Philips Norelco 7140XL Cord/Cordless Rechargeable Shaver
The 7140XL is one of Philips Norelco's low-cost cordless shavers. You can read some details at the company website.

However, the best guidance is probably at the Amazon.com website, with an extensive product description and a large comparison table of the various Philips Norelco models.

According to the product description:

* Precision Cutting System – Ultra thin heads with slots to shave long hairs and holes to shave the shortest stubble.

* Patented Reflex Action System – Automatically adjusts to every curve on your face for flexible, smoother shaving.

* Individually Floating Heads – Align the razor-sharp blades closer to your skin for exceptional closeness.

* Superior Lift & Cut Technology – Dual blade system lifts hair to cut comfortably below skin level. Stainless steel blades for comfortably close shaves.

* Simply Rinses Clean – Quick and easy!

* Power System – Rechargeable cordless/cord for use anywhere. Power LED, Battery Full and Charging LED Indicators. 8-Hour Full Charge for up to 30 minutes or 10 days of cordless shaving.


I have not been able to find online any independent, objective reviews of the 7140XL. However, sales sites like Amazon.com carry very useful consumer reviews. These often provide extremely practical guidance.

Here are excerpts from a couple of Amazon.com reviews:

* I bought this razor to replace a clunky Remington which had been a big disappointment. The Norelco is a breath of fresh air: it shaves very well, is nicely balanced in the hand, and is stylishly designed. It shaves tough spots-- like under the nose and around the adam's apple--effortlessly and comfortably. Being able to rinse it out after shaving is a nice bonus. Highly recommended!

* I was a Mach 3 turbo user until I got this shaver. I never knew that the the electronic shaver can shave almost as good as the best razor can do. And this is much more convenient for me as I do not have to wet my face and shave for couple minutes....The trimmer works very well, even for "down there", now I can keep all my body hair trimmed...The battery of this thing lasts for weeks and charging is fairly quick. Cleaning of the shaver is also very easy, all you need is hot running water. Entire shaver is water proof.
