Review (5/5): Great razor for a reasonable price
I bought this after my 10 year old Norelco's battery didn't last anymore. I usually leave my electric razor plugged into the wall, which is the reason I picked the 7140XL over the cheaper 7110X (which doesn't allow for corded-shaving).
The pros of my new 7140XL and my old model are:
- new razor seems to need less passes for a very close shave
- far quieter
- waterproof (don't plan on bringing it into the shower, though)
- the 3 shaving circles tilt and contour to your face instead of being 1 flat shaving surface
Cons:
- Cord is significantly shorter, so you'll end up placing the razor right next to your outlet to charge or use. It is about 1 foot in length coiled up (it's like a coiled telephone cord).
I would recommend this shaver.
