Customer Reviews of Philips Norelco 1150x/40 SensoTouch 2d Electric Shaver, Metallic Blue
Customer Review: A Few Design Quirks, But Great Overall.
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The Philips Norelco SensoTouch electric shaver is very nicely designed and constructed. It shaves closely, but does have a few annoying design elements.
The design on the SensoTouch is quite futuristic, with a blue front, curved body, and perched shave head. It fits comfortably in the hand, and has a rubber ridge that runs around the edge for added grip (especially useful when using the shaver wet). The shaver has only one button on it, the power button, which is flush with the front of the shaver face. On the shaver front are also three indicator lights. They display low battery, battery charging, and control lock status. The control lock lets you disable the power button to prevent it from accidentally turning on (when traveling for instance). One annoying aspect of the shaver's design, however, is that it is close to impossible to lay the shaver down without it turning on its side, and then dumping out some shavings onto the counter. You just have to remember to place the shaver back in the charging base if you have to stop mid-shave.
Speaking of, the shaver charges somewhat unconventionally. It has a base that you drop it into and it charges through contacts on the side of the shaver. A complete charge takes 1 hour, and lasts 40 minutes. The low battery light alerts you when there are 5 minutes of shave time left. The only disadvantage to this system is that you cannot use the shaver while it is plugged in. If you're like me and put off charging till the last minute, you may find yourself out of juice when you need to shave in a hurry. A quick charge feature allows you to charge the shaver for 5 minutes, and get 3 minutes of shaving time, but sometimes 5 minutes is more than I have when I'm in a rush. It would be nice if there was a charging port on the shaver itself to use it corded as well.
Shaving with the SensoTouch is kind of odd at first. The shaver puts very little pressure on your face. At first I didn't think I was pushing hard enough to get a close shave, but it was shaving just as close as any other electric shaver I've ever used. Indeed, you can push as hard as you like, but it never feels like you're pushing down hard. I've learned to use the SensoTouch with a light touch, and the payoff is a close shave with less irritation. The shaver head pivots smoothly in all directions, and the three shaving heads pivot individually as well. The shaver screens have holes for shorts hairs and slots for longer hairs. Indeed, I had no problem getting a close shave on the contours of my face and around my goatee. The shaver can be used wet or dry or with shaving cream. I only ever used it dry, as I had no need to attempt a closer shave, and liked the convenience of a dry shave. Lastly, you can pull off the shaver head and pop on a trimmer head. The downside to this setup is that the trimmer is a separate piece, whereas most shavers have the trimmer integrated into the shaver itself.
Cleaning the shaver could not be easier, after each use you simply pull off the top plate of the shaver head and run water through it and the shaver head. When a more intense cleaning is needed you can disassemble the entire shaver assembly and clean out each rotary blade individually with the included brush (I actually throw the blades and heads into the dishwasher on a sanitize cycle to get them extra clean).
All in all... a smarty styled shaver that gives a close and comfortable shave.
09/27/2010 Update: I've noticed that even if I don't shave, and let me beard grow for a few days, the shaver still shaves very closely and does not snag on the longer hairs. My old shavers used to snag when I didn't shave every few days.

Designed to handle the contours of your face, SensoTouch utilizes GyroFlex 2D--two-dimensional contouring technology that's able to pivot in a circular motion and tilt inwards. Its contour-following system adjusts easily to every curve, minimizing both pressure and irritation. The result is a close shave that's easy on your skin.
Precisely Cuts and Trims Each and Every Hair
SensoTouch delivers a close, comfortable shave with complete coverage and accuracy. DualPrecision heads have slots to shave the normal hairs, and holes to shave even the shortest stubble.
The patented Super Lift&Cut dual blade system lifts hairs to cut comfortably below skin level, while the low-friction SkinGlide shaving surface slides smoothly along your skin for a close shave without irritation. There's also a precision trimmer feature for mustache and sideburn grooming.
Comfortably Shaves--Wet or Dry
SensoTouch lets you shave any way you want. The AquaTec seal gives you the option of either a comfortable dry shave or a refreshing wet shave with shaving cream or gel. No matter which you choose, SensoTouch's slim, non-slip grip makes for easy handling.
Cordless Convenience
With SensoTouch, you'll enjoy the convenience of cordless operation at home or on the road. One hour of charging provides up to 40 minutes of shaving time, and a three-minute quick-charge option gives you enough power for a single shave. The two-level battery display lets you know when the battery is full and shows a low-battery warning when it's time to recharge.
Easy-Clean, Travel-Friendly Design
SensoTouch is designed with a hair collection chamber that helps keep your bathroom sink neat and tidy. Additionally, the razor itself is easy to clean--just use water and the included brush.
An excellent travel companion, the SensoTouch features a travel lock, protective cap, and storage pouch for safe portability. SensoTouch also has a worldwide voltage function that automatically adjusts from 100 volts to 240 volts AC, making it ideal for international trips.
The SensoTouch 1150X/40 is backed by a two-year warranty.
