Philips Norelco 7140 Xl Rechargeable Shaver By Olin Froid on Sep 27, 2007 - Updated Sep 18, 2011

The Philips Norelco 7140XL rechargeable shaver is a great cordless shaver that I recently received as a present for my birthday. This rechargeable shaver is very easy to use, once charged I found it ready to use right away. the 3 blades gave me a nice clean, close shave that I am happy with overall. The blades and inside chamber clean easy after each use, they wipe off with ease and a brush, or if too caked on you can rinse it with water and set it out to dry. I find that it dries rather quickly. The charge time is less than 4 hours, and this is more than quick enough for me, I usually use it after a night charge. My only complaint with this unit is the grip. If the base/handle is slightly wet, it is hard to handle and get a good hold of-so be careful if you also wash and shower first that you can keep a strong grip on it. Overall, I really found this shaver to be a great gift and useful tool.
