I first tried the shaver with a shave cream and it gave me a very close smooth shave. The next time I used the shaver, I used it completely dry, I also found this to give me a real smooth close shave. It is great being able to flip open the shaver heads and run them under hot water to clean them out, and leaving them open and laying on a paper towel takes care of any water that is left over from cleaning the shaving heads. This is the first shaver that I have owned that allows me to shave around my adams apple without having to pull my skin in either direction. Some people complained about the size of the side burn trimmer, true it does seem a little small compared to other shavers I have had, but that does not diminish its ability to trim your side burns.
This is my 3rd philips shaver, the first got stolen, the second got old and it seemed like a good time to upgrade to the latest as a new set of batteries and blades were likely to cost the same as a new unit. First impressions on the upgrade are that the blades seem larger than my previous unit - not bad but not better I think. The pop-out trimmer doesn't pop out as far as on the previous model so it isn't as easy to do the fiddly things - still getting use to it, but what I can do, it does a good job. Love the display on it, looks great. Easy to wash too, much easier than the old one. I like how the power plug for the old one works perfectly with this one as I bought this one in the US and the old one in Australia - and I live in Australia - means I don't need to use an adaptor and the Australian plug has a curly-cord which keeps things from getting tangled up easily unlike the plain-straight cord that came with this unit. The dock provided is cute, but given how long this unit holds charge, it's not something that gets a lot of use (I've used it only once in about a month!).
Pros: charge time, world power compatible, compatible with older plugs, display, easy washing, waterproof
It is an excellent product. it let you fill very smooth across your skin, touch your every micro skin. the design just let you think that it is a beauty.
An excellent product to use. Handling is incredible it glides on and expedites shaving time.
The only issue I can think of is how hard it is to use the trimmer to trim someone else's side burns or back of the hair, since you can't see the trimmer's tip. However, trimming your side burns is just fine.
I use this shaver 2x a day wondering how long before i have to replace heads this shaver was very expensive i hope the sharpness of blade heads will last at least a year....very satisfied at this time but lets see how long it lastusp
Performance and durability of the product is great. However the trimmer makes awkward sound & throw the Removed hair out . It is a bit uneasy to clean. Over all good experience .
Pros: close shave, smooth handling of skin, good battery life, nice design & holder, easy to clean
Cons: trimmer makes awkward sound while cutting, trimmer throw the hair out sideso hard to clean, high price.
Would like it to shave a little more close - - I use my manual razer when I go to the dentist or on an important date but for quick and easy day to day it does the job
