A good, no-frills electric razor - Review written on September 20, 2008
Rating: 4 out of 5
I've been using this Norelco 6423 Reflex Plus corded electric razor for about 2 1/2 weeks now, and so far, I'm glad I decided to buy it.
My old Panasonic rechargeable razor didn't seem to be holding a charge for very long anymore, plus it was time to replace the foil and cutting heads again. For about the same amount I would have spent to replace the worn parts on my old razor (not even including the cost of replacing the battery), I got a brand new Norelco razor!
The first thing I noticed about the Norelco is that it's MUCH quieter than my old Panasonic. My Panasonic sounded like a Dustbuster when it was on. Another plus to the Norelco is that it does a much better job of shaving underneath my jaw line and on my neck. I have not had any problem with the cord coming out of the razor while shaving. It fits in there nice and snug. I also have had no problem with the razor grabbing my skin. Just make sure you don't press down too hard on your skin while shaving, and use your free hand to pull your skin tight while shaving your neck, as suggested in the accompanying booklet.
If you don't need a fancy, expensive razor that cleans itself or is rechargeable, give this one a try.

Like many others, I checked into the prices on new blades for my older Norelco, and found this one priced about the same. I see the price has gone up a few dollars over what I paid a few weeks ago, but still a great deal. This one is a giant leap over the old one. It's smoother, quieter, and shaves closer. The one snag is the cord is tightly coiled, and tends to unplug from the bottom of the shaver when you are using it. However, don't even think about getting replacement blades, buy this one and you get a new motor and a much, much better shave.
