Impressively close shave with little noise and sim
on September 3, 2025
Posted by: wesleyf5_4775
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shaver is impressive!. Very low noise level when running and the precision is on point. Very smooth shave. Has a little heft to it so its very durable. Battery life seems to be great only charged 1 time and its still going strong. Cleaning is a breeze as well would recommend this product.

Feels great, Cuts smooth
on September 3, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love the ergonomic grip and wish this had a trimmer blade to change out for my short hair. I don't go fully bare in the head but I used it on my shoulders and this thing got SUPER close for a smooth shave. I'm sure it would be amazing for bald/baldish/balding guys.

Great for that bald guy in your life!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a quality razor that can be used in the shower. It gives a close shave on your head. Not as close as a real razor but I have not found a head shaver yet that can do that. It is not very noisy and seems to last a decent amount on a charge. It is rechargeable. The only negative I have is that it dies not give you a % of battery life so you don’t know when the battery will die which could leave you stranded mid shave. A good quality product you would expect from Norelco at a price point lower than a lot of the other electric head shavers out there. Easy to clean in the shower by just popping the heads off and running under water.

Easy to use, close dry shave!
on September 2, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had started shaving my head using an electric razor, but this dedicated head shaver is a game changer! I've been using this for around a month now and have seen great results. It provides a close shave and it is so easy to use. I have used it both dry and wet and find that using it dry is the way to go. While dry, it is easy to open it up and shake out loose hair and carry on, but while wet, it clumps together and requires disassembly and reassembly.
For best results, your hair should already be short (less than 2mm) and you should use the shaver frequently. If your hair is longer than a buzz, you'll not have great results or have to shake out hair multiple times while using it. I find that this isn't a substitute for your traditional electric razor, but enhances it. If you have a beard like me, you will likely need to use the electric razor to ensure your hair does not look wild around the temple area.
The battery life is very good. It has never died on me while using it and it is quick to charge. The noise level is fair. It's not quiet, but not loud. Imagine the noise level of an electric toothbrush.
Overall, I will continue to use it and enjoy my shaved head!

Never going back
on September 1, 2025
Posted by: marioo9_8179
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical at first but after a few uses I was a believer. When I first used it my hair was a little longer but after the first cut the use was a breeze! It was easy to clean and I have g had to recharge it yet. Easy to use in the shower, I recommend using a shaving lotion.

Convenience at the touch of a button!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is convenience at the touch of a button! I've never been one for these head shavers, I tend to be a razor type of guy. But this thing has definitely changed my mind. I shave when I shower and this allows me to get the job done while I'm gaming or on my way somewhere! Not bad, not bad at all! Great feel on the materials used and very durable! The battery life is great and can get you a shave on a 5 minute charge. Easy to clean with no mess and no hairs everywhere. Just run it under water and BOOM done! My only criticism is i have to go over the same areas a few times for real precision and it caused me a bit of irritation. It's very quiet and subtle which is awesome, no one would ever know you were shaving your head! My electric toothbrush is louder than this shaver! After trying it for a few weeks i gotta say I'm thoroughly impressed with this Phillips Norelco head shaver! If you've ever been on the fence about one of these, I would highly recommend you try this one.. you won't be disappointed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shaver is fantastic! I’ve tried many shavers as a bald person, and this one is the best I’ve had so far. Works great and very easy to clean. Battery life is good, and comes with a great little stand for the counter. Love it!

Smooth and Precise
on August 28, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smooth and precise is the only way to describe this product. I’ve used plenty of generic head shavers from big-box stores, and they always come with the added feature of snagging and pulling hair follicles. I completely expected the same result with this Norelco Head Shaver Pro 7000 but was pleasantly surprised when I ran it across my scalp—it felt so smooth that I had to check to be sure it was trimming, and it in fact was. It took a mere 5 minutes to shave my head, which is incredible. The motor noise maintains a steady volume when it encounters a thicker patch of hair, and that sets it apart as a powerhouse. The packaging is also straightforward, as it comes with a cable for charging, a travel case, a brush, and even a container cup for maintenance and care. My only gripe is that the product arrived with no charge, which is unusual…however, it’s still a 5-star product.
