I like its design and practicality.
The Philips Norelco electric shaver is practical, easy to clean and solves any eventuality during shaving. Its compact design makes it perfect to take anywhere. The shaving quality is exceptional thanks to the sharp blades and triple action cutting system. In addition, Philips Norelco's customer service is fast and professional. Overall, it is an excellent choice for those looking for a reliable and convenient shaver.

Best Shave so Far
This is the first traditional electric shaver I have used. I use to normally use just regular razor blades, and for the last couple of years, I have been using the Philips Oneblade. I have to say that after a couple of weeks of using this I much prefer it to the Oneblade, which I had been thoroughly happy with. The most important part is obviously how easy does it complete the shave, and I feel this is much easier than the Oneblade. It gets just as close, and I have to say much closer at the jawline than the other shaver/blades I have used. It takes me far less time to complete the shave, and again all the while feeling much closer. Now, the instructions say to give your face about 20 days of using this shaver exclusively to allow your skin/beard a chance to get used to the blades on the shaver. The first shave I had with this went great, and I had no irritation after. The second one was during a few days off of work, and I had about a week’s worth of growth, and that one was a bit rough. The shaves right after with just a couple of days of growth have gone much smoother. I think this works much better if you are shaving every couple of days as opposed to allowing a week to go by between shaves. Something that I really like is that this shaver is much quieter than Oneblade. I don’t mind shaving even while my wife is still sleeping. It’s quiet enough that I feel like it will not wake her. The last thing that I really enjoy about using this shaver is that your whiskers aren’t going to go all over the place, like with the Oneblade. When I use the Oneblade the cleanup is annoying, whiskers all over the sink, counter, and my hands and arms. This shaver captures 99% of those whiskers and allows you to open the shaver head to dispose of them after. Cleanup is so much easier and faster. I can wholeheartedly recommend using this shaver. Easy to use, close shave, little to no irritation, quiet, and quick cleanup. Water-resistant so a quick rinse helps to keep it clean, the charge lasts a long time so if I forget to charge it I don’t have to worry if it’s ready for the next shave. I would be ok with leaving the charger at home if I was going to be making a quick weekend trip.

Another great Philips razor - with beard trimmer!
The interesting thing about the Philips razors/shavers is that it seems no matter which one they come out with, they all work great. Never an issue, the provide plenty of features, with the end result and most important thing, a great shave! This one is cordless, can give you up to 40 minutes of run time, and has a very nice on/off switch with a light that shows you while charging, when fully charged, and when battery is low. If all is good, no light. They refer to the head shape as 4D conforming to all areas of your face, cool way to mention this. And it mentions 27 self sharpening blades too. These are great features for this price point. There is a pop up beard trimmer. There is also a pop up switch for the head assembly to pop us so you can rinse out the blades and also inside where the shavings collect. I'd like to say that I have never had a bad Philips razor/shaver. They always work, work well, and last well beyond the one year they recommend for blade replacement.

Nice look and comfortable shave
Been using this electric shaver for a few days now. I like the way it fits in my hand and it’s easy to maneuver as I glide across my face to get that close shave I desire. Simple to operate and easy to use for trimmer function as well. I’ve been able to clear up my 4 days of scruffy coarse beard hair with some extra spent time and this shaver. Maintaining a clean shave daily is a breeze with this unit. The flex heads manage to be a nice touch to move with the curves of your face and jawline. This holds a charge well and love that it can be used with or without the cord. Rinse it out when done and it’s good to go for the next round. Comfortable Ergonomic Close shave Make this a must in your men’s grooming habit to save time and get a smooth face.

A great razor that excels at its price point
I have tried A LOT of electric razors over the years, and I am quite picky. I have a horrific combination of coarse hair and sensitive skin that is prone to ingrown hairs and 'pizza neck' from shaving with a blade or when it is exposed to the electric nibbling gerbils that some companies would have the audacity to call an electric razor. This razor has passed my test and is going to stay in my collection! Some pros that I love about it are that the whole razor, not just the blade head, is washable. Thus, shaving in the shower is a go for those who prefer. I would not fully submerse this, though. I also appreciate the pop-up trimmer. I maintain a tight beard around my jaw line, so having this trimmer built into it allows me to keep that edge going. I will say, I have pretty nappy hairs and this pop-up trimmer, although useful, does not quite have the horsepower that my Norelco 7000 does for buzz-sawing its way through my steel wool facial hair. The trimmer otherwise finds use in picking up the small hairs that the main blades miss. Your facial hair has a grain, just like wood, and sometimes hairs will grow against or opposite of the normal grain. The trimmer is great for spot trimming those hairs. The blades themselves are gentle, efficient, and achieve a closer shave than anything else I have. If I had to pick just one razor as a man who shaves his whole face, this would definitely be the one. This razor is definitely staying in my rotation for getting that close, date-night level shave on the neck without suffering through pizza-neck the next day (or even later the same day) like I always have with blades. Buy this with confidence.
