Norelco/Philips 8260XL Rechargeable Cordless Speed XL Series Shaver Review

My husband is a hairy man. He is a hairy man and is lazy when shaving his face. When he does shave, he takes a long time to finish; around ten minutes. So I decided it was time I looked for a faster way for him to shave. I was intrigued by electric shavers on the shelves of the specialty stores I visited. I also saw these types on television advertisements. I looked around more and saw that the higher end products were so expensive. So I asked around and told them I wanted to purchase the mid-end shaver. The kind store assistant led me to Norelco / Philips 8260XL Rechargeable Cordless Speed XL Series Shaver. She said that the Norelco / Philips 8260XL Rechargeable Cordless Speed XL Series Shaver came with a base station that doubled as a charger and a cleaner. The base station also lubricated the shaving heads when it is being cleaned. She said in a nutshell that all you have to do is put the shaver on it and walk away. That last sentence sealed the deal! Therefore, I bought it having in mind that I can return it if I am not satisfied with the product.

When I got home, I charged the unit overnight. I also read the manual of Norelco / Philips 8260XL Rechargeable Cordless Speed XL Series Shaver to make sure I knew how to use it. It turned out to be simple to use. Just turn it on and shave in a circular manner. That's all there is to it. I also read that the Norelco / Philips 8260XL Rechargeable Cordless Speed XL Series Shaver needed only 1 hour to charge. It also mentioned that the LED display in the body of the Norelco / Philips 8260XL Rechargeable Cordless Speed XL Series Shaver shows the remaining shaving minutes. This means that I'll be able to know when to charge the unit. However, one caveat of the Norelco / Philips 8260XL Rechargeable Cordless Speed XL Series Shaver is that it cannot shave very thick facial hair. You must trim it first before you use it. This, however, is not a hindrance. Just use the Norelco / Philips 8260XL Rechargeable Cordless Speed XL Series Shaver everyday and you won't need to trim it. I was excited!

When morning came, I took a shower and used the Norelco / Philips 8260XL Rechargeable Cordless Speed XL Series Shaver. I was surprised on how fast I finished. Just roll it around and done! Cleanup was easy. You can put it on the dock and let it clean itself or just rinse the head by opening the blade area. I chose the rinse so that I won't waste precious cleaning fluid. Which brings me to another point for the Norelco / Philips 8260XL Rechargeable Cordless Speed XL Series Shaver? The cleaning fluid runs out and must be replaced. The shaving head also wear out and must be replaced once in a while. When it is to be replace depends on your shaving habits and use of the Norelco / Philips 8260XL Rechargeable Cordless Speed XL Series Shaver.
Overall, it is a must buy! I highly recommend it for the lazy shavers out there.
