come w/this unit.

You should factor in the cost to replace the rotary blades soon because the ones that come w/the factory remanf unit don't last very long for some reason. ...

Philips Norelco G290 6-in-1 Grooming Kit

2009-12-10T15:07:00.001-08:00

... This model is likely discontinued, I saw it on sale at best buy about a year ago for $30. I have been using mine for ~3 yrs now, and I must say it's a dandy. I picked up a cheap Conair which doesn't do near as nice a job. I just purchased the Wahl 79524-1001 Deluxe Chrome Pro with Multi-Cut Clipper & Trimmer to replace this as the battery is so bad these days that I have to charge it for at least 1/2 an hour to get a decent beard trim or haircut. That said, for $30 I have definitely gotten my money's worth, bi-weekly haircuts and 3x / week beard trims has made it more than a worthwhile investment I'd say. ...

I bought a second one expecting to have to replace it every so often like I used to with any other brand but I have not had to use it. The fact that it is water resistant, so I can leave it in the shower, and made by a good company is what makes it a superior product. ...

... This brush is great while it lasts. But considering the price the unit is not worth the cost. The battery is not replaceable and you will be lucky to get two years out of it if only one person is using it. I loved it while it lasted but I have read of many others who also had it die after a short time. I will have to try another brand. ...

I had only 1 issue with this sonicare, it wouldn't charge anymore about 7 or 8 months after I had been using it. I am still giving it 5 stars thought because the Sonicare customer service was wonderful. I called them and told them what the problem was and after determaning that it was defective they immediatly sent me out a new one including 2 new brush heads and a postage paid lable to send the old one back in...no questions asked. This is a great product. Next time I will no not to be so afraid to buy a more expenive one because their customer service is wonderful and will take care of you if something should happen. ...

Philips Norelco 8175XL Speed XL Shaver System Patented Reflex Action

2009-11-29T13:21:00.001-08:00

... I have owned this shaver for over 6 months now, and I use it almost every day. It is fairly easy to use, and gives a very decent shave (although not as good as an actual razor). So far, this shaver has lasted much better than other shavers I have owned in the past (admittedly less expensive ones).

Unlike one of the reviewers, I think the light-weight of the shaver and the flip-top (for cleaning) are both positive aspects of the shaver.

And, because the shaver can hold up to 30 days of charge, it's possible to fully charge the shaver before a long trip and not worry about recharging it. I have taken it on a 3-week trip through the UK and Italy, and have used it most days, and it worked throughout the trip. Unless you are planning on taking a really long trip, I think it's best to just leave the charger and docking cradle at home.

The blades are still good on it but I feel i'll probably need to get them replaced within the next few months. It is very quiet and it runs very good.

I didn't get a stand with mine so i'm not sure what's up with that. I however did not purchase this through Amazon. ...

Philips Norelco HP2843 Satinelle Epilator

2009-11-22T13:18:00.001-08:00

... It won't do fine hairs and does not pull out all hairs at the root, some hairs may clip off and not be unrooted, and when you try to go over the area again it won't get those hairs. Basically, it works about as well as waxing,but without the mess. It is about as quick as shaving (though I just dry shave).

Now, let's talk a bit about the pain. It does hurt, but not the kind of pain a woman can't handle. I use it for armpits and bikini area. It hurts but it's quick and with longer lasting results than shaving. If you do legs you should get into the habit of using the exfoliating pad because it does seem to cause much ingrowing of hairs. I don't have that problem in other areas though.

There is a learning curve in determining how close to the skin you go, if varies the type of hair and skin. You have to experiment to determine what is most effective maximizing uprooting more hairs and minizing the pain.

Definitely worth the price and pain. When is this thing going to be stocked again? I want to get at least 2 more for girlfriends as gifts! ...

... You will need to remove the old battery and install the new one with a soldering iron. Take note of the polarity of the old battery (i.e. you want to connect the positive battery terminal on the new battery to the same wire). The most difficult part was opening the plastic casing, my shaver had plastic snaps keeping it closed. Eventually I had to just yank it open- luckily nothing broke. Closing it was also a little tricky, putting the circuit board in place without any in instructions. If you are patient, and good with your hands, you can install this battery. ...

