Philips NorelcoShaver 2300 Rechargeable Electric Shaver with PopUp Trimmer, S1211/81

(ATTENTION LONG HAIR) I have long hair down to my waist, noticed razor pulls in my hairs occasionally while shaving. Then two rotors stopped working, when I opened the rotary Blades they were tangled and packed With long hair preventing them from Spinning. So if you have long hair open them up and check them regularly or keep your hair tied back while shaving. This is my first time using a rotary so I didn’t even even know this could happen. Other than that, this razor gives a beautiful shave, only need a light touch to your face, well worth the money, clean close and sharp.

Works well does a god job at a close shave

Shaving is always a challenge for me, and while it will be a few more weeks before I'm sure I think I've found a shaver that works for me.I'm a 60 year old male, with skin that is uber sensitive to shaving. I've struggled with it my whole life (well the post puberty part!). I've tried cartridge razors (from 1 to 6 blades) safety razors, one blade electric razors, foil shavers and rotary shavers like this one. All eventually leave me with razor bumps. I've tried growing a beard too, but I end up breaking out from that too. It isn't visible, but it is still painful.On to this shaver.I think I'm having better luck because they have moved away from their 'lift and cut' system. This shaver doesn't shave as closely as others I've used, but I can live with that if I don't get bumps. It is very quiet, light and easy to hold. I have to use a VERY light touch to avoid bumps, but if I do I have good success. I shave slowly, but even so it is quite a bit quicker than a wet shave.The shaver struggles a bit with the beard on my chin, it takes a couple of passes (again with a very light touch). A more expensive model with a stronger motor would probably be a bit more efficient, and if this continues to work well I might consider an upgrade in the future, but this one gets the job done.I have the best results using Lectric Shave first (and washing it off after). Occasionally there will be a hair the shaver won't pick up and I'll use attached trimmer to get that.I am glad the shaver will work plugged in. This was a feature that was one reason I selected this model. My experience with electric shavers is despite whatever 'warning' system they have they tend to poop out without warning. This one was no exception. The 'warning' light didn't come on until AFTER the shaver stopped. On the plus side I didn't notice any decline in performance until a few seconds before it died. Because it will work plugged in I was able to finish the shave with no difficulty.I shave my face, neck (front and back) and the top part of my head every day. I don't quite get 4 shaves from a full charge (though again I shave very slowly takes me about 10 minutes each time). But 3 full shaves is fine by me.If you want a BBS shave, this isn't the device for you, but if you are satisfied with a clean shaven look (no visible stubble at hand shake distance but they'll feel it if you kiss) and are troubled by bumps, give this a shot. Just remember not to press it harder against the skin to get it to shave closer (it will, but then you'll get bumps.)

Works quick though not as close as a razor

I switched away from an electric razor many many years ago because of razor-burn. I recently had a friend recommend this razor, especially for the price. I took a chance and I'm very surprised.They have obviously improved the cutting blade technology over the last 40 years! No razor burn. I forgot how quick and low mess/maintenance electric razors can be.

Works pretty well, you have to\ wash it after every use though to keep it lasting a long time. The battery life lasts a while but there's not really a good indicator of battery life, it just turns off. Just make sure you estimate when you should charge it. I shave every other night and charge it about once per week, sometimes every two weeks.

I've been using the razor for about 4 months. So far, so good. Even dropped it once on my ceramic tile bathroom floor, and it took the licking and kept on ticking. Can't say the same for the more sophisticated razor I bought last. Both gave very good, close shaves, but this simpler Norelco is studier.

First time in years my husband has used an electric razor and for sure one battery operated. He is in his mid 70’s, with Parkinsons Disease this has made shaving much easier and it is rechargeable. So easy to clean and if needed blades can be changed quickly. Charges quickly.
