Philips Norelco Shaver 2400 Series, Wet and Dry Electric Shaver, Pop-up Trimmer, P-Cap, Deep Black, Model X3001/90

Have had for less than a month, and so far, this Norelco 2400 shaves amazingly fast and does not leave any patchy areas that I have to pass over again and again like some shavers require, like another brand rotary shaver that I just returned. Only once did I get this one to pull/snag a hair, but I was testing it by moving it crazy-fast over a several day hair growth, and finally made it do so. Otherwise, under normal use, it never snags hair. For several day hair growth, I probably should pass over my face first with beard clippers, but this does great on 2 or 3 day length hair. It probably doesn't shave as microscopically close as a foil, but it shaves close enough that I'm not using the foil shaver anymore. It also cuts the laid-down, longer hairs that a foil shaver cannot cut.

Excellent shaver. Very quiet and does an adequate job. I still need to use my Braun shaver for locations where I want a really close shave, but this shaver is much quicker and can handle the longer whiskers better (I don't shave every day).I'm very happy to see that it has a NiMH battery. Better battery than Lithium Ion when you have a high-drain application (like running a motor). Also charges much faster. When I was looking at shavers with Li+ batteries, I saw 8 hours charging for 40 minutes of use. This shaver with the NiMH battery charges in 1 hour for 30 minutes of use. And - yes - I did test that. I got 58 minutes to a full charge (from 0) and then ran it for 26.5 minutes. Close enough.Not to mention that Li+ batteries drained down to 0 (like, say, when your shaver accidentally gets turned on in your luggage), are damaged. NiMH batteries should be drained to 0 once in a while to help with longevity.In case you're wondering - I worked in an electronics testing facility for years. I ran tests on battery charging and discharging systems.

Good razor not great. Price is fair. Functions all work. My two complaints are: You have to purchase a power adapter to plug the usb cord into an electrical outlet. And motor feels week, I own an older Norelco that I use for traveling. It feels like it is more powerful.

Long time Harry's razor fan, but the Norelco razon has been great. Low cost and works very well as a wet razon. Simple to use and a lot less scrapes.No shaving cream required, just use plain soap and water.

This is the first electric shaver i've ever used so i can't compare but i think it does a great job. I don't have to fool with shaving cream or even wetting my face. I just run this over my face and i'm good to go. I find it works better if i hold it lightly over the skin. If i press down too hard, it doesn't shave as smoothly. And the shave is smoother than i thought i would get with an electric razor. Is it QUITE as smooth as i used to get with my old manual razor? Nope. Do i care? Nope. It's plenty close enough and i save a lot of time. For the price, it's well worth it.

This thing performs well and I could give it 5 star if it had Lithium Ion battery. But the power fades quickly like it uses NiCad or NmH obsolete battery tech. This is important because its like putting a VW engine in a Ferrari. It has the components for a powerful shave but the mfg doesn't let you have it. You get one good performance. The other thing is the trimmer is weak and cheesy. But I guess the mfg has to compete with 'me too' features without regard for people actually using the trimmer. I am really disappointed that I am denied more than one good shave. If I can't get the performance, the mfg does't get a better review.

After over five years of daily use with my old Philips shaver, I finally decided it was time for an upgrade — and the Philips Norelco 2400 Series has been a fantastic replacement.

It’s a solid choice whether you’re upgrading from an older Philips model or just starting with electric shaving.
