For me and the person who recieved it as a gift, this one was the best. It had tge features we were interested in. As to your question, that is hard to say, as I don't know what your preferences and/or desires are.Silly question, silly answer.

Wow...tough question. i am scott, account in my wife's name. was able to get this at a great price as the three d versions are everywhere and i wanted the cleaning base.go to the Phillips site and you can view all the models. Costco has a great price on a 3d model with no cleaner also. My face is more round than angular and i also read the 2d is better for my kind of face. Plus i can always replace the razor head with a 3d after a year.I was a wet shaver and used an old school saftey razor. That said, i couldnt be happier.sorry for the delayed response.scott Wow...tough question. i am scott, account in my wife's name. was able to get this at a great price as the three d versions are everywhere and i wanted the cleaning base.go to the Phillips site and you can view all the models.

A search for "norelco 8040x" in the Amazon search window yielded: "Norelco HS85 Replacement Heads For Shaver Model 8040X" I would try those.

I'm not sure since I'm asian. Asian hair is thickest and straightest, whereas african hair is thinnest and curliest. The problem with asian hair is that it may grow in a direction that the shaver is not going. The Norelco works because the three floating heads can go in any direction. This model is really good because the head pivots as well so it really doesn't matter which direction the hair going in. I also have very sensitive skin and can't really use a razor which takes off a layer of skin. That's why I like the norelco design. It doesn't hurt the skin and it still shaves very close.

Because it is new, trendy and funky looking and people will pay this much for all of these qualities. I've had both the old XL and the new Arcitec and the XL is a way better shaver hands down. If I wanted to have something to look good in my bathroom I would buy this. Another thing the older Norelco XL Models are outselling these models hands down.

Yes.... I have used the Norelco Shaver Cleaner on both Braun and currently on my Panasonic shaver. After I clean both the foils and the cutting blades, I dry them and spray both top and bottom. It has worked very well for me and given longer "sharp life" to the razors.....hope it helps.

The Norelco doesn't need razor parts. My last Norelco lasted for 7 plus years and it still gives me a shave.Nevertheless, it is not a sharp as it used to be. I gave it to my wife and bought this new one. Norelco suggests that you order new heads every year for a sharp cut. Cost for new head is $20.

Absolutely! I have many different electric shavers over 60 years and each one is improved using Mennen Afta Pre-Shave.My most recent shavers are Remington and Panasonic (xmas gift) and I am pleased with Afta

I am not a shaver expert. My last Norelco shaver lasted 22 years, and I bought this because it was an update but similar to the old one. And I tried the ones with the larger, more flexible heads, and they were not an improvement for me. So all I can say is that this works really well - the battery technology has really improved and lasts a very long time for me, and the quality control of the shaver seems excellent.

Philips Norelco HS85 Nivea for Men Shaving Replacement Head , unfortunately replacement heads cost more than the razor. I bought 2 of these for that very reason!

I have always had a Norelco rotary shaver. Just purchased another and had bought one over 5 years ago. Have used many times not religiously every day but fairly often. Never have replaced blades!!!!!!!!..... had my units serviced or tuned up where they clean the motor or armature etc. Love these shavers.... If you use every day over straight razor you will get a closer shave or as close a shave. The new lubricating razors I like. Bought one for my son and it really soothes your face.

The shaver works either way, but plugged in it seems to have a little more power. I switched to Braun after being a norelco rotary user for years but it was not cutting my neck hairs and the cutter heads were too expensive. You get a carrying case, little cleaning brush, a little bottle of oil, the cord, and the operating instructions. A very good razor for the money!!

I'm just trying to find my husband a descent shaver. Can anyone suggest a good one? It doesnt have to be anything really great. Just something reliable that will hold up and do the job for a few years.

I use a Philips Norelco 6100, and it can be used with or without shaving cream. I would guess that all of this series of razors allow you to use shaving cream.

Try website www.goodmans.net!! This is where I got my Norelco SensoTouch 3D 1280 shaving head for the fraction of the cost!! I paid 60 bucks for mine and it is the same thing!! I saw your item on there also!!

I wish I could help with a good answer, I have used Norelco for many years, and never had that problem, but I do make sure I pull my skin tight with my other hand when using the shaver on my neck.

I'm thinking they're Phillips Norelco HQ55...which seems to have disappeared entirely from retailer's shelves in my area! You can order them, but as much as they're going to cost you, it'll probably be cheaper to buy a new shaver.

I switched to this from a Braun 5-Series. The Panasonic ES-LA63 is an absolute gem compared to the Braun. I NEVER had a shave with the Braun that didn't pull my hairs. Very painful. And if you haven't tried it yet, use the LA63 in the shower: Super close shaves, zero irritation! And your face will be as smooth as a baby's bottom.
