One of these is the Philips Norelco 8240, which is part of the Philips 8200 Speed-XL series that they offer. The shavers included in this series are said to offer fast and close quality shaves.

The Philips Speed-XL Norelco 8240 specifically has a lot of good reviews from the people using it. That is why many people tend to purchase it as well and experience the quality shave it gives. Among the very few mens electric shavers having similar features, you may experience a fast end effective shave at the same time with the Norelco 8240 in particular.

It gives its user a close shave, which basically means being able to shave even the shortest stubble of hair and so close to the skin's surface. The Norelco 8240 is able to let you do this, thanks to the dual blade system that can cut below skin level in comfort. Also, it is quiet when in operation. So, you get both safety and silence.

You should remember to keep the 3 shaver heads in close contact with your skin all the while to ensure that you get a fast end efficient shave. With flexible shaver heads, adjusting to every curve found on your face and neck is also another one of the things the Norelco 8240 can do. And take note, it does not give you razor burns.

The shaver heads are ultra thin and have slots to shave long hairs. It has an antibacterial coating inside that ensures that the shaver is rinsed clean in just seconds after its use. Not only that, the shaver's blades sharpen themselves after every use to give the user a clean and close shave all the time.

The life of its battery is long. The Norelco 8240 can hold a charge for several days, thus making it very convenient for travel use. But, the downside to it is that the shaver does not have a battery indicator to warn you if it already has low battery power. Though, the case of the product is reported to be flimsy, and the brush to be used for cleaning is too small for comfort.

Nonetheless, it is recommended by almost all of those who have already tried using it because of the quality of shave it can give. It is easy to use, it cuts through hair fast and close, and it gives you a satisfactory and best shave. Even though its price is a bit high compared to other mens electric shavers, you are ensured that you get the value of what you are paying for through the result that you get after using it.
