Ordered this from my hospital bed once I realised I’d be in hospital for a while. Thought that this was the right price for an entry level razor product and purchased based upon previous reviews. It’s slow compared to a wet shave and not as close, but it definitely did the trick, easily taking off a week’s growth on the first use.
A few reviews suggest the battery doesn’t last ..Not for me. Used it every day for three weeks and it’s still going strong. Other complaint was that it doesn’t shave as well as the old 1000 series. Jury still out. It was quieter but that may mean it’s a better constructed machine. It does shave better than my 1000 series shaver. However it’s a new blade against an old blade. So need to wait on that one. The auxiliary long hair cutter was said by some to be a disappointment. It actually worked well.
Finally price. Very competitive but look out for any special offers at your boots store. You
Am user of Phillips razors, made a change but quickly went back. This is a good product and gives a close shave. Sounds a bit slow but I have got used to this.
This is the second one of these I have purchased. I lost the first one after several years of daily use. Quick to charge, easy to clean and lasts a long time on a charge.
I have had many three head razors, both Philips and Remington. This is the by far the best do far. I have a tough beard, and this razor deals with it brilliantly. Excellent.
This was a present for my husband he has had a phiips shaver before, in between tried other makes, the other makes did not shave him as good , so he has gone back to old faithful.
Works great, blades seem fairly sharp. Buddy is quite bulky compared with my last shaver but not unduly so. Comes with a bespoke USB cable, shame they couldn’t stick with usb-c so you weren’t stuck if you forget your cable on holiday!
Bought this for my husband as his other version of this was not doing the job. This one is great and you you can wash it clean. He is really pleased with it.
he thing i has to get use to was it so quiet , and i find it works better with a wet face, i clean it every time i use it. The battery life is good lasts a week no problem , all in all very happy with i
I always have Philips shavers as I find their quality and designs practical. The performance is great and really easy to use. My beard hair is fairly thick and it cuts like hot knife through butter.
But I’m not giving this 5 stars as:
1. There’s no storage bag included
2. The USB charger uses a proprietary cable and not USB-C, which is ridiculous
3. The Specifications say it’s made in The Netherlands, but it’s not, it’s made in Indonesia
Nice and lightweight compared with older models and seems to work well. However a USB plug had to be acquired and a very high definition magnifying glass was required to read t he sheets of the microscopic printing together with a good knowledge of European languages. The instructions for use were confusingly diagrammatic but fortunately to those familiar with such devices the parts and their uses seemed obvious. There seem to be a promise of some kind of container bag though this had probably been replaced by duplicate sheets of warnings — no matter. On the whole a pleasing product. No ‘Buyers Regret’ !
Arrived and I was surprised how good the shave was, no pulling or sore face, easy to wash out, battery lasts a reasonable time and has a trimmer built in, nice to hold, in all I am very surprised the quality matches shavers that cost in excess of 150.00. What’s not to like!
