I have never understood travel razors. When I am traveling for work or pleasure, it is always because I am going to see people I want to look good for. Whether I'm trying to cut a business deal or catch up with family, you invest in the time and money for travel because the other person is important to you for some reason.
Here's my question – Why would you want to use a razor you are uncomfortable with that doesn't give you as good of a shave when you are traveling?
| PQ208/40 | 8100 1250X/40 | |
| Weight | 5.6 Ounces | 15.7 Ounces |
| Size | 1 x 2 x 3.5 inches | 9-3/4″ x 6-7/8″ x 4-1/2″ |
| Power | AA Batteries | Rechargeable |
I travel a lot, and I would like to think that I have gotten pretty good at packing. The table here shows how much worse the 8100 1250X/40 is for traveling. By comparison to the travel size, it seems much larger. In my experience, it's not a big deal. I have always been able to comfortably fit my 8100 1250X/40 in a carry on suitcase.
Ask yourself – do you trust an electric razor that costs the same amount as a manual Gilette Fusion Proglide?
If you have one business meeting or family gathering that goes better because you didn't try to use a $15 electric razor, you will be glad you bought the 8100 1250X instead. Click HERE for a deal on Amazon.
