Philips Norelco 7310XL Men's Shaving System, Walmart.com exclusive

I bought this shaver thinking I was buying a high quality shaver. The heads on the shaver came off numerous times. I was able to snap the thing back together once. I'm not satisfied with the shaver because of it falling apart on me. Also, it wasn't keeping a charge for very long.

I have had Norelco razors in the past, none were as bad as this one. It does not shave close like the previous razors did. Also, the motor seemed to run very slowly. Maybe it was this particular razor, I don't know. I had a Braun that was a much better razor,but they have increased the price, so I thought I would go back to Norelco. Bad idea. I returned the razor.

I needed a shaver, so I sorted by most recommended and chose a lower priced model. I read the reviews and was told that this shaver sounds like the batteries are dead and it is running at a slower speed than older shavers. It turns out that a slower speed may be better. It's quiet, not hot and cuts even my heavy beard. Glad I read the reviews. A good value for a medium price.

I'm one of those guys who can't see spending $100 for a razor with a fancy name and racing stripe that really does not do any better job of cutting off my face hair. If the blade is sharp and it turns the job will get done. The shave from this razor is adequate- really no closer or better than I got from my last similar style Remington razor which was about 4 yrs old- and I never replaced the razor heads on that one. Norelco says that you should replace the razor head every 12 months. At a whopping $34 to replace the heads alone or $41 to replace the entire shaver with new heads I will not be buying any replacement heads soon - just wear it out and by a whole new unit every few years. Also this unit has an LED light to show when it is charging - which is NOT needed as I know it is recharging as I plugged in to the wall. What it DOES need it a light to show low battery so you know when to recharge in advance of it stalling on you when you are late for work and don't have time to let it recharge.

This razor shaves really good. When it's time for me to shave under and around my sideburns, it BARELY works. It won't shave anything. I hear it working, but it doesn't get a close shave at all. I have to use a regular razor and shaving cream in order to shave around my sideburns and goatee, and under my nose. The actual razor is good, but before you buy this, just remember the side trimmer hardly works.