Philips Sonicare Elite 7500 Power Toothbrush

2009-11-16T14:33:00.001-08:00

... I must echo other reviewers who have criticized the terrible performance of the "rechargeable" batteries in this device. I loved the results of the cleaning but can't abide the fact that the batteries died (i.e., simply could not hold any amount of charge) right around the 2-year mark (coincidentally when warranties expire!). The fact that the batteries cannot be swapped out is truly appalling and can't be viewed as anything but a major rip-off of customers by a greedy corporation. Despite really enjoying the cleaning functions, I can't support buying a replacement brush knowing that the dead-battery problem will recur. It's simply a bad investment. Sorry, but this is one brand that will not enjoy my consumer loyalty. I'm truly disappointed to have to write this.

Important note to other toothbrush owners: please don't throw an expended toothbrush in the trash where the toxic battery compounds will leach out - there are official means of recycling the batteries so their contents don't pollute our groundwater and environment. See http://www.rbrc.org/call2recycle (link provided on the Sonicare website). Thanks. ...

Remington Titanium Body Groomer - BHT2000

2009-11-15T13:18:00.001-08:00

... This is a replacement unit for the one I lost, because I liked it so much. I only use the trimmer and not the foil on a bi-weekly basis. I had to replace my last one because I had lost it.

Description of Use:
-> I travel weekly - it is my travel trimmer
-> I trim my goatee 1-2 times a week on its shortest setting
-> I use it in the shower

The battery life is more than sufficient - and it is not uncommon to last a number of weeks (with above profile) without a recharge. Trimming is best done with dry facial hair, although it works when wet. Its nice to be able to bring it into the shower. The lack of attachments makes it feasible to throw just the trimmer in the bag and not worry about other parts. I would recommend this to others with similar needs. ...

The product is ok and does its job, except that the 2 guide combs that provide the different trimming lengths BREAK VERY EASILY, therefore, making the trimmer useless, if you want it for a specific grooming length. In addition, I felt like "DUH" when I entered a Wal-Mart and saw the same exact thing for $12.95! So I pay $14.99 plus $5.43 shipping for a total of $20.42, more expensive then having bought it at the store, and then to top it off, it breaks! Oh well, you get what you pay for. ...

Remington Titanium MicroScreen Shaver - MS5100

2009-11-09T14:34:00.001-08:00

... I have had the Remington MS 5100 for a few years;

Postiives:
- Decent closeness of shave
- Easy to hold; nice grip and design
- Easy to clean

Negatives:
- Beard trimmer sucks - awkward design, not easy for around ears or neck
- Third foil that extends out sucks -- pulls hairs, not shaves hairs
- Battery duration/ife drained quickly; requiring use while plugged in
- Battery is irreplaceable!! Argh. So, now, when I travel, I have to take the cord and ensure I have a plug near a mirror.
- The razor is TOO young to be at the end of its life. Pisses me off. I got 2 to 3 years use out of this razor before it ended up in a state where my previous 2 Brauns took 6 to 7 years. I'm going back to Braun.

My users manual is copyrighted 2005. I bought it new in either 2005 or 2006. Well, it is fall 2008, and my battery no longer holds a charge. I've unscrewed the components, only to discover that the battery is not replaceable! Argh. Previously, I had two Brauns which lasted me over 6 years each.

... This razor has no button or notch or anything to assist in getting the top off so that you can clean out the hairs, etc. It's designed for you to just YANK it off - well that doesn't always work so well and I have twisted the blade inside while doing this and just barely got it back on. The reason I say "twisted the blade" is the second big problem - there is no actual blade! It's a flat piece of metal (thin & moldable) with holes in it (like a cheese grater) that lays up against a motor and this is what goes against your body to shave. Also the manual says to get a new "blade" every year - so you have to keep all the mailing info and order it yearly from the manufacturer! Keep looking - there must be a better razor out there! ...

