What The best norelco razor?

I have no idea. I like the one I have pretty well, but I just purchased a Panasonic that I like even better. The Panasonic cuts longer hairs better, both work fine on short hairs (e.g. if you shave every day, either razor is fine, if you skip a couple of days now and then, you may like the Panasonic better.

I can't tell you which is the best as I haven't tried them all. I'm on my second NORELCO Speed razor in 20 years. I do know that it shaves great, you can go about a month without recharging, and it lasts damn near forever. Can't go wrong buying this razor.

I like the 8250XL. Shaves great, rinses clean easily, and lets you shave with the cord if battery runs down during a shave. I have the newer wet/dry fancy-shmancy razor, but it shaves no better and is a bit awkward to use in my view. The 8250XL is a good buy. I've used Norelco razors for decades!

Any Double Blade (DE) razor. The brand does matter. Just do a search for safety razors. Don't spend a lot of money on one either. I am currently using a Parker butterfly safety razor. I am happy with it.

Found list of Norelco Razors that use the same battery as mine. Yours is not on the list. I found a site for your razor which makes it seem like you should not attempt to replace this battery on your own. Go to http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/cpindex.pl?ctn=8251XL/18&dct=QAD&faqview=1&mid=Link_FAQs&refnr=0079964&scy=SE&slg=AEN&view=aa12_view_partial.html.

i would contact amazon first then the vender. i returned mine asap as i was disappointed on the quality of the end result, a close and tight "shave". seems the norelco type shaving head does non work well on the head.

Not that I know of. I think this is the only replacement for the blades from Norelco for these razors.For what it's worth, the reason this is more (in addition to all the markup by Norelco) is that you're actually replacing the entire swiveling head of the razor, so there are a lot of parts in this complex assembly. But if you want the smoothest electric shave you can get at home I think this is the price.

From my research, it appears that the new product that Norelco has started selling, and that everyone hates, is made of plastic rather than metal and results in a much less smooth shave. I haven't purchased my replacement head yet as I'm still trying to decide what to buy but am leaning towards the more expensive, older version just based on everyone's comments. You should be able to find the expensive, older model for probably ½ this price, even on Amazon.

I went online to the Phillips Norelco site and the only razor I found was the 1060X and that one takes the R Q10 blades. Hope this helps.

I'm not familiar with model nos, so don't know about the specific unit. Have always used norelco shavers, even before the 3 blades. This does as good a job as any I've had. But I'm glad I don't have a heavy beard.

The last Norelco that I had was purchased about 9 years ago and the battery was still ok. I bought a new Norelco because the blades were too dull ( not getting a close enough shave) and the cost of new blades was more than buying the new razor. I never had to consider a battery change.

I have been looking for an adjustable DE razor like my dad used for years. The only ones I can find are from Merkur and are very overpriced.

Patrick, based on my experience with the 1280X, the way the individual rotary blades are engineered, they will likely work for you. In they don't I believe Norelco has a 45 or 60 day trial period, before which you can return the razor for a full refund. Good luck. Jason

My Norelco shaves really really well with new blades . . . .for about 2 months. I mean . . . . as good as a Gilette power 5-blade razor. But then the performance falls off pretty quickly. At 3 months, I'm debating on whether to spend another $40 on new blades or go back to the Gilette. It's my only disappointment in Norelco razors.

Works very well. Would recommend rinsing the razor with tap water after 3-4 uses, then using the jet clean for a more thorough cleaning and lubrication/charging. The Norelco cleaning solution is over-priced.

I would assume that the pivoting head and blades makes the difference since I do get a better shave with this razor than previous Norelco razors. Stating it another way, I get a closer shave with less effort, i.e., having to go over the same area fewer times than with prior razors.

This razor is the smoothest shave that I have ever experienced. I have used a Norelco for years but this is the most outstanding one that I have ever used. I had to make sure that it was actually cutting my beard because it was so smooth. I believe that it is the new heads they have come up with that make it this way but when in doubt go for it as it will not disappoint.
