Surprise! I like the Personal Comfort Setting.
After a couple of years of Braun, I was ready to switch back to Norelco. I picked this shaver because of the deep discount, figuring that the Personal Comfort Setting gismo was just a marketing ploy. But I find I really do like it. At the "sensitive" setting, I am able to shave with a very light touch, an experience I prefer to the "normal" setting. And I like the Norelco MUCH better than the Braun.
bellybomb
I have bought several shavers from Norelco, how ever this model had a weaker cut than other models I have owned.
Meets or exceeds my expectations
This is by far the best shaver I've ever owned. It's quiet, nicely designed, provides a close shave, comfortable, and works for weeks on one charge (I'm on day 15 for one charge). It has just the features I want(cleaning under the faucet, sensitivity levels)and no more. If you like Norelco, this is the one to buy.
GREAT
My Electric Shaver was everything I wanted. I saved so much money, great service, great product, and got here quicker than expected.. Thank you, I'll shop with you again..
Great Electric Shaver
[[ASIN:B00006K0X1 Philips Norelco 8825XL Spectra Rechargeable Cord/Cordless Men's Shaving System]] This is the best shaver that I ever had. It does a great job & gives you a very close shave. It doesn't leave your face with a razor burn. I like a very close shave & this gives me what I want.
Simple and Short
The first week using this product it wasn't great, but as the directions say-it will take a week or so for your facial hair to adjust to it. After that I have had no complaints. I must have used it 40 times before having to recharge it the first time.<br /><br />This razor is greatly improved from the older model that I used. This is a great deal!
So far so good!
I have had this product for only one month. As of now, I am delighted. It handles well, shaves closely, and holds the charge for a week. I have had Philips product for many years, and this is a good one.
Norelco replaced my old Braun
I just got my first Norelco model 8825 XL, after 7 years using a Braun 4501. I considered these two brands the top in the electrical shaving industry. In some aspects I founded the Norelco reigning over the Braun and in other aspects the Braun is much better. So, the question you should ask yourself is what type of hair are you trying to shave?<br />Let first look at the Norelco series:<br />The different between the Norelco's Spectra (8000 series), Quadra (7000 series), Advantage (6000 series), and the Reflex (5000 series) is one major feature added to each series. The Reflex sports the basic "Lift & Cut" system. The Advantage is the same but include a lotion dispenser. The Quadra's "Lift and Cut" system has two types of head with a slot and hole. The Spectra series has what the Quadra does, but include a comfort control. Both the Quadra and Spectra don't have lotion dispenser. There are also more special features that can be found in each series by looking at the 2nd digit. For example the Spectra 8894 have a digital screen where the bare-bone lower number Spectra 8825 have just a green light.<br />The performances, Norelco vs. Braun:<br />I have soft hair in the beard area and thicker hair around the lips (mustache and chin area). The Norelco does a superior job in the beard area; it cut it clean with a couple of strokes. When using the Braun (older model 4501), I sometime have to use a long trimmer and then go back over with the coil. The Norelco three individual heads move over the sides of the face a lot better. Braun does do a superior job over the mustache area. It coils has more and bigger holes then Norelco. The Spectra with it dual slot and hole head is good but takes longer time to cut down the thicker stub. The old Braun battery (NH-) is dying on me. Norelco battery (NiCd) is replaceable and you use it charged or just plug and play, which the Braun could not do. Overall, I prefer the Norelco's design.<br />The features I like:<br />I am still playing with the Personal Comfort Control and am not sure if it is necessary. The more sensitive the level is the long it takes to cut so far. The long hair trimmer is great, but that is almost standard in most models, but not the Advantage's Series. Plug and play is great, since I don't travel every day. Cleaning is simple; just rinse it in the sink. I like the solid construction the Norelco's design is, the rotating machine is fun to use and is very smooth.
