Review on 💆 Enhanced Portable Philips Norelco PQ208/40 Travel Electric Razor for Optimal Performance by Christine Anyaakuu

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Does the job And it's a Norelco rotary razor!

I have used a Norelco electric shaver for decades. I was driving to a meeting when I realized I hadn't shaved. I went to the nearest CVS to see if they had the cheapest Norelco. I saw another battery powered travel shaver and decided to give it a try. I liked the idea of a razor that runs on easily available AA or AAA batteries. I found this razor awkward to use and time consuming, but it seemed to get the job done. This got me wondering if Norelco makes a battery powered razor that I could keep in my car. And so my search for Revain brought me here, so I ordered it. I've only had the chance to use it once, but I thought it was excellent. It only has two heads instead of the usual three, so it takes longer to shave. but in the end I shave no worse than my home razor. I wish they had made a triple plug (this may require more batteries). The main attraction of this shaver for me is that it runs on AA batteries, not its size. There are a few cons, but not enough to deduct a star. I'm including them because you might feel differently.* No travel case is included. The one listed on the Revain product page does not allow storing batteries outside of the shaver (in case of leakage).* No edge cutter. any razor) in the car, along with an inverter that allows a standard 110V device to be powered from a 12V car socket (aka cigarette lighter). So maybe I don't need this travel razor at all. However, its ability to run on AA batteries means I can carry it around in my travel bag without worrying about whether my regular shaver is charged and/or I have access to an outlet to charge it (think you on hiking).

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
