A decent trimmer with some minor pitfalls
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.
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

A decent, convenient razor!
This is a decent razor! It isn’t the most precise razor in the world (which is to be expected from an electric razor), but it works fairly well. It came with a carrying pouch, several attachments, a charging cord, and an exfoliating glove. The design of the razor is great; the color is very nice and the device feels smooth and sleek. There is a slight weight to the tool that gives it a high quality feel as well! The versatility of the razor is great in that it can shave anywhere on the body (including the bikini area if desired), although it was most effective at shaving the legs. It works both wet and dry which is a great perk too. One downside is that the shaved hair tends to get trapped in the razor fairly easily instead of falling out, so it can be a hassle to have to stop and remove the hair periodically. When used on the legs, this razor provided a shave that was clean and smooth to the eye, but to the touch it was not the closest shave in the world. Overall, this razor is convenient and works very well for a quick and clean shave, but unfortunately it is better on some parts of the body than others, and you could likely get a closer shave with a plastic razor.

Versatile Electric Shaver
The Lady Shaver Series 6000 by Philips is a versatile electric shaver to have in my bathroom. I am able to use it on my underarms, bikini area, and legs. On top of its versatility in body area coverage, it's also suitable for both wet and dry use. I mostly prefer dry use. This set comes with two razor heads, the main shaver and trimmer. The main shaver head comes with a 3mm comb for the bikini area, a soft glide cap for the underarms, and a skin stretcher cap for the legs. The trimmer head also comes with a 3mm comb and is smaller than the shaver head. The main shaver head works well enough on my underarms and legs with the proper attachments but in my opinion the trimmer and comb are designed better for use in the bikini area. The way the comb piece attaches to the main shaver makes it so the trimmed hair gets caught within the piece of plastic that curves under the comb teeth. It doesn’t allow the hair to fall off easily. However, the trimming head comb is built differently so loose hair doesn’t get trapped. As far as battery life, I've used it three times with no issues, and it is advertised to work for up to 40 minutes. The included pamphlet is extensive with small text, but was effective in teaching me about the accessories. This set comes with a little cleaning brush, exfoliating glove, storage pouch, and a USB charging cable; charging box/adapter is not included. I see myself continuing to use this Philips electric shaver for my legs and bikini area, but I wish the main shaver comb was designed differently. Electric shavers like these are not going to give a super close shave, which is understandable, but I did notice my Philips Norelco electric shaver gives a closer shave than this Lady Shaver Series 6000 model.
