Customer Ratings & Reviews

When I had the opportunity to try the new Norelco Prestige, I was pretty excited. I hadn’t used this style of razor since around 2002, so I was long overdue. I typically shave once every few days when I’m not sporting a beard or mustache. However, I had to use a different razor to trim down my facial hair before I could even use the Norelco. I was really disappointed when, after trimming down to about 1/4 inch, the Norelco Prestige couldn’t finish the job. This was a major letdown. This shaver is terrific if you only plan to maintain a 5 o’clock shadow every other day or so. People who deal with occasional stubble or small patches of facial hair will likely appreciate this product. However, it’s clear that this device cannot fully replace a manual bladed razor. I do appreciate the forward-thinking approach to the packaging, as well as the excellent battery life, travel case, ease of cleaning and charging, and the fact that it’s suitable for use in the shower. The battery performance is solid, too. Unfortunately, despite these positives, I cannot recommend this product because it falls short of its main purpose — providing a clean shave.
