  Great Little Shaver

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  Inside the box for the Philips Series 6000 Shaver, you’ll find the shaver itself, a trimming comb, a skin stretcher cap, a soft glide cap, an exfoliation glove, a cleaning brush, a detachable 3ft USB power cord, and some documentation. The shaver body is constructed of a glossy white plastic with a matte lavender plastic on the head. The power button is a physical button located on the front of the body, about where your thumb would rest. The head is removable via a small button on the back of the body. The blade assembly is easily found via online retailers and is reasonably priced. The shaver feels good in hand. It is easily gripped and not slippery, even when wet, despite the hard, smooth plastic construction. Dry use on legs has produced a pretty smooth shave with no skin irritation. Operation is a little loud, but not annoyingly so. Battery life has been excellent, having used it several days in a row without recharging. A couple of notes: Due to the wet/dry nature of the shaver, it cannot be charged during operation. There appears to be no indicator on the shaver for charge level. And, frustratingly, the instructions stress that you should only use a Philips power source HQ87 to charge the shaver. Yet, this is not included. (For what its worth, I used an old phone charger and it seemed to work just fine). All in all, the Series 6000 shaver produces good results at a fair price and should serve you well.

  Flexible and practical lady shaver

  Following is the review based on the usage by 14 years old girl, directly from her input: - easy grip - works better on medium/long hairs - works well both wet and dry - removable head - can withstand many uses after charging just once - no problems with charging - head is a little hard to clean due to the spinning thing in the middle - can use both ways because the design of the razor includes a blade on both side (ex: instead of having to lift the razor after every use you can just glide it up and down) - lightweight - bulky - unlikely to get a cut from the razor And my wife added on - It is smooth and doesn't pull the hair. - Wish the cleaning brush were bit longer as it is quite tiny. - During the dry shave, the heir falls down on the top of the shaver instead of collected inside, and it get stick to the shaver - The blade is not sharp such when touched doesn't cut On the battery, after full charge, it seems to last at least three days, although charging took quite a while. Aside of that, it during the conversation about the review, it was repeated several time it is bulky to carry as if needed for a trip. Also, it was noticed about its noise a bit loud for it considered to be used, and wished the head would move. In the box: 1. Trimming comb 2. Skin stretcher cap 3. Soft glide cap 4. Exfoliation Glove 5. Charging cable.

  Wet/Dry Rechargeable Shaver - Easy to Use

  The Philips Lady Shaver 6000 series is a rechargeable wet/dry shaver for full body use. The shaver comes several accessories, which include an exfoliating glove, trimmer comb, skin stretcher attachment, and a soft glide cap. The shaver includes a charging cable, but you need to supply your own USB charging plug. The shaver is lightweight and very easy to use, and the 40+ minute runtime means a single charge should easily cover a session. My GF was the user of this shaver, which made for a fun time of asking questions. She has thicker hair and sensitive skin, so trying out a new shaver/razer hasn’t always worked out. She originally came from using a Schick Hydro Silk Razer + Bikini Trimmer, but also uses Gillette Venus Disposables. Her Schick was in need of replacement, so the Philips Lady Shaver became the next candidate. Going over the included accessories required us to look through the manual to understand how everything worked. The shaver has the center cutting foil (closest shave) and trimmer heads on the front and rear. The trimmer tips are rounded to reduce scratches on sensitive skin. The skin stretcher attachment is used for larger areas like your legs, and it helps to pull the skin tight and make the hairs stand up straight. The soft glide cap the clips on and covers the rear trimmer head. With it in place it helps the shaver to glide over curvier areas without nipping your skin. The trimmer comb clips onto the shaver head and leaves behind 3mm of hair – this head is recommended for shaving around sensitive areas like within the bikini line. The comb can also be used if longer hair is present that needs to be trimmed back before being cut with the shaver foil. The shaver foil can be removed for replacement once it stops cutting effectively – the manual recommends every 12 months. The replacement head is BRL140, which appears to be readily available online. My GF usually shaves during her showers with shaving gel/cream to assist, so the thought of using a dry skin shaver was new. This is mostly down to issues with sensitive skin, and getting razer burn/bumps without it. We had a wedding to attend last weekend so that was her first chance to try it out – she used the exfoliating glove the day before like the instructions recommended. Dry shaving without any attachments worked just fine – she did a pit and a leg without any issue. She tried the soft glide cap on the other pit and back of her knee like the manual suggested. Results were pretty similar, but she felt covering up the back trimmer head with the cap gave her a little more assurance that she wouldn’t get nipped. The peace of mind was worth using it. She used the skin stretcher attachment on the other leg – no issues at all with it. The shaver cut the hair more efficiently with fewer passes, which was the goal. The trimmer comb was used for trimming around the bikini area. She said it worked fine, but she preferred the disposables + shave cream for the closer shave. She said if time was an issue the shaver was the faster option and would work in a pinch. After shaving she uses lotion to avoid dry/irritated skin being any issue. Over the next 2 days she didn’t experience any razor burn or bumps, and only had 1 ingrown which is much better than usual. Switching over to a wet shave she went through the same process this weekend. Results were fairly similar. Shaving went a little faster on her legs with the skin stretcher attachment. She tried shaving areas with just water, and other spots with cream. The cream worked/felt the best, but just using water worked fine as well while also being a little faster. Shaving around the bikini area the assessment remained the same – disposable was better, but the comb attachment worked fine and didn’t result in any skin getting nipped. Overall, the shaver was a little faster than using the disposable if she didn’t use any shaving cream. Once the shaving cream was in place the disposable worked faster and gave a slightly closer shave. She did find she missed a small spot on her leg, which usually is something she has to wait for her next shower to clear up, but with the shaver she just waiting for her skin to completely dry before touching things up quickly. Again, after 2 days she has no bumps or razer burn and no ingrown hairs. After 2 usages the shaver still has charge left, but I don’t know if it would make it through a 3rd session. She liked the shaver’s ergonomics, and said it was easy to hold whether wet or dry. The surface texture really helped in the shower to maintain grip. The overall shape of the razer body made it easy to hold in position for shaving wherever. Overall, this is a good little shaver setup. It provided a comfortable shave whether used wet or dry. It worked well on thicker hair, and didn’t cause any issues like razor burn.
