The shaver worked very well and was a close shave. It was way easier and quicker than using my Phillips face shaver.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it. I could have gone with the less expensive model because I read they give the same quality shave but I usually go for the top of the line when I buy. The longer battery life isn’t something I’ll ever need but I have it just in case. I am very meticulous when it comes to cleaning after every shave. I found that using the submerged in water method only works if you first tap the cage of blades to get the bulk of the hair out first. Even then the individual heads can still have residual hair after the water dip unless you clean each head a screen individually. It’s a lot of work but it’s worth it.
Great razor. Worth every penny.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It doesn’t cut close at all! I have to use a disposable razor to get a good shave! Waste of money!

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear that the shaver isn’t giving you a close shave and that you’re needing to use a disposable razor afterward, that’s definitely not the experience we want for you.

So far I like everything about this head shaver. No fuss no muss as they say. Easy to use, to keep clean and maintain. The cordless feature is great and the unit holds a charge as per stated. The best feature in my opinion is that it collects all the hair whether using it dry or wet requiring no clean up of the sink, counters etc.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re looking for a head shaver that truly delivers a razor-close finish without the hassle of a blade, the Philips Norelco Shaver Series 9000 is in a league of its own.
I’ve tried multiple head shavers over the years, and most fall short when it comes to achieving that clean, smooth, “just used a razor” feel but this one absolutely nails it. The shave is incredibly close, consistent, and comfortable, without irritation. It’s one of the first electric shavers I’ve used that genuinely replicates a razor-like result.
What really stands out is how efficient it is. I can get a full head shave done quickly, which is a game changer on busy mornings or when I’m in a rush. The shaver glides smoothly, captures hair effectively, and leaves behind an even, polished finish with minimal effort.
Battery performance is another big win. It charges quickly when needed, but even better, it holds a charge long enough to get multiple shaves in before needing to plug it back in perfect for anyone who values convenience and reliability.
Overall, this is a premium grooming tool that delivers on performance, speed, and results. If you shave your head regularly or want that clean, razor-close look without the time and irritation of traditional shaving, I highly recommend the Philips Series 9000. It’s easily one of the best investments I’ve made in my grooming routine.
I would recommend this to a friend!
