[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not as fast of a shave as my older model (R 845). Still hoping to find replacement batteries that don't cost as much as a new razor.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a Phillips Electric razor user for over 35 years and they did a good job. I bought this razor to replace a 10 year old one and it doesn't do near as good a job as the old one. Will I buy another one after this one dies? First time I ever considered a different brand. It used to be a good one. I am 78
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used Philips shavers for 40 years at least. This shaver is the best one yet. The trimmer, however, is not as good as my previous Philips shaver.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this shaver for my husband while he was in a convalescent nursing center for 6 weeks. It was easy to charge with the cord, and since he had one previously no training needed. The charger does a great job as we have not recharged in several weeks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really like the smooth cut provided by this shaver. Charging via port was a tad different, but easily adapted.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I all ready had a Philippe’s shaver which was more exspensive , but could new get the right blades when ordering so went to the cheaper one. Which turned out better than my pro shaver.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The razor works well and does a fairly good job. It doesn't cut as close as the electric razor my new Phillips is replacing but over all pretty good. I gave it one star less for that reason. The battery has lasted a fair amount of time... here again, not as good as my old razor but it's done well. I like that this razor is lighter than my old one AND it has a straight edge clipper. A feature my old one did not have. My only complaint, and I've had this with multiple electric shavers, the button that opens the cutting head is was to easy to hit while shaving. It's the same way with all of the ones that I've owned. Over all, a good razor that does a good job. I haven't used it in a wet environment yet but I'm pleased with the razor.