2009-10-25T14:22:00.001-07:00

... I remember my grandpa telling me about razor blade sharpeners back in the great depression. Well here is the 2009 equivalent ... except this one really works and really does save money. Here is a secret that the package does not tell you. When you pop off the head of the razor you will notice a springy plastic spider that holds each of the 3 rotary heads and is attached to a central post. There is a little triangular fitting on top of that post that holds the spider. Look carefully at it: There is an arrow showing that it rotates. All you need to do is rotate it about 90 degrees and the heads come out and you can swap the 3 grinding wheels in this kit for the 3 blades. Reassemble and run for about 5 seconds. Works like brand new once you swap the blade back in. ...

This has been bought for my father who is rather conservative in his habits and does not want to try any modern stuff. He is completely satisfied with the purchase: shaving is close and smooth, the process is noiseless. No complaints so far. Two minor remarks: 1) No case to keep the shaver (we use the old one); 2) The plug is not adjusted for the standard socket (again, we took the cord from the previous shaver).

On the whole, fair purchase for this price. ...

... I purchased this for my husband 2 and a half years ago. HE changed the solution and filter regularly. There is a clamp on the pump that starts rusting pretty quickly. Why the design was not updated to a stainless steel clamp is beyond me. The base was replaced after a few months when we noticed the problem with the rust. Customer support was great. The entire system was replaced when the rust got really bad again and we suspected it was affecting the shaver head. The third base quit working a couple months ago. My husband has been cleaning it by hand since. We're surprising him with a new Norelco 8245 XLD for father's day. Another note - In the last year I was only able to find the solution on Amazon. ...

Norelco Arcitec Razor - 1060X

2009-10-04T14:18:00.001-07:00

... I've been a Norelco rotary user for the past two decades, so when the Arcitec series became available I was immediately smitten, primarily by its sleek design. However I was put off by their prices and the rather lukewarm reviews I was finding around the internet, so I held off buying one until Costco offered up the 1060X at an even better discount than their normal aggressive pricing, one that made it too irresistible to pass on. Plus, with Costco usually generous return policy, what could be the harm in trying one?

I admit that my initial shaves were not impressive. Getting a close shave meant prolonged shaving sessions, which if I were to be pressed for time would probably mean that I would be late for where I'd need to be...or would have had a pretty bad looking shave that day. But over the course of a week or so, I found I and my face and neck had gotten used to the 1060X...shaves were as good if not altogether better and smoother than what I had been achieving with my Norelco XL, and the shaving time was down considerably from when I first started using the Arcitec. All in all, I warmed up to the abilities of my 1060X.

That is until I let myself gather up a week's worth of growth. Whereas my Arcitec was now performing excellently against the daily stubble, it was totally lost against the long whiskers I had allowed to grow over the course of two weekends and the work week in between. Norelco rotaries have never performed all that well for me against growth like that, but they still managed to knock the whiskers off if given enough effort, However the 1060X manage to erase all that and redefine the word 'abysmal' with its less-than-meek efforts. Only after hitting areas on my face first with the trimmer could I use the rotary heads to finish the job. On that first occasion, I ultimately gave up on the Arcitec and pulled out the XL to finish that shave.

I still have the Arcitec and use it daily. It does give me an excellent shave in that role, and its battery performs brilliantly with a long charge life when compared to my older Norelco units. But as I am prone to do, when those times where I allow my whiskers to grow that next knock down shave will always be done (or at least started) with the standby XL. Not exactly a glistening endorsement, but then in my case such praise is not justified. But as long as I use my 1060X daily, it'll be a keeper. ...

Norelco Cool Skin Razor - 8040X

2009-10-03T15:25:00.001-07:00

... Norelco by Philips Cool Skin 8040x. I have used it for 2 weeks now. I have read the reviews but the design of the shaver was the deciding factor. It is simply one of the most elegantly design shaver of all. Pinnacle of industrial design. It is beautiful in every aspect of it.

