disappointing

The most expensive shaver I ever bought - I gave up after two weeks and passed it on to a baby faced friend who hardly needs to shave at all.

It is uncomfortable to hold and difficult to control, it doesn't shave very close, it is hard on the skin, overall very poor.

I went back to foil.

so so performance

I bought this in Sept 08. The first one had to be returned as it wouldn't charge. The second one I liked; it had style, it was fun to use and I got almost a months shaves out of one charge.

It never shaved as close as the foil shavers and after 9 months use, it hardly shaves at all. Its fiddly to clean and the trimmer is too narrow to be of much use. Now I have to pay nearly £40 for a new set of cutters.

Back to the foils. Note: My beard is coarse and I am over 65!

The Best Ever

I've been shaving for 35 years with rotary razors. This is quite simply the best. No more after shave rash and a face as smooth as an androids bottom! Well done Philips
