Shaver is fine. Close shave if you're patient and work in a circular motion. Wish sideburns trimmer was attached. The washer has issues. Shaver moves around in the wash and doesn't stay attached to the arm. Resorted to putting a folded piece of cardboard to keep it in place.
My husband and grandson have really senitive skin, so all Shavers have broken out their skin. This is why I checked out this the Philips Norelco Shaver, so this is why I bought one for each. It has been great for both my husband and our grandson, their skins looks and feels wonderful, no break outs. I would recommend this "SHAVER" for all men.
Easy to use, easy to clean and blade lasted a full year + . Razor is very easy to use in any situation and runs quietly. After owning a foil type in the past, I'm convinced that as far as electric razors go, I will probably not go back to that style again.
The new wash tank doesn't always dry. I sent my first tank back because it would wash on its own and never dry. The replacement works but sometimes I go to use it and it's still wet 24 hours later. The previous design that the razor was mechanically moved into the wash tank worked better. The razor has always been the best on the market and is the only razor I would ever use.
Like all Phillips electric razors one's beard has be trained for the razor. I like Phillips razors over the competition. The down side is that one has to switch heads to use the trimmer. The upside is that the razor can be used under wet conditions. It's not perfect but gives a good shave. Eventually my beard will get used to this razor.