Unfortunately, the design comes in at cost of usability. 1. unlike its cousins the razor head does not conform to your face. It does not move. I have tested it with other shaver same brand shavers and was impressed how the 3 head flex to conform to your face but this one is fixed. 2. Blade spins at very low rpm. I do not have any numbers but I can clearly tell the blade spins at far lower rpm then other shavers I am used to. 3. Razor surface is far less than other cousins. Because it had to leave the center of the blade empty to deliver the lotion where as other shavers have blades in the middle this model has empty spot in the middle of the each of 3 razor head.

Its lotion dispensing ability is very novel. I enjoy its cool smooth feel. Wet/Dry feature is fun too.

Its weakness adds up to not so close shave. Even after the shave I feel the hair on my face. So it just won't cut it as primary shaver. So I will be using it as on the go maybe at the gym. But it is very unsatisfying and I am compelled to return it. Use its 45 guarantee thing.. ...

... When I first got the Norelco Arcitec I was not very favorably impressed. I had been usint top-of-the-line Brauns for many years. But the more recent Brauns, using so-called "Gillette technology", did not give me a comfortable shave. They frequently pulled and even cut my face, especially when I had not shaved for 2 or 3 days. The Norelco is much more comfortable -- no pulling or nicking -- and has replaced the Brauns. The working area of the new Norelco is much larger than previous models, thus I can get a good shave more quickly. It is true, however, that the Brauns give a closer shave. But I now believe that "closeness" is an over-rated virtue, so I will use the Norelco to obtain a quicker and more comfortable shave. ...

No need to buy a different charger or a voltage converter when you travel, and it just might work on my face. Boy was I surprised. Not only did it work well, but it felt great after I shaved. I believe it is a true step-up for a blade shaver. The lotion not only makes my face feel great, but nicks and scrapes, or minor outbreaks on my face seem to disappear quickly with the lotion. You might want to buy this baby if you are a blade user or travel a lot. ...

2009-09-19T15:24:00.001-07:00

... The shave I get with this is fine, but be warned: The Norelco SpeedXL series has a built in blade life. Once Norelco thinks you need to change the blades (and they tend to think you should spend the $36 more often than you will want), the shaver disables itself.

The way it does this is that it turns on the "change blade" warning LED. And this LED uses so much power that it drains the batteries in just over one day. Worse yet, the shaver will not operate unless the battery is charged, so this results in a dead shaver until you replace the blades.

Way to go Norelco. I used to be a big fan. ...

Sonicare FlexCare Power Toothbrush

2009-09-13T14:18:00.001-07:00

... I've been using an older Sonicare model, the "Essence 5300" on which the switch was beginning to go out. I decided to upgrade to a Flexcare model and am very glad I did. The Flexcare has been a great improvement all around.

Pros:

-New Lighter, Slimmer Handle
This is probably the first thing you'll notice if you're coming from an older Sonicare handle, and it is a very welcome improvement. The FlexCare handle is small and feels much better in the hand than my old bulky 5300 handle. The unit is actually longer than my old brush, but that's not a big deal at all.

-New ProResults Brush Head system
The new heads are great. Sonicare moved the tuning fork from the head to the handle, which means smaller brush heads than on the old models. A 3 pack of the new heads is the same price as a 2 pack of the old heads, making them actually a better deal for a superior product.

-No More Crud in the Handle!
The biggest problem with my old brush was that old toothpaste/drool/water tended to collected in the space where the handle connects to the brush head. It would get all moldy and gross if you didn't clean it out regularly. Thankfully, this problem is completely gone with the Flexcare handles.

-Lithium Ion Batteries
I've waited a long time for Sonicare to upgrade from inferior NiCd batteries, and they finally have. With Lithium Ion, you don't have to worry about battery capacity decreasing over time, or a memory effect. The new batteries charge faster, too.

-UV Sanitizer Included
UV Sanitizers for toothbrushes are relatively new to the market, and a great idea. I always felt a little gross letting my brush sit out on the counter, even with the cover that comes with sonicare heads, and then putting it in my mouth. Scientists actually recommend that a toothbrush be kept 3 feet from the toilet due to "airborne particles" from the flush - yuck! A UV sanitizer will kill anything that might land on your brush, as well as things such as cold germs that might have come from your own mouth. Using the sanitizer is easy, just pop the brush head(s) in, press the green button, and wait for the UV light to kill the germs. I store my brush head inside the sanitizer until I need it next. The Charger is integrated with the sanitizer, although a separate travel charger is included.

