Philips Norelco HQ40/33 Shave on the Go Battery Razor

 (41 customer reviews)

I've used Braun shavers for about 20 years, and currently use a Series 7 Pulsonic. I travel quite a bit for work, and I like to pack as lightly as possible so the Braun Pulsonic usually stays at home. I have three different battery-operated Braun travel shavers that were made over the last 15-20 years, but I'm not completely happy with any of them. The latest PocketGo P-70 isn't bad--it actually might do my neck a tiny bit better than my Pulsonic--but I don't like using it for a full shave because it takes forever and doesn't do a very good job on my cheeks.

A few months ago I saw this Philips Norelco HQ40 battery shaver on Amazon and decided to give it a try. Man, I'm impressed! The little $20 Philips gives a great, close shave in a reasonable amount of time. As a bonus it is easier to clean with the little brush they give you than my PocketGo is. Since my last trip, I've started using the HQ40 at home on occasion, since I'm starting to think it gives me a better shave...Read more

I've been using this razor as my primary razor for over a year now. Battery life is fantastic! While shave may not be as close on first pass compared to a conventional razor, subsequent passes will provide a very close shave. It's very comfortable to use and will not pinch the skin or pull the hair like some foil types. It's also very quiet unlike most other shavers. I'm ordering another for travelling. You won't be wasting your money on this product!!!

This little shaver is quiet and works well. Its perfect to leave in the car for that 5 oclock shadow. No razor burn as with my old shaver. Battery power is a good benefit for my needs. Compact and looks good too.
