Back in the day, electric shavers were sometimes frowned upon because they did not cut close enough. Now, technology is giving people a chance to get a quick and close shave.

Norelco is regarded as one of the better shavers to buy these days. Besides Braun and Remington, Norelco typically is the only choice at most retailers.

Norelco is now actually called Philips-Norelco. The shavers used to be very pricey too. Now, that has all changed.

You can get a great shaver with tons of features for as little as as $49.95 thanks to recent price reductions and competition.

When choosing a Norelco shaver you have to decide if you want one with the cleaning unit or without it. That makes a big difference on the price you will pay.

The Philips Norelco AT810/41 Shaver 4100 is selling on Amazon for just $59.95. Originally this shaver retails for $69.99. It is a Prime eligible item, which means that you can get it for free in two days if you do indeed have Amazon Prime. Customers like this shaver. Out of 1,438 customer reviews, this shaver averages a four out of five stars.

If you want a classic Norelco shaver, the Cool Skin series has been around for over a decade. This series of shavers allows you to shave in the shower or dry shaving.

They also have a small button you can press and some Nivea lotion comes out to help lubricate your skin.

"I really like having the option of the Nivea gel button. I can tell that when I shave and use this shaver the Nivea lotion helps keep my face smooth," Lewis Evans of Temple Terrace, Florida said.

Do a quick search online for the Cool Skin series and find an older model from the early 2000s and enjoy a close clean shave while spending very lately.
