  A decent trimmer with some minor pitfalls

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  The Philips Lady Electric Shaver Series 6000 is a convenient trimmer that has a lot to offer in a little package. I'm not new to electric trimmers, but have previously only used the Norelco OneBlade (which is technically a men's trimmer) which has been my go-to for the past year because of its reliability). I will be comparing the two going forward because the OneBlade is my gold standard. The Lady Electric Shaver (which is a mouthful! I will call it the LES 6000 from here on out) is easy to hold with a smooth, ergonomic design. I liked the clean color scheme and found it more aesthetically pleasing than my OneBlade. It looks nice on the bathroom sink and comes with a plethora of accessories, some of which are more useful to me than others. The OneBlade doesn't come with a pouch or exfoliation glove, so it was certainly a pleasant surprise. The LES 6000 comes with the standard little booklet of instructions and information that the OneBlade did, and I have the same complaints about it that I did with the OB's: it needs to be more user-friendly. I would have liked a step-by-step guide with easier-to-follow illustrations instead of having to read the (entirely text-based) instructions and then go back to the other side to refer to "Fig. 16" or whatever like it's a textbook. I'm a visual learner but I think most people, even those who aren't, will find the instruction guide to be a slog. In use, it's a little loud but on par with my OneBlade. The rounded edges of the trimmer head and attachment tips make it feel gentler on the skin, especially when using the "smooth glide" attachment for those rounder areas like the kneecap and armpit. It can be used wet or dry and taken into the shower (though of course, not while plugged into the wall) which is critical for me as I, like most people, do most — if not all — of my shaving in the shower for easy cleanup. I couldn't use the OneBlade for body hair as it couldn't seem to grab my body hair well. Granted that it's a trimmer for men, I wasn't too disappointed since it works great on the pubic area. I'm E. Asian and have dark hair, but I don't grow a ton of body hair so I was convinced it would run into the same pitfalls as the OneBlade, thinking that maybe electric trimmers need a lot of hair to grab onto. To my surprise, the LES 6000 works fantastically on my body hair! It can get a pretty close shave with the trimmer comb, leaving about 0.5cm of hair if I had to guesstimate. That will leave behind noticeable hair, but as someone who personally prefers having body hair (I'm an adult human woman so of course I have body hair!) that is actually a benefit. Using the "skin stretcher" attachment gets a closer shave and only leaves behind visible stubbles. I also tried using no attachment and was pleased to see that it didn't cut the skin or cause irritation; of course, using it without an attachment gets the closest shave, but it still isn't a clean shave. To the eye, it looks pretty dang close, but it doesn't feel smooth to the touch. I didn't notice a huge difference using wet or dry. The guide recommends dry shaving, but I would say it seemed to work better on my legs wet. The LES 6000 does admirably on my body hair, but I did see it struggle with the pubic region. I just couldn't get a decent trim, even having trimmed with scissors beforehand, and it didn't get as close with the guard as it does with my OneBlade unless I took the attachment off. Trying to shave the pubic region with the trimmer comb as the instructions stipulate left behind maybe 0.5cm to 1cm of hair; in the LES 6000's defense, it was a very consistent trim but I did feel that even the standard guard on the OneBlade got closer. I gave up and used the skin stretcher cap in an attempt to get a closer trim, got down to maybe 0.25-0.3cm, which was closer to the OneBlade but still not quite there. So I then gave *that* up and just took the attachment off to see if it could match the OneBlade. Doing that, it did get pretty close since I think the OneBlade usually gets to around 0.2cm-ish with its guard on...but that's not how the LES 6000 is instructed to be used, and I don't feel safe using the trimmer without a guard on such a delicate area. This isn't a dealbreaker for me as I don't mind having ~0.3cm of hair down there (for health reasons alone, that is a good length), but if a woman wants a closer shave for date night or what have you, it will be a disappointing shave if following Phillips's instructions. A major consideration when it comes to electric trimmers is that even without an attachment/guard, you will not get as close a shave as a razor. This has its pros, as shaving can cause skin irritation, redness, ingrown hairs (which can then become infected), and razor bumps. This is especially a problem with the pubic region where cuts can become a genuine infection risk. On the other hand, some people want silky smooth skin; in this case, an electric trimmer from any brand will not work, even without using safety guards/attachments. Keeping your expectations realistic is key when getting into electric trimmers. I knocked a star off for the excessive charge time:battery life ratio. My OneBlade can charge in four hours and get a full hour; the LES 6000 needs TEN hours to have just forty minutes! When testing it out, it did run pretty close to that forty. Still, you will more or less always need to be charging this after use. I also dunno what plastic this trimmer is made out of, but hair sticks to it like nobody's business. I can easily dust off my OneBlade while shaving, but even rinsing it didn't get clean off all the hairs. The included brush is a must-have since without it you cannot get this thing clean. Overall, the Philips Lady Electric Shaver Series 6000 is a good trimmer. Since I can't use the OneBlade on my body hair, I am pleased to see that it works brilliantly for that purpose. It's well-designed, effective, and easy to use. The included "extras" are a nice cherry on top but alone are not worth opting for this over other trimmers. As it stands, I recommend the LES 6000 for women wanting to trim their body hair with an electric trimmer but the OneBlade for women wanting a closer shave as well as for men, keeping in mind that you will never get a clean shave even with the absolute best electric trimmer money can buy.

  Ladies wet and dry shaver to keep you trimmed up.

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  This Phillips Lady Shaver 6000, is a wet and dry shaver for women. It is very useful for trimming and grooming your bikini area, shaving your legs, shaving under your arms, and trimming wherever you need trimming. The razor comes with many accessories. The accessories included are the power handle, which after charging, lasts approximately 40-45 minutes. The charging USB cord, a white bag/pouch to hold all of the accessories and the handle, an exfoliating glove, a trimming head, a shaving head, skin stretcher cap, soft glide cap, trimming head comb, and a trimming comb. The trimmer, trimmer comb are used for the bikini area. All of the accessories are easy to clean with the useful cleaning brush. The razor doesn’t take that long to charge. Sometimes I got up to 45 minutes out of it, but most of the time it was around 38-40 minutes. It depends on how much you use it and whether or not you fully charge it or not. This is a really good set. While shaving my legs, I did have to go over them more than once. Under my arms, was the same. The trimmer, however, did a really good job using it once. I’d recommend this set to any lady that likes to keep trimmed and groomed