-Quadpacer
This is basically a beep that goes off every 30 seconds while brushing, reminding you to switch to a new area of your mouth. It has appeared in previous models (not my 5300 though), and is nice if you'll use it, but I tend to go at my own pace as I focus more on problem areas in my mouth and less on others.

-5 Total Brushing Modes/Routines
There are 3 selectable "modes": clean mode: (2 minutes broken into 30 second segments), sensitive (a "gentler" clean mode) and massage (the brush pulsates for gum stimulation). Go Care Routine shortines the standard 2 minute clean mode to 1 minute, while Max Care is a longer, 3 minute cycle that includes both clean and massage mode. I set the brush on clean mode and tend not to use the other options, but some may find them useful.

-More Environmentally Friendly
Although buying a new product of any sort will always have a negative environmental footprint, these new brushes are better than the old models due to their Li-Ion batteries, reduced bulk, and lower waste in the smaller replacement brush heads.

Cons:

-Price
Let's be clear on this: a Sonicare toothbrush is a luxury product. You're paying a lot more up front, and you get to keep paying more every time you buy replacement heads. Surprisingly, heads for Flexcare units are actually a cheaper than the older models; you get 3 Flexcare heads for the same price as 2 of the old heads. The per head price is still several times what it would cost to buy a new manual brush; but for me the superior cleaning is worth it.

Noise
-Flexcare models are louder than older models. I'm not sure why this is, and supposedly vibration has been reduced in exchange, but the noise can be too much for some. The UV sanitizer also makes a quiet electric "hum" when plugged in with the door closed, even if the UV bulb isn't run.

-Buttons can be depressed while brushing
A couple of people have complained about accidentally hitting 1 of the 2 buttons on the handle while brushing. It hasn't happened to me, but for completeness I'll include this as a possible con.

Overall:

This brush is a vast improvement over my previous brush, and has fixed most of the problems I had without introducing any significant new ones. The fact that replacement brush heads are actually cheaper than on my old brush is a big plus. I highly recommend the Flexcare brushes as a great upgrade to any toothbrush, electric or manual, that you're currently using. ...

Norelco Cool Skin Razor - 8020X

2009-09-09T15:29:00.001-07:00

... I am a loyal Nivea customer for years, and I have used a Norelco electric razor for the last two years. When I learned that both companies have joined forces I was bought immediatly. From the very first try my shaving experience has been so satisfactory, and I can't wait until the third week to feel the true results. Finally that burn feeling after using a razor is gone, my face is smooth, refresh, and above all cooling/soothing feeling provides the comfort on a wet shave. ...

Philips Norelco 6843XL Reflex Plus Rechargeable Cord/Cordless Men's Shaving System

2009-09-08T11:46:00.001-07:00

... Norelco Electric Razor 6843XL

I've owned this "shaving system" for three months. Owning a shaving system makes me feel more advanced than owning an ordinary electric razor, and for the money it's a cheap way to feel good about oneself. I feel better paying $57.99 for a shaving system than paying $169.99 for a Shaving System Pro. As long as it works. So far, this works.

The ReflexPlus6 Rechargeable Tripleheader Shaving System (whew) is comfortable to use, rides the waves but doesn't jump the bumps or cut the corners (unless you lean on it). After using the system for only three months my wife says I've become kinder, gentler, smoother and milder of manner. (Use this testimonial to convince someone special in your life to buy the system for you. That way you'll get a free system, but you might have to be nice for a change, for a little while.)

I can't make a case for the carrying "case." I don't call it a case. I call it a bag. But I don't carry it any place, so I don't care. The carrying bag would be nice if you carried it inside a real case. Like a suitcase or guitar case. I wouldn't take it to the South Pole in any case. In that case I'd use embers from the camp fire.

