i have used a Remington shaver for years .As you get older your beard gets tougher and i found my last two new Remington razors never gave me a close shave. The Philips razor gives me the best close shave ever and
it is so easy to clean and maintain.
It comes in a really good case with all its attachments, gives a good close shave and is easy to clean ,good lasting battery . Best shaver I’ve tried in years.
This is a quite excellent razor… However… The provided instruction leaflet is only inches from useless… Total nonsense! Download the app and check instructions from there… Throw the appalling provided instruction leaflet away.
I bought this because it beat the Phillips 9000 and Braun 9 in reviews. I am not disappointed. Shaves a lot closer than my old 5000 especially with my Proraso shaving cream. Cleans very easily under the tap. It comes with its own cleaner module and one pot of fluid. Saving that as replacement liquid is pricey. Very happy with this and it was only 149. Bargain. The shaver unit is plastic but feels sturdy and the travel case protects it well. If it lasts 7 years like the 5000 then it is worth every penny.
Easy to order, extremely quick delivery.
Well packaged and easy to charge.
Instruction book could be better presented but reasonably easy to understand.
A great shave, a great improvement on the 5000 series.
Recommended.
I wouldn’t bother with any of the other optional extras you can get.
Overall, I think it is good value and a great upgrade.
I love my new razor but doesn’t fully get the countour of face if you have more than 3 day stubble. But overall I’m very happy. I love the cleaning function and the convenience of it. Would recommended
Yet another excellent shaver from Philips
Only criticism is the pop out trimmer isn’t as good as older models, I could use my old one to keep my moustache trimmed, this ones trimmer feels an afterthought on an otherwise excellent shave
Unfortunately, it’s nigh on impossible to work out what sort of power source or motor is being used but it’s relevant to someone like me with a tough mediterranean beard.
I’ve struggled in the past to get a battery powered waterproof shaver (important to be able to use it fully wet ie. in a shower) that didn’t “snag” on the beard when it was a bit longer-and this was due to the battery source/motor combination, you see with a weaker battery/motor combo, the motor could stop when overpowered with a longish tough beard.
This seems to have been taken care of with this shaver. It may be powered by a 186500 lithium Ion battery due to the longish handle, my last had a smaller 14500 lithium battery (I tried to replace it but managed to break the battery contacts unfortunately, so it went in the bin) and that phillips shaver was noticeably shorter.
This clearly is not a scientific analysis but an anecdotal one, such are most of the reviews on here, but I thought I’d share it as I could not find any reference to tough or mediterranean beard.
It’s only been a short while, but so far indications are good. I will update after I’ve had it a while, as unboxing reviews are worthless to those that need more in-depth info.
I have sensitive skin on chin and neck and so far this shaver is better in that respect but not perfect.
I couldn’t justify the expense of the 9000 range, and to all appearances, this seems to have the same battery/motor based on size comparison from the photos.
As another reviewer has mentioned-I’ll replace the cutting discs with the ones from the 9000 when replacement time comes, as this will provide a double cutting edge.
Sadly I couldn’t say that the beard trimmer was much good, but then I also have a Phillips one blade which is brilliant in that respect.
I can’t comment on the other features as I won’t use the app, always shave in the same direction and am not bothered really about the cleaning station as it can be cleaned easily under a tap, hence my second requirement-waterproof.
Lastly, it has the same charging port on the underneath as the charging cable provided, so I assume when the battery finally gives up, it can be pressed into service as a mains only shaver extending its life a little albeit not under the shower, naturally.
I hope this helps someone, I find reviews of products invaluable, and the reviews of this shaver led me to buy it-so far so good!
UPDATE 18/11/22: So far so good, I use the shaver every other day, being a tradesman, a bit of stubble is ok, so I’m happy with that frequency.
It’s still on its original charge from when I bought it and charged it up at the beginning of October! I am resisting recharging it until it gets to one bar as I know that lithium ion cells don’t like constant recharges (nor for that matter do they like being charged to 100%), so I’ll persevere with keeping an eye out for how long it gets to nearly full charge and stop it then, I may give up on that as it has no percentage indication, which would’ve been nice, but defo not a deal breaker.
The cleaning station I haven’t used yet as it’s so easy to clean under a tap with a tiny amount of liquid soap, but I will use the cleaning station say, once evry 2 or 3 months.
It’s cheaper right now, but hey, I’m still happy, it was one of those good buys that I’ll not regret.
This shaver, however, does a really good job, once you get the circle shaving motion down. Is it as close a shave as my preferred single blade safety razor? No. It is far more convenient though, wash face, slap on some pre-electric shave and 3 minutes later you look and feel much better, more human.
The shaver charges up quickly and the charge holds for a good long time, even with daily use. When it runs low, bung it on the charger and leave it for half an hour or so. If you’ve messed up and it runs out halfway through shaving, bung it on the charger for 5 or 10 minutes and it’ll finish the job for you.
The system comes with a cleaning pod. I’ve found the cleaning pod to be a great addition. After each shave, brush out the inside of the head, stick it on the pod and switch the shaver on, it does it’s thing and around a minute later, the shaver is clean, lubricated and smells nice.
I intentionally waited until I’d used the shaver for over 1 month before reviewing as it’s easy to say “it’s great” while you’re still in the “brand new in box” stage, I personally think you need to really use something like this for a while, get to know it’s quirks and how to actually get the best out of it…
So in my opinion, the shaver is excellent and I got it at what I consider a very reasonable price. I was worried the 3 blade head looked cumbersome but in actual use, it’s not. It does the bulk of your face in no time, pop out the wee trimmer to do the sides, job done.
Next, you pop the head open, brush it out and then close it and pop it on the cleaning pod… the cleaning pod, if not essential, is definitely worth using. If for no other reason, it’s antimicrobial, so less likely to end up with a dodgy skin infection.
Any doubts that it’s not doing anything will disappear the first time you need to change the cleaning solution. The amount of hairs and dead skin cells in there proves it’s doing it’s job.
The whole process from start shaving to zip up the pouch at the end takes about 5 minutes.
Great app. Comfortable to hold and to use. Hair gets collected inside the shaver so no massive cleaning job afterwards. The only downside is that it’s not always the cleanest shave, and I’ve had to supplement it by using a manual razor afterwards to get rid of stubborn hairs. The cleaning module isn’t really worth it, since after the first few cleans I’ve opened the shaver and there’s still quite a lot of hairs inside that need to be rinsed off, but the shaver itself is great.
Built to Phillips normal standards, although holding this is quite difficult and uncomfortable.
Have used Phillips shavers for about 60 years with the occasional use of different brands mainly due to financial circumstances. The model was on offer from Amazon with a 50% price reduction at 150.00, and as my other brand unit was showing signs of problems.
Great shave as expected but the “Picture book instructions” are to my mind difficult to comprehend and I would prefer written instructions with relevant pictures.?
I expect it is to produce the “Picture book” as it universal as opposed to the Warranty which is printed in 45 languages.ol
