I love this razor!! I don't know where to begin... this razor is by far the best electric razor I've owned. It gives a close shave and seems to get every single hair on my face. I don't have to go over the same spot multiple times to get those straggler hairs that never seem to get picked up by my other razors. It's quiet, and I love the trimmer on the back - it actually works. I have an older Norelco Architect and this is definitely a big step up.
I also love the cleaning/charging station that's included. It's really nice to be able to put the razor in the dock, push a button, and have it clean and charge itself. Amazing. 5 starts all the way, I don't have a negative thing to say about this razor.

A close shave but pricey!
Love the shaver, hate the fact that it cost more than twice as much as my last one.

I waited until I had this razor over 3 months because many reviews claim the battery will not hold a charge after about that long. My razor holds a charge just fine.

I have gifted this to two people and both love it. One uses it daily, the other uses it every 2-3 days. Saves on the constant dulling of regular razors. Easy to clean!

I was very hesitant to buy another electric razor from past disappointments. However, after shaving with a blade for the past 8 years, I have to say that this electric razor has given me the best shave of its kind ever. Using it wet or dry (with pre-shave lotion) works eqaually well and the Jet Clean feature works incredibly well. You can't go wrong with this razor.

My last Philips Norelco electric razor was also from drugstore.com and I was happy with it, and I've been loyal to Philips Norelco for years after trying many others that didn't compare nearly as well. While my other razor was fine, I wanted something fancier. I opted for this top-of-the-line razor and I'm super happy with the purchase. I can shave quickly, enjoying a knick-free wet shave for the first time with an electric razor. It's fast and quiet. I don't have the problem with the contours of my face around my jaw line anymore. I also shave my head with it. I really like the cleaning unit, as it's efficient and keeps the razor spotless and shiny clean. I don't think the cleaning unit takes up too much space; it can actually be hidden away under the sink or somewhere when not in use, so it's not like it's a permanent part of the vanity. I also have sensitive skin, and this razor gives me a smooth, close shave without discomfort. My beard is tough and grows in every direction, so it's nice to have a razor that can tackle that easily. I was hesitant to pay the higher price for a razor, but I'm so very glad I did. Besides that, drugstore.com is fast, reliable and has good customer service.

I have used Norelco shavers for years, this one is the best to date. I have sensitive skin and it works fr me.
Comments about Philips Norelco Shaver 8700 Model 1250X/42, 1 ea:
I bought it for my husband. He said the shave was so much closer than with the old razor that his skin was a bit irritated at first. Norelco warned about it, and it did stop after a couple of weeks. He is able to get out of the house much quicker and the shave is so much better.

I got this as a gift for my boyfriend for Christmas. I was so nervous about spending a chunk of money on it but it's really been worth it. He absolutely loves it and how easy it is to use. It's also really effective in giving a close shave.
Service and delivery comments:
Everything arrived in perfect condition and was shipped faster than the website stated it would.
For best results, replace shaving heads with RQ12 replacement heads every 12 months. Replace the Jet Clean fluid every month with HQ200 Jet Clean solution.
Philips Norelco SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor
– It’s time to evolve your shaving routine for the 21st century. The Philips Norelco SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor is like no other you’ve ever used: an advanced shaver that hugs your facial contours with the utmost precision to ensure totally close and clean grooming.
After all, a shoddy shave simply won’t do. The last thing you want to worry about is some stubborn patch of outlaw facial hair - or enflamed, unhappy-looking skin irritated by a mediocre razor. You’re also probably not keen on spending a half-hour or more at the mirror, laboriously working the razor to get a clean-cut look that - with the right tools - should be quick and hassle-free to achieve.
You’ll be feeling confident if the shaver you’re reaching for in the morning is the Philips Norelco SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor. The ability of this state-of-the-art razor to track the terrain of your face - without undue wrist and hand gymnastics on your part - comes courtesy of the refined GyroFlex 3D head design. This makes for a tight and flexible shave, resulting not only in a cleaner finish but also less chance of aggravation. The razor’s UltraTrack construction also bolsters the thoroughness of your shave: The heads include three different tracks - slots, channels, and holes - to catch and cut not only normal standing hairs but also those long and flattened strands and minute stubble. Patented Super Lift & Cut performance painlessly tugs hairs up so they can be cut below the skin level, a benefit you can literally feel as you stroke your cheeks and chin post-shave. The Norelco SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor from Philips isn’t just easy on your face: it’s also ergonomically constructed to fit and move comfortably in the hand. The anti-slip grip of the handle gives you more control and confidence, while the flexibility of the heads means you don’t have to strain or adopt odd positions to tend to hard-to-reach areas. Other features include a precision trimmer for accurate facial-hair shaping, the option of both a dry and wet shave, and the automatic Jet Clean system, which makes sure the blades are cleaned and lubricated and the razor’s battery charged following each use. The Philips Norelco SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor clearly indicates its current status with displays for battery level, charge, and head-cleaning and replacement. Say goodbye (and good riddance) to the days of sloppy, painful, and time-consuming shaves. The Philips Norelco SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor does the job right the first time, giving you the sleek and refined look you want without the headaches.
