Philishave Norelco 8550

No, I did not purchase a Sensotec HQ8894 from your site.
Simply because the Philishave 8550 that I purchased in 1997 is still running strong after all these 10 years. I used the shaver daily for all these years and the shaving heads are still performing as if it was newly purchased. The trick is the maintenance. After 9 years, one day the original Ni-Cadmium battery just died on me suddenly. I just went to any hardware shop with some soldering capability and he removed my depleted Ni-Cadmium batteries and replaced it with Sanyo long-lasting Lithium-Ion batteries. Once in 2 mths, I will flush the shaving heads with a strong jet of water to remove the accumulated hair and debrises. Viola, the 5885 shaver nows works like a dream. In fact, just this morning, I almost got a shaving rash, because the cut was so close. Reminded me of my first shave out of the box, in which I got a shaving rash and bits of lost skin because the shave was so new and the shaving was so close to the skin. Hiya, try it you will never know that a Philishave can last more than a decade with some of the best shaves possible. Go buy a Philishave it rocks, works way longer than the previous Brauns, Hitachi shavers that I've encountered

Heavenly shaving / shopping experience.

This shaver is amazing: it is everything I am looking for in an electric shaver and more. I cannot recommend the shaver or this company highly enough. If you're considering purchasing an electric shaver then look no further than the 8894. It is subtle, quiet, sleek, stylish...need I go on? Pros: 100 mins cordless shaving time (yes, that`s 100 minutes, guys), wonderful gadetry (you can play around with the display, dial in its head response etc...), tap washable...

Cons = Zero / zilch / nothing / nought.

The price was amazing, though I'm gutted it went down a tenner the day after I purchased it. The free gifts were a welcome bonus.

Everything about this shaver oozes style. If it`s good enough for James Bond (or Jenny, for that matter) then it`ll certanly do for me. Being a guy, one cannot help peeking at Bond with this shaver in action on Die Another Day...and dreaming.

I've used it for under a week, and its performance is truly amazing. To think the shave will get even better as time goes on is quite mind-boggling as I`m already getting a very close shave indeed.

I'm using the shaver with the powder stick, which thanks to the reviews and advice here on this site, has turned out to be a winning combination.

Amazing shaver, amazing price, amazing service! You'd be mad to miss out on this offer. Happy shaving days!

James Bond eh...!

Live in remote region and ordered this item on-line in the afternoon and received it by recorded delivery (with some free goodies!) the following morning. Excellent service from the supplier and I am delighted with the product. The shaver was supposedly used in a film by James Bond, although when I used it and looked in the mirror, I looked more like Jenny Bond! Still - at least I was clean shaven!
