Norelco 8240XL Men's Rotary Shaver

 (20 customer reviews)

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He's used electric razors his entire shaving life, and has used the Norelco
brand with very satisfactory results. This particular model has been a real "wow" for him! He gets an incredibly close shave
which he feels is even closer than before (even after a blade replacement on an older version) and is a very happy camper.
What a win-win! A man who enjoys shaving, and a wife who loves her freshly shaven man. :-)

There seem to be several identical shavers listed here. Mine does not have the low charge warning light.

I bought this and waited before using it. Just another Norelco. So what?

The what is the shave seems particularly close and VERY QUIET. I never thought Norelcos were loud compared to some foil models put out by Braun or Remington. (Moreover in my experience, I get closer shaves with a rotary.)

This has the light sound of a pretend toy shaver while delivering excellent electric shaver performance. Quite remarkable. Even hard-to-mow-down neck stubble vanished quickly.

If the noise of your shaver bothers you, try this Norelco (or models like it.)

This has the standard Norelco "clean under the tap" method, which to me is far prefgerable to some makers' refillable cleaner systems. I have one of those too, but I got tired of buying special razor cleaning cartridges every month or two.

This does not deliver "blade-close"...Read more

I tried electric shavers when I first started shaveng and they didn't work. They pulled, they hurt,they caused a rash. Now I am 70 and a friend recommended this Norelco. I was pleasantly surprised. It works great with no problems I had years ago. It is very comfortable, fast and smooth. Works great.
