I bought this Philips Rechargeable Shaver
for my brother-in-law as his Father’s Day gift last year. His old, cheap, noisy, corded one was getting too much for him to handle. He was so glad with this personal replacement.
He was skeptical about being able just to rinse it under hot water, but that works just fine. According to my brother-in-law, if you want a good battery electric shaver and don’t want to spend a lot for features you might not need or want, this Philips Norelco 7140XL Cord/Cordless Rechargeable Shaver
will do the job.
The internal battery is NiCd. This type of battery has “memory” to it, which means for optimal performance, the battery should be fully drained before you recharge it. Otherwise, the life of the battery will slowly shorten until the battery is useless.
I am going to introduce a few more Father’s Day gifts to you after I finish searching for a Cat5e patch cable for my hubby.
