Effective and fast

Very effective shaver. I am always in a hurry when shaving and your product does an excellent job very fast. It lasts a long time on a charge and glides comfortably over the contours of my face. Thank you for an excellent product.

Great Shaver

I have been using Philps shavers since the 1990s and this is far and away the best one I have ever used. The USB charging is a great move as I can now charge wherever I am. 1h to full charge is also convenient. My only small gripe is that it does not come with a protector cap for the foils.

Quick and easy

It works well - all these years i used Bruan and really thought nothing shave as good. This shaver is very good! i was also skeptical because it use a usb cable to charge - but all good. Im very happy with my Phillips - its part of my morning routine now. Sometimes it screams like its dry - not sure what to do if i have to do something? I use alcohol once a month to clean the heads.

Pros

Good solid product doing what it should

Cons

None
