Philips Norelco Shaver 2600 Series, Wet and Dry Electric Shaver, Pop-up Trimmer, P-Cap, Travel Pouch, Dark Forest Green, Model X3052/91

Some have complained these shavers are weak, but they're probably used to those foil lawnmowers - they make a lot more noise and can vibrate like an old truck, but they don't shave any closer or faster. The blades on this one seem to spin slower than earlier models, but I still get a great shave just running it over my face gently and slowly. And the trimmer's good for sideburns and light edge work. Don't let the quiet fool you. The spindles that turn the blades have a loose connection, so don't clean aggressively (as you can with foil mowers). Just use a light brush, and use it lightly. UPDATE: After several weeks I find myself impatient with the speed, and the need to recharge twice a week. But if you take the time, it does shave closely. Update: after a few months, it still shaves close, but it does require patience. The big foil lawnmowers are faster. Update 2: gave up on it. Charge lasts 2 days, and always takes 10 minutes to shave. Replaced it with a foil-head lawnmower that does the job quick.

This Norelco shaver replaced one that was more than fifty years old. It gives the best shaves I have ever had--comfortable and close. Frankly, I was surprised at how much it exceeded my expectations.

Great product and keeps charge for a long time..shaves close to skin and a great value for $$

Bought this 2600 model after ancient HQ8 (now SH50) "lift and cut" razor battery stopped charging. Was concerned about new "comfort cut" SH30 blades but didn't want the higher-end model "features" like sharp edges that don't fit under your nose, charging stands that take up your vanity space, and detachable rather than built-in trimmers. Picked the 2600 as the battery specs were better. After using for 6 months I can report that the cheaper SH30 blades work fine, but also that the SH50 blades from my old razor fit so I can upgrade if I want to. Charges in 30 minutes and runs for a week. If I don't notice the blinking red light after shaving one day and it runs out the next it only takes a couple of minutes of charge time to finish the job (but it will not run while plugged into the charger). The USB charging cable is great for travel. The lid stays on tightly enough that I haven't used the travel case. If buying today would also consider the 3600 but not sure the 5D pivot action would be useful.

Bought this to replace an older model I left behind at a hotel during a trip. Normally shave in shower with 5-blade razors but use electric for travel. Decided to try out my "new" Norelco. This is not a top of the line shaver. It pefroms so close to the wet shave that I have decided to "go green" and stop using all that energy wasting hot water. I have a heavy beard and shave daily so the very small amount of "finger roughness" of the electric is neglible compared to the "finger smoothness" of wet shaving. The rotary blades do a better job of neck areas than the wet 5-blade for me. Even if the replacement blades are pricey, my old ones lasted for several years of daily shaving before needing replacement. Things appear to have gotten better with this razor. I am 74 and these rotary blades could outlive me!! If you are looking for a reasonably priced and adequate electric shaver, this make and model works. A higher end model may even work better. 5 Stars.

My reference point is an old Norelco model I had before. Higher model number, but from years ago. MAIN FUNCTION - Cutting is unremarkable, and maybe slightly subpar. Same or worse than an older model I had before, which still had the original blades after years. - It's bulky. The awkward head/top makes it more difficult to reach some areas. - The flip-up trimmer cuts really poorly. Much worse than what I had before, and not talking about thick hairs. 2NDARY CONCERNS - It's designed unsmartly. The button to open the top for cleanup is positioned on the front, where it's sometimes accidentally pressed while removing the protective cap. - The top mechanism's plastic feels a bit cheap. The springy action isn't as smooth as the machine I had before. - More difficult to clean than the older model I had. The trimmings collection compartment is made of deep irregular nooks and crannies. - Doesn't come with a brush. Really? - Does come with a very thin pouch thing, but it's too thin to protect from trauma. I'd rather they instead included a brush. - No real charge level indication. Only blinks when it's about to deplete completely. - The adapter's output is 15V. Not standard voltage like 12V. OKAY - The only thing better than what I had before: the internal mechanism to hold/lock the 3 blades seems less likely to get opened by accident while cleaning up the trimmings. - The power adapter is decent. Long enough cable, not too flexible but at least a decent sheath material that I'm guessing will last. Not twirly (unsure if that's a pro or con). GENERAL One reason I chose it is that I wanted a machine that can work powered by mains even when/if the battery can no longer hold charge. No way to verify it so far, but the specs made it sound like it should. The battery-dependency is the main failing of the old shaver I had. (Couldn't find a suitable battery, otherwise I would've kept it. And what's up with battery replacement needing soldering?) In summary, if I didn't know better I might think it's a copycat design. And while this one's not expensive, "real copycats" are probably still cheaper, and who knows, might perform better.

For the price is a great deal and worked very well

Well made with plenty of battery power to last all week. Plenty close for me , some women complain no matter how close you shave. I have tried the cheap ones and they don't compare to the quality of a Norelco easy to clean drys fast so you can just rinse after use. This is so much better than the silly 1 headed cheap one. This company has been making these razors for over 50 years.

Best shaver I have owned in 50+ years! Shaves so much better than any competitor!

Muy buena rasuradora

Excelente marca en rasueadoras

It works fine but the head seems a little loose to me. I am used to a more solid feel from a Philips shaver.

Shaving and it works well.
