Helpful in a Pinch
The Philips SatinShave battery operated shaver is a decent option for shaving my legs, especially on the go. The SatinShave can be used wet or dry, this is extremely convenient when you don’t have time to use shaving cream. The batteries are not rechargeable. They are standard AA batteries and 2 come with the shaver. The unit is waterproof and has a plastic cover for the working end to be protected while not in use. My biggest use for this shaver will be the dry shaving option. I used it in the shower and didn’t get as close a shave as a razor. If I’m going to bother using shaving cream, I will use the old fashion option because the results are a little bit smoother. Additionally, it took just as long to use the shaver in the shower as a standard razor. Also, I found I had to repeat areas to try to get a nice close shave. Using the SatinShave on my armpits was very uncomfortable because of the clipper edges that are present on both sides of the shaver. I didn’t realize how much it was grating on my curves in the arpits, and they were very scratched up afterwards. It burned that night and took 48 hours to full resolve. I used hydrocortisone cream on my pits to soothe the scratched skin. I may get a less painful result if I pay close attention to the clipper edges of the shaver. If this is the case, there should be much better instructions about armpits and the clipper edges irritating those tight, curved spaces. To recap, using it on the legs is great, the armpits, not my cup of tea for this device. It can shave most any area of the body. It did work on the lady parts, if that area needs shaving, it can do the job. I’d use extreme caution though with the clipper edges.

Great Value; Great Shaver
This is my first try at an electric shaver. It was fast and painless. This shaver did the job on my underarms and legs and just a couple of minutes. I used it the shower to contain the hairs, and didn't use any shaving cream. I was impressed at how less irritated my skin was using this product rather than a regular razor. It just takes 2 AA batteries; no cords, no chargers. My one complaint is that the shave is not quite as close and smooth as a regular razor. I've read that's a common issue with electric shavers, so this one is no different. However, my hair grows so fast that I will definitely opt to use this shaver over a regular one any day of the week. And with summer coming up, I can't wait to use this to maintain my bikini line. This will be perfect for all the summer vacations I have planned. And then the value of this product! For less than $20, you too can have a convenient little electric shaver to keep the hair away quickly and comfortably. Highly recommend!

Value Priced Gem!
The Phillips Satin Shave Essential is very impressive. I thought it would not be that good considering the relatively low price point and the fact that they also sell one that is twice as much. Boy was I wrong the Phillips satin shave is very powerful and the design is perfect for trimming or shaving clean without worrying about hurting yourself. This product is very well made and has some weight to it. I assume because it has a fairly beefy motor in it. It is very easy to use and ergonomically friendly. Not only that you can use it for wet or dry shaving and in or out of the shower. It also has a detachable head for easy cleaning and is the perfect size to carry with you on trips. It uses two replaceable AA batteries that are provided in the box. That way you have no rechargeable built-in battery that can wear out. This little gem is just a great value. If you are looking for something like this it will work anywhere on your body and you just can not beat the price. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that wants to stay smooth and sexy!
