How to Compare Men's Norelco Razors

Norelco razors come with a variety of options.

Norelco razors are a collection of men's electric shaving razors produced by Philips Electronics. The models include the Nivea for Men, the 8200 series, the 7000 series and the SensoTouch.

Shaving Performance

The razors differ in the kind of shave they provide. The Nivea for Men razors give a smooth shave while creating healthy skin by applying moisturizer during the shaving process. The 8200 series razors give a fast and close shave through three shaving tracks that give 50 percent more shaving surface. Razors in the 7000 series will shave both long hairs and short stubble. The SensoTouch razors are waterproof and can shave wet or dry.

Power Considerations

Some of the razors have cords and others are cordless. The time taken to charge the battery is a consideration as is the length of time that the battery holds its charge. When fully charged, the SenseoTouch razors have a shaving time of up to 60 minutes, while the Nivea for Men, 7000 and 8200 series razors have up to 30 minutes shaving time.

Ease of Use

The 8200 series razors have a slim handle design and seamless foil finishing while the Nivea for Men and the 7000 series razors have a lacquer finish. All of the Norelco razors are washable and the SensoTouch series has an automatic cleaning function.