I also don't know how 30 minutes of shave time is calculated. Even after the full 8 hours of charging I've only gotten an average of 17.61 minutes per charge, calculated over three charging periods which, for me, is about 7 close shaves per charge. That's fine with me. It's no big deal to plug the system in. Just don't call 17.61 minutes 30 minutes. It takes about 30 minutes for the green LED to indicate that the system is ready for 17.61 more minutes of fun. Why leave it plugged in for 8 hours anyhow, I figure, since it doesn't seem to make any difference, other than shorten the battery life. If you must, use it plugged in if the battery is dead, although the manual says that the battery won't last as long if used in this way.

As for the metallic blue "pizazz" mentioned in the Amazon description, well, maybe or maybe not. Mine came in two shades: silver and gray, more like myself. No pizazz for me, but plenty of sophistication.

I inherited my last Norelco and used it for ten years or so, replacing the heads once. I don't know how long it had been in use prior to my taking it over, the model number hasn't produced any search results. It finally broke. It was also a three rotary head razor (not system). It got the job done, but compared with this new system it was like mowing my face. That is to say, THUMBS UP for this shaving system. If it lasts one third of the time my last Norelco lasted, I'll be quite pleased. ...

Philips Norelco 6701X Cool Skin Lotion Dispensing Shaver

2009-09-08T01:46:00.001-07:00

... I hate shaving. I loathe it. It may be the worst part of being an adult male (which is, you know, not such a bad thing but still...) and I am fortunate that I really only have to shave a couple of times a week for work and such.

After reading the reviews here about a year ago, I went for it and bought the CoolSkin.

I decided that I would follow the instructions to the letter for the first couple of weeks. I shaved every day (horrible!!!) and then after about 10 days, something 'clicked' and it became an actual pleasure to shave.

It takes longer than using a conventional razor, but when you're finished, your face is smooth from the moisturizer and you have no more whiskers. Yay!

If you "let yourself go" for a bit and have longer whiskers, don't worry, it will still work. Don't hold the razor at the ends of the whiskers or it will simply PULL THE BEARD OUT OF YOUR FACE and no one except for a small yet vocal type of person wants that sort of pain in their life. Instead, begin shaving at the edge of the "beardline" and use slow, deliberate circles and you will achieve a nice, smooth, comfy shave.

Make sure you rinse the blades

Do it. You know you want it. Do it... ...

Norelco Cool Skin 7735X/7737X cordless shaver (factory reconditioned)

2009-09-07T15:33:00.001-07:00

... An easy to use, long battery life, three headed electric razor. I have two of them, one home and one for the road. I first started to take the charger with me but I can get a month of shaves on a battery charge. There is a warning light on the razor that lets you know when to charge. I found that out by accident. The green charging LED on my older one died. I was in the shower some time after that and the light came on again flashing red. I assumed that it needed charging. I bought the second one as a refirb. It was a great deal compared to the prices I saw for new ones. Don't buy these from the manufacturer's website, it is really a bad deal and their service is awful. The lotions available last a reasonable time, if you are not too generous, of course, that is a personal discretion item. A case, charger, brush comes with. The new one had a hand strap and a holder for spare Cool Skin lotion packs, neither of which are necessary. I do use the strap to hang the "shower" one, but could get away with a piece of string, if pressed. Very good shave if you run it over the same skin a few times. It will never give you the shave of a barber or a good razor unless you work at it. There is little if any skin abrasion. ...

Norelco Arcitec Electric Razor Replacement Head - RQ10

2009-09-06T14:18:00.001-07:00

... I have used Norelco shavers for many years. I purchased my Arcitec when they were first released and was pleased with the shave and over quality of the razor. My replacement heads have been a different story. Either they've change their manufacturing process, or they are reworking rejected or used heads. The body of the head has sharper edges and I'm writing this review with 3 ingrown hairs and a sore upper lip. I need to go over and over an area to get a shave and then it's sub-par.

Because of my investment in this razor, I am going to order another replacement head and just hope my last was one just slipped through their quality control or missed some part of the sharpening process. ...
