Philips Norelco Shaver 2600, 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.

Good shaver. I'm not sure how my ex managed to lose this after a couple weeks, but it worked perfectly until then.

The razor arrived hermetically sealed in plastic packaging that was very hard to get open but once I got it open I looked at the razor, it came with a little bag to put it in and a charging cable. The bag it comes with is very flimsy it is not big enough to hold the charging cable just the razor. I plugged it in and let it charge up according to directions for about 8 hours or so and when the light went off I went ahead and used it, but not on my face on my head. The first thing I noticed was that it's very low RPM and the razor heads are very flexible as opposed to the older style Norelco razors, even though they flex they don't flex good enough to shave your head with comfortably, this razor does. When I finished shaving my head I opened up the cutting head and cleaned it up, this is accomplished by pressing a button located under the cutters and the cutting head is spring loaded, it can also be removed from the body by pulling up gently at the hinge. The cutter heads can be removed easily by removing the guard and carefully pop out the cutters for cleaning, or if you have an air compressor you can just blow it out. I let the hair on my head grow for 3 days and then shaved my head and this razor did an awesome job, I no longer have to use a bladed razor 🪒 again and that makes me happy and it only takes a few minutes. The charger cord is long but a single wire, not coiled like my 30 year old Norelco and that makes storage a problem. If you wrap it up as it came in the package it is hard to straighten out, so I have to use a twist tie to stow it in the drawer. I get 2 shaves from one charge and it charges fast. All in all it is a nice razor and easy to use, not sure it will last 30 years.

Works very well with a reasonably long battery run time but felt it should have come with the USB charging cord adapter included. Uses an easy to purchase / replace shaver heads, would recommend to any daily shavers!

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.

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.

Una gran máquina por un bajo costo, definitivamente Norelco no decepciona. La he probado en seco y usando espuma y si bien ambas formas son válidas y seguras para la piel, recomiendo muchísimo afeitarse usando espuma ya que se siente mucho más delicado y también hace que sea más eficiente el corte. En seco me afeité completamente en unos 10 minutos, mientras que usando espuma tardé 6, y tuve que retocar menos lugares al finalizar el corte.

Bought this to replace and older Norelco 2000-series shaver. Easy to clean with water from the faucet. I need only charge it every three or so days. Shave quality is super-smooth without irritation to my face.

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.
