Philips Norelco 1150x/40 SensoTouch 2d Electric Shaver Review

The Philips Norelco 1150x/40 is not the best electric shaver. But at its price it may just be the best value electric shaver you can get. It’s a no-frills shaver with just enough of the features you need for a good shave but at a really great price. It gives a very good, close shave and the design of this shaver is really sexy with a somewhat futuristic vibe.

The grip is also really nice and has a rubber ridge along the side that makes it very comfortable to hold and stays secure in your hand even in the shower. It has a great quick charge feature which allows you to do a fast charge when the battery is flat and you are in a hurry. This should make those mad morning rushes to get to the office much easier.

Many electric shavers have difficulty with neck hairs because they tend to be rather thick and at a very sharp angle. Well this razor handles them just fine. The contour capabilities of the individual head rotors probably play a part here since they flex in and out quite a bit to adapt to your face.

The battery lasted more than a week in our tests and this is exactly what you want in a razor. It is a waterproof too so you can definitely use it in the shower if you are a shower shaver like me.

Cleaning the Norelco 1150x/40 is pretty simple. All you need to do is pull off the top plate and run water into the shaver head unit.

If you travel a lot the travel lock, head protector cap and pouch will keep it safe from damage while the base also does automatic voltage adjustment from 100 to 240 volts. This means you won’t need to carry annoying adapters that take up space.

On the down side it doesn’t seem to handle long hairs very well so you need to make sure you shave regularly with it to keep them short. The base is pretty large too so you will need some space on your bathroom shelf.

It is recommended that you shave half your face with shaving cream and the other half without to see what suits you best. Some people have found that after years of shaving with shaving cream that this unit works better for them without.

If you need a new electric shaver check out the Philips Norelco 1150x/40 from Amazon, who often have it at discount. Chances are it will be perfect for you if the price is within your budget.
