Works great on bald heads, just be sure and not let whatever hair you have on your head get too long. I like using the Super Close gold plated foil for a close head shave. However, you do have to be careful because that sucker will nick you if you don't use it properly. Just take is slow and easy the first few times and do not press too hard. With experience, you'll learn exactly how much pressure to use. I shave every day, and replace my foil every 2 to 3 months.

Do not press and drag the shaver. Pretend that you are shaving a balloon. The Norelco will do the job.

If you're looking for a close shave on your face then I would recommend the Wahl 8061 5-Star Series Rechargeable Shaver Shaper. It's awesome! I use it daily on my face and it doesn't give me any bumps or in-grown hairs. I actually prefer it over using a traditional razor for shaving. The Andis Styliner trimmer won't give you a close shave on your face at all in comparison to the Wahl Shaver Shaper. And I would say the same about the aforementioned products if you're going to use them for cutting your hair too. The Styliner will cut your hair very short to the point where you will just see stubble, but the Wahl Shaver Shaper will leave your scalp smooth and bald just as a razor would (some people say it even cuts closer than a razor). If you opt for the Wahl Shaver, you don't really need to apply that much pressure when using it on your face like a typical electric shaver. It works just fine with little/moderate pressure. It's a very reliable shaver and requires very little maintenance. Every so often you just need to pop off the top portion and brush out all the hairs on the blade and that's it. Once the foil on the top portion starts to wear out (which you will be able to see visibly, this takes a long time by the way) you can just order the replacement foil/blade and pop that right on and you're good to go. I hope this answered your question. If you're looking for something to use for shaving your face you won't be disappointed with the Wahl Shaver. I think it's the best shaver that's available and it's the only one that I use.

It's exactly what you see.It comes with the charger and head covers etc. The major difference from other norelcos is it only has two rotars on the shaving head. Again, I don't use it for everyday shaving, but the beard and body trimmers are super. The shaving heads do a great job, and it's best to "soften" your beard first with shaving cream or whatever.

Yes, this Norelco has that attribute. I, too, was concerned. Slowing down my own motions when using it, I found that in spite of what it sounded like, I got the shave I was looking for. Even though it sounded slow I still got a good shave by adjusting my motions to it; and the shave did Not take any longer.

HQ55 heads. I have three Norelco electric razors. At first I could not fine replacements heads so I call Philips (Norelco) and ask then. The person told me that the HQ 55 would work but to make sure I would call them. There were very helpful. 1 800 243-3050 (Philips)

Have had my Norelco for about 10 years and have never replaced the blades. Use everyday and it still gives a great shave! The only thing I do is brush out every week.

Razor works great on face and neck. I used it on longer hair on the back of my neck recently so I think it may work well on your head. Give it a shot. Worse case return it.

I have had numerous Remington shavers including this one. Sorry to report that all of them have the same amount of noise. I also have a Norelco and it is much quieter.

I have a Phillips Norelco model 8810XL. HQ8 heads fit it. I have no idea which other razors they fit. I looked it up on the Norelco website to find what they fit. Maybe you should too.

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.

It's been two or three years since I tried it. I think I remember that it came with one replacement set, but you would need to buy additional replacement sets as they would need to be replaced. But cleaning the device out after each use was key to have it work most effectively. I did not find that it gave me a close enough shave, so I returned it - which is where Norelco game me problems about refunding me all of the money that I spent. Their promise turned out to be a lie. Bad job on their part. Good Luck!

Did you try this on your head? I am considering this or the black version of this. My barber used it to bald my head after a close trim and this was pretty quick and clean for the most part, I still got a few bumps here and there, mostly back of my head but I think it should be OK with a prep and aftershave cream follow up?

If I recall right, these are after-market replacement heads from a different company. If they are from Panasonic then they did a half-ass job because they cut maybe half as well as the original heads that came with the shaver.Personally, I've moved on to a Norelco with the rotary shaving heads. Not a super close shave, but a very comfortable shave and great for everyday use!
