This really is an excellent razor. I have used mains
powered Philishave razors for years, but probably hadn't
realised just how blunt my old blades were. Changing to
this rechargeable razor at Xmas was a whole new experience.
A smooth quick shave and no cables to get in the way.
I haven't used the Cleaning System as it is so easy just to
clean it under the tap.
I like the display telling me how much charge there is
left, but tend to ignore the tap clean symbol and just
clean it every few days.
It is expensive, but I am hoping it will last for many
years, so the expense should be worth it.

Hopefully, this view/opinion of this product will be of
some use to someone. I have very course/thick hair so wet
shaving is out for me, no matter how soft, soaped and
soaked my chin is and how new and sharp the razor is, this
is a painful experience. I,ve had a few rechargeable/mains+
shavers in the past including Hitachi, Braun and philips.
My last 'good' shaver was a philips 925 three head rotary,
bought about ,. . er... 15 ish years ago! it was always ok
but not spectacular (it would jam sometimes..ouch! )
So I thought maybe I,d treat myself, although £230 seemed
like BIG money for a shaver (925 cost over £100 back
then!!) with a bit of searching I found it on amazon for
£156 + free postage. What's it like? Shaving with it is a
bit like moving a piece of smooth metal over your face,
it's the easiest shave I've ever had.
It's definitely the closest, just keep smoothing away, this
is a very close shave !!! So far I haven't used the big
automatic cleaner it comes with but I guess I will
sometimes, after a shave just run the shave heads under a
hot tap and leave open (they hinge open for this purpose)
to dry.
One more VERY important thing, finally, , , FINALLY they
have got rid of the old nicad rechargeable batteries and
are using lithium ion!! I know some people have problems
with batteries but speak as I find in all of the gadgets
I've had (ipods many, phones a few,cameras etc.) I find
that if you charge the battery, use 80-90% then recharge.
My batts have lasted excellently.
Another point worth mentioning is, you can't use this
shaver plugged into the mains, as it sits in it's
dock/pod/charger, then you plug this into the power to
charge it up. ( don't know if that's good or bad,but it is
always a cordless shaver!) To round this up I only shave
3-4 times a week + once a week wet shave my neck as well, (
this is different hair, on me anyway! ) brilliant shaver,
very pleased .

I bought this for a whopping £250 in the hope that it would
finally sort out the issue which i've always had which is
to remove hair from my neck area without leaving unsightly
red marks. It has special shaving heads which pivot in
every direction to get a really close shave -
apparently.
I wasn't disappointed.
The hype was definitely justified.
There were 4 in the range to choose from and this is the
top one as it comes with a clean and recharge unit which
ensures that it's always ready for me to use and in tip top
condition - cleaned and hygienic and fully charged. I
certainly think this feature is worth the extra money I
paid. I like the finer things in life and this was a bit of
an extravagance but as a treat to myself it was well worth
the money. The confidence it gives me due to not leaving my
face in pieces is worth every penny. It's by far the
closest electric shave i've ever had.
I would recommend this to everyone looking for a
new shaver.
