Customer Reviews

7240XL exceded expectation
For background information, I have used Norelco rotary razors for the past thirty years, my last was an 850RX. Have used the 7240XL for two weeks. Did hours of web research before buying.

Positives:
1. Shaving: Very smooth, fast, close. No razor burn. Blades conform easily to my angular features without needing to stretch skin. Note: for best results do not press against skin. A lighter touch works better. Shaves two day old beard as easily as one day old. Shaved longer hairs on neck without pulling. Trimmer is equally effective.
2. So quiet I though it was defective, until I used it to shave.
3. Easy to clean with tap water or brush. Stands upright on counter without need of a base.
4. Shape provides a good grip regardless of how it is held.

Negatives:
1. Shape may take some getting used to, but personally has not been a problem. (See "4" above)

Summary: As the title says, the 7240XL exceeded my expectation

close shave, easy to use
This shaver can do a job almost same as the razor blade. At the area around mouth, it does a great job, if you let it go through a few times, also stretch the skin little bit, it does a clean cut as good as razor blade.

At the area near the ears, it does not work as well as razor blade. So do not toss out the razor blade yet.

It does a very close shave like razor in most part of the face, compared to other electrical shaving systems I have.

Better than the more expensive Norelcos
This razor is a good value. I tried Norelcos' more expensive model with more cutting blades, but didn't like it and returned it (to Norelco, not Amazon). One of my peeves on some models is tripping the on/off button because of it's placement. This model is better that way because you can hold it many different ways. My favorite is still the top of line black Spectra, which charges super fast and has an incredible battery life (132 minutes on my display). This razor uses the same cutters as my Spectra, which was one of the reasons I got it.
