Review (5/5): The Best Shaver I have ever owned
I am 65 years old and have owned several electric shavers throughout my life but this is by far the best ever. I've had Schick's and Braun's and they have always given me a burn and I was not satisfied with the closeness of the shave. I have owned several older Norelco's, and with the floating heads they were comfortable, but still electric shaving wasn't close enough especially for formal outing, but I would use it for work. Over the years my batteries became weak so I decided to upgrade to the 8140xl. What a difference! Light as a feather, great improvement in the floating heads, comfortable enough to make shaving a delight, and a much closer shave. The water cleaning (though I still Prefer the old fashion way & clean with a brush), charging stand, looks and feel etc. are all additional perks, but the real quality in this machine is the close shave and comfort of use. Hats off to you Philips, I have no idea of how you can improve upon this shaver. Also, have been using it now for almost two weeks on a single charge and still going. Fantastic!!
