(Updated October, 2017) Last year we did a post on a new shaver by Norelco that is the first model in a long while that does NOT have the Lift & Cut technology. Why does this matter? Based upon information from KosherShaver.org (brought below) and the psak of HaRav Dovid Feinstein and other poskim, this shaver is indeed a kosher shaver out-of-the-box. It is available in 2 versions as below. Also please note that KosherShaver.org offers a free service to “kasher” other models of Norelco shavers that do have the Lift & Cut that needs to be removed.

Philips Norelco 6945XL Electric Razor – basic shaver, kosher as-is, corded, does not have beard trimmer (~$25) (Unavailable as of 2017)

Philips Norelco 6948XL/41 Rechargeable Cordless Razor –  kosher as-is, without Lift & Cut technology, rechargeable and has beard trimmer, a great deal (~$34)

Philips Norelco Electric Shaver 1100, S1150/81  – basically same as above but is corded. Costs less (~$24). From my experience, a corded unit, while a little inconvenient is better as inevitably the batteries on these units stop holding a charge after a few years of use and with a cord you always have 100% power.
