Good, close shave, October 8, 2003
This review is from: Philips Norelco 6613X Reflex Plus Rechargeable Cordless Men's Shaving System (Health and Beauty)
After five years, it was time to ditch my old norelco... it pulled when I went too long without shaving, took about 10 passes to cut everything, and didn't hold much charge as a cordless... Tried to buy a more expensive razor, it was out of stock, so I got this one. I was really surprised at first how little irritation there was. My old Norelco was giving a bit of irriatation in places, but no problems with this one, even though it was a new razor. First time I used it was on 6-days growth, and there was none of the painful pulling I was used to. To top it off, the shave was so much closer. I really have no complaints about this razor... I'm very impressed with the improvements made, and don't really see a reason to get the $100+ shavers... With the Norelco guarentee on top of the performance, I'll be sticking with their products for another 5 years...

Guess-A-Charge!, October 17, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Philips Norelco 6613X Reflex Plus Rechargeable Cordless Men's Shaving System (Health and Beauty)
My review is based solely on the features and conflicting information regarding the product. I just recieved the razor and after reading the manual, plugging it in and speaking with customer service, here is the scoop: The shaver DOES NOT work with the cord, only in a cordles mode (the Norelco web site states otherwise). The LED charge indicator only lights when the razor is charging, and doesn't turn off when fully charged. Basically telling me the same thing that looking at the cord plugged int othe razor would do. There is NO low battery indication in any way (the specs on the Amazon web site states there is a low battery indicator). Customer service told me the way to tell when a charge is indcated is one of three ways: the razor is dead; the razor runs slow; or the recommended way is to manually track how long you have used it and when you get to about 30 minutes, then charge. You are warned in the manual NOT to charge until the razor it is near total discharge or the battey life will be effected. There is no quick charge, it takes 16 hours to charge the razor. So, since it can't run on the cord, and its best to run the battery down to the end before recharging, and there is no warning on low battery, you will find yourself with a dead razor and a 16 hour wait for the next shave opportunity. I'll be leaving the house on many occasions with a 24 hour shadow! The Reflex razors all appear to have the same shaving heads and mechanics that produce the actual shave. So the different model choices/prices deal with features. Go the few extra bucks for the feature(s) that display low battery, allow corded operation, and/or a quick charge (6 min.).

Works Great for me, November 23, 2004
This review is from: Philips Norelco 6613X Reflex Plus Rechargeable Cordless Men's Shaving System (Health and Beauty)
I've used this Norelco razor for several weeks now and have been pleasantly satisfied with it.
I only need to shave once every other day, but the Norelco razor shaves just as close as my Gillette Mach 3 razors. I've only had to charge it once so far, and it doesn't wreak havoc with my face at all. I've never really used shaver which costs over $100 before, and I'm not sure exactly what they can offer that this one can't.
It doesn't have any bells and whistles, but I really like how it works and am happy to be using it.
