Philips Norelco 7140 Cord/Cordless Rechargeable Shaver

This is a pretty glamorous shaver, but as I write, Amazon has it priced 20-30% higher than the more “efficient and advanced” Norelco 7240XL. Not that this one is expensive, but the 7240XL is an outstanding deal at present. Basically, the differences are purely external and cosmetic. The 7140 is blue, the 7240 is grey; the 7140 has a catch-as-catch-can grip, the 7240 has an ergonomic pistol grip. If you’re Hopalong Cassidy, the 7140 designer blue is your defense against the enemy of errant forestry; if you’re Neal Cassady, the 7240 is your “Further” for flying across the free and flagrant fields of stubble and heath.
[Footnote to the grandchildren of the boomers: "Further" was the psychedelic school bus Ken Kesey created for Neal Cassady's travels, celebrated by Tom Wolfe in "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" (like Norelco electric shavers, still selling quite briskly on Amazon after all these years. Moreover, unlike the hippies of the sixties, the Beatnik generation from whence Cassady came actually shaved!). Hopalong Cassidy (aka William Boyd), on the other hand, was a screen cowboy--a contemporary of Roy Rogers and Gene Autry, distinguished from them by his white hair matched to his white horse (whereas Trigger and Champion were colored). Also, unlike Roy and Gene, Hopalong didn't sing.]

It does not work like I thought it would. It leaves hair and you break out with irritation badly. I would not buy again. I will stick with a real razor.

This really has been one of the most disappointing things I’ve purchased through amazon. Major cons ::
(1)Shaving time is too much
(2)Shaves from the root(bad when someone wants to leave a little stubble). Doesn’t have any level setting for leaving a bit stubble.
(3)Even after spending so much time, doesn’t give a clean shave..leave a few hair here n there.
I bought this shaver with high expectations, but honestly I’ve been disappointed by the results. Not value for money.

La afeitadora Philips Norelco 7140XL es un excelente producto. Es liviana, fácil de manipular, fácil de limpiar y lo más importante, no tiene cables que entorpezcan su manipulación. En el primer uso, no presenté ningún tipo de irritación en la piel y el afeitado queda totalemnte al ras. Lo recomiendo con los ojos cerrados!
