Philips Norelco Portable Electric Shaver, Black

Norelco uses a rotary blade system that doesn't cut quite as close as a foil shaver but the foil is extremely fragile and bends easily as mine did, so I went with the rotary type, and it is much more sturdy design. But NO electric razor, foil or rotary will cut as close as a blade, I don't care what the advertisements say, there is always very minor stubble but you can't see it, but you can feel it if you brush your hand against the grain, so you have to be aware of that going into an electric razor. For best results ideally you should shave in the AM and PM if you need to look your best all day because this is a small travel dual rotary design it won't cut as close as a full size triple or 5 foil razor will nor will it cut as fast as those others due to only having a dual blade system.. I get pretty good results using Cremo because Cremo is a thinner style cream vs others so it won't clog up the razor and it allows closer contact with the skin, plus it's the slickest of all the shaving stuff on the market so the head speed does not slow down which again assists in cutting closer. Cremo also lasts a long time, all I need is a pea size drop, so a 3 oz bottle that is legal for air travel will last for a least a month. I read a comment complaining he was getting nicks, I can't figure out how that is even possible, those blades are behind the rotary guard, it's impossible to nick yourself. Most complaints is simply people who don't know how to use an electric razor. I gave it 5 stars because it is compact, not as compact as a Panasonic single foil one I had, but it was not built as well as the Norelco, and they both seem to cut about the same closeness. Of the two the Panasonic felt rougher to me. But the portableness of the Norelco is good enough, and the quality is higher than the Panasonic, along with the supposedly 60 days of shaving on one charge which means I don't need to carry the charging cord when I go traveling, just charge it before I go, combine all of that with the price and it's pretty decent solid shaver.

I've been using Norelco triple-head shavers for decades and love the product. I purchased this item for travel, trusting the Norelco brand. Now, after several trips, each a week or more, I can say this shaver deserves the Norelco label. It's small, solid, fits well in the hand, has great battery life, and shaves almost as good as a triple-header. Where this shaver struggles a little is where the beard is heavy and on the curves around the chin and jawline. It still shaves close but requires more passes with the shaver due to the reduced cutting range and effectiveness of two heads. Nevertheless, if you're willing to patiently add another minute or two to your morning shave, there's no problem. It's certainly more than adequate for travel. Oh, and the battery life deserves a second mention. Good job Norelco.

The Philips Norelco Compact Portable Men’s Travel Electric Wet & Dry Facial Shaver is a handy little device that’s great for traveling. Its small size makes it easy to toss into a bag without taking up much space, which is a big plus for me. In terms of performance, it shaves okay. I’ve found that I have to pass over the same areas a few times to get all the hair, but it does eventually get the job done. I specifically bought this shaver because I tend to get razor burn easily, and while it’s been somewhat helpful in avoiding irritation, I’ve had issues with nicks and small cuts, which is disappointing for a product meant to be gentle. Overall, it’s a decent option if you’re looking for something portable and functional, but don’t expect a perfect shaving experience. It’s good for quick touch-ups while traveling, but I wouldn’t rely on it for everyday use.

Category Ratings: * Performance: (5/5) * Shaving Quality: (4.5/5) (occasionally misses a few hairs) * Portability: (5/5) * Compact: (5/5) * Battery Life: (5/5) * Weight: (5/5) * Shaving Depth: (5/5) * Shaving Time: (4.5/5) (may need an extra passes) This little shaver honestly surprised me: I liked it so much I ended up buying a second one just to keep in my car. It’s perfect for travel: super compact, lightweight, and still powerful enough to give a clean shave when you need it. The battery life is impressive, and the included case makes it easy to throw in a bag or glove compartment without worrying about damage. The only minor downside is that it can miss a few hairs here and there, so you may need to go over certain areas a couple of times. Also, if the case had a small mesh pocket inside to hold the charging cable, it would be pretty much perfect. Overall, for portability and convenience, this is a great pickup, especially if you want something reliable on-the-go.

This stopped working after 5 months

Only drawback is the lack of a sideburn trimmer, otherwise it gives a comfortable Norelco shave. Takes a bit more time as it only has 2 rotary heads vs. 3 for a full size razor, but the battery life has been very good so far.

This Philips portable travel shaver is a great little traveling companion! It's compact, lightweight, and gives a decent shave. It won't replace your electric shaver for daily use, but it's great for touching up while traveling. As other reviews have mentioned, the only drawback is the supplied charging cord, which is terminated in a proprietary Philips connector. This means having to carry around yet another charging cable. This is a problem common to all Philips rechargeable shavers, however, there is a solution! I found a 5V Type-C shaver adapter charging converter by Yinke on Amazon which has a standard female USB-C on one end and a Philips connector on the other, allowing you to use any garden variety USB-C cable. It's small and will fit inside the shaver's travel case. Yinke also makes charger adapters in various voltages for other electric shavers, and I have one for my Philips 9000 shaver as well. Works great and lets you finally "cut the cord!"

Good shaver, however it requires its own proprietary UBS plug. Everyone else uses a USB-C. If it had one, I'd have bought it.

I just received the Philips portable shaver and tried it for the first time. I was genuinely surprised by how well it performed. It gave me a smooth, comfortable shave, and its compact size makes it perfect for travel or keeping in the car. If it continues to perform this well over time, it will definitely be one of my best purchases. Based on my first experience, it deserves 5 stars!

As the name suggests. before time delivery. Class one product.

So happy with it
