Philips Electric Shaver Buying Guide

Philips produce a wide range of electric shavers, and used to have a specific shaver brand, Philishave. Although Philishave is no longer used as a brand name, its legacy lives on the current Philips models of today. There are currently many Philips shavers to suit all pockets and shaving requirements.

Philips Ranges

In the following section we have identified the main Philips model ranges. You will find all shavers within a range will give the same quality of shave as they share common parts such as the shaving heads and motor.

The different models within that range allow you to choose features such as low charge warning lights, charging level displays, longer running time, shorter charging time etc. Generally, by moving up to a higher range you will find more advanced features and rotary cutting heads.

Let's get started in helping you choose the best Philips shaver for your needs...
