Once in a while this site gets strange query through Google search about the uses of electric shavers. One particular kind of query that it got went something like this: Can I shave body hair with Norelco PowerTouch? You can replace this particular shaver with Norelco SensoTouch 3D, Noreclo Vacuum Beard Trimmer or Norelco 8020x yet  you get the same idea. Now, the answer to this kind of question is obvious. But forsaking the obvious, let’s deal straight on with this harmless query and try to reason out why it is possible and at the same time not right to do so.

The simple, innocent answer to this question, of course, is a big ‘yes.’ These electric shavers serve the purpose of cutting hair and using it where hair grows is possible.

There is only one catch though for this answer. You must remember that these type of electric shavers are manufactured and designed for cutting hair on your face. Yes, it can be used to trim and cut hairs in your chest, legs, buttocks, groin and on any part of your body. But you cannot take away the fact that these shavers are designed for your facial hair. So expect that you will get some discomfort like irritation and cuts – if not serious injury if you use it on your sensitive body parts.

The simple answer to this kind of question is likening electric shavers to scissors. There are different kinds of scissors that serve to cut different materials. There are scissors for paper; there are scissors for cutting hairs; and there are scissors to cut thin sheet of metals. Using them for their particular purpose gets the job done right. And with electric shavers the reasoning is the same.

Hope this gets the question answered. If you want a shaver for your body hair, then probably you can just get Norelco BodyGroom Pro. (Click here for more information about Norelco BodyGroom Pro.)

Now that there is a growing interest in the newly launched electric shaver by Philips Norelco called the Norelco PowerTouch series, it is only proper to quench the need of the public consumers for information before making a purchase of these products. Body Grooming Review already made a review of the series, but this second take is to give consumers specifications on the series.

Norelco PowerTouch Series

The Norelco PowerTouch series can be divided in two set of models. Those that are only designed for dry shaving and models that both allow wet and dry shaving.

In the first set, there are the Norelco PowerTouch PT720 and Norelco PowerTouch PT730 (click link to see more info before purchasing). The good thing about the two is both have flexing heads, which adjust to the every curve of your face’s contour. If you were to ask which is better between these two, then you can go for PT730 since this model has two of the best shaving systems of Philips Norelco – the Super Cut and Lift and DualPrecision. PT730, as an additional feature, has pop-up precision trimmer for sideburn and mustached maintenance.

Norelco PowerTouch with Aquatec

The second type of models from this new Philips shaver is the PowerTouch with aquatec – these models are PowerTouch AT810 and PowerTouch AT830 (click link to see more info before purchasing). AT810, besides being water resistant and has aquatec technology, has flexing heads to follow the contour of your face, has Super Lift and Cut and DualPrecision shaving system for a close and comfortable shave. It also has a built-in pop-up trimmer. All of these features are also present in AT830 model, but instead of flexing heads it uses smart pivot shaving technology good for hard-to-shave areas like the neck.

Philips Norelco released its latest generation of electric shavers – the PowerTouch with aquatec technology. The first patented electric shaver created by Col. Jacob Schick and generations of succeeding electric razors were all meant and designed for dry shaving. Only recently there have been electric shavers that can both serve wet and dry shaving; but grooming products like these were mediocre if not dissatisfying in result. Philips Norelco just successfully filled in the void when it released this product.

Our Take on This

Nobody would want to argue with a product that basically gives what men want – effortless morning shave. This is exactly what Philips Norelco PoweTouch with aquatec provides. This shaver has all the classic, patented shaving innovations in every Norelco shaver, pushing it towards the door of new generation of electric razors. It has the dual precision shaving technology that enables the shaver to deal with both long and short facial hairs. On the other hand, the Super Lift&Cut blade system makes for a close, neat shave. Just these two shaving technologies are enough to call Norelco PowerTouch with aquatic perfect for a good, excellent morning shave.

Selling Point

There is a high demand for an electric shaver that can be used for wet and dry shaving. Philips Norelco PowerTouch just addresses this with its aquatec technology. If you are the type who uses cream or gel to minimize skin irritation, then this is not an issue with PowerTouch with aquatec. This product fits your preferred procedure.

Modestly Priced but Fully Packed

Price tag for this shaver is under $90 –  good bargain for those men who want to change their old models with a new generation shaver. Philips Norelco PowerTouch with Aquatec run cordless and powered by Li-Ion batteries (three-minute charging time is enough for one shaving task). Besides the sleek, ergonomically designed body of Philips Norelco PowerTouch, added feature is a built-in trimmer for managing sideburns, beard and moustache.
