Would just like to give an update. Have been using this shaver for a few weeks now and without doubt this is the best shaver i have ever owned. Obviously the closest shave is by using a blade but this shaver gives a very satisfactory result with no effort at all its brilliant.
Thanks for excellent service. My previous shaver was the Braun 720 wouldn't shave bum fluff and sounded like a moto gp racing bike. To be presentable all day i need to shave twice and the HQ8260 gives me a smooth and close shave even though the revs of the cutters seem to be on the slow side. So if you have tough whiskers you should be ok with this shaver.
The HQ8260 replaced my previous Philips 'Cool Shave' which cannot now be purchased.
Although the rotary heads do provide a fairly close shave they do seems to revolve more slowly than my previous shaver, and the whole process takes longer than before.
The goods were dispatched very quickly and were well packaged.
