The new generation of shavers

I had the opportunity to try out the Philips Norelco Shaver 9000 Prestige and I have to say, it's truly a remarkable electric shaver. This rechargeable wet or dry shaver is perfect for anyone who wants a close, comfortable shave without compromising on skin comfort.
The shaver's NanoTech precision blades are super strong and incredibly precise. They're even strengthened with nano particles, which means they can cut hair with incredible precision for the closest results. I was particularly impressed with the shaver's excellent skin comfort system, which made shaving a breeze even on a longer, seven-day beard. I also noticed that the new wider, rounder openings caught more hair per pass, which definitely made a difference.
One of the coolest features of the Philips Norelco Shaver 9000 Prestige is the BeardAdapt Sensor. This sensor checks hair density 15 times per second and automatically adapts the shaver to your hair. Plus, with three customizable modes to choose from (Sensitive, Normal, and Fast), you can easily customize your shave for the best possible results.
The shaver is also really versatile, offering both wet and dry options, and comes with a skin-friendly precision trimmer that's perfect for maintaining your mustache and sideburns. Plus, the included premium travel case is a great bonus - it's the perfect way to protect your shaver and all its accessories when you're on the go.
The shaver's Lithium-ion battery is also incredibly powerful and long-lasting, which means you can get up to 60 minutes of shaving time on just one hour of charging. However, it's worth noting that the shaver only operates in cordless mode. And while the replacement heads do need to be replaced every 12 months, the SH98/82 or SH91/52 replacement heads are easy to find and sold separately.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Philips Norelco Shaver 9000 Prestige to anyone in search of a high-quality, customizable shaving solution that delivers a close, comfortable shave.

Your Next Smart and Close Shave!

Philips Norelco shavers have become the gold standard for rotary shavers, in my opinion. The S9000 Prestige is a wet and dry tripleheader shaver from the manufacturer that promises (and delivers) the closest shave yet.
Below is a list of the contents of my package when received:
• S9000 triple head shaver
• Cleaning brush
• Trimming attachment
• Power cord
• Quick clean pod and cartridge
• Protective pouch
• Manual
The S9000 Prestige is sizeable and has a gratifying wield to it. During use though, the more obvious feature is the closeness and contouring abilities of the shaver. The heads appear suspended and are able to pivot in a multidirectional fashion. Between the NanoTech precision blades and the “Top-spin” digital motor, hair pulling shaving is a thing of the past. The user is afforded the option of three settings (comfort, dynamic or efficiency) that appear to be essentially three different operational motor speeds. In my experience, all modes delivered irritation-free shaves, either dry or wet; wet shaving delivered the more effortless experience as can be expected.
The device appears well-built and should last for years; I still own older Philips Norelco shavers that date to the mid 2000s. Yes, they still work. The grip is also comfortable and the design is attractive.
Feedback is communicated via a monochromatic digital screen (about an inch in size) on the front of the shaver. Audible beeps confirm when the shaver is plugged in. Notifications displayed include:
• Battery level
• Charging status
• Blade cleaning reminder
• Blade replacement reminder (model SH91, every twelve months)
• Personal comfort setting
• Travel lock engaged status (activated via long press of power button)
The S9000 Prestige is powered by a Lithium-ion battery that charges in about an hour. A full charge is capable of about sixty minutes of runtime. There appears to be a wireless variant but my unit charges solely via a corded adapter. An added advantage is the fact that a five-minute charge will provide enough juice for a quick shave.
To help maintain hygiene, Philips ships this model with a Quick Clean Pod. The idea is a proprietary cleaning gel that thoroughly cleans the shaving blades for longevity and the aforementioned hygienic purposes. Philips suggests this will provide a better clean than simply rinsing with water, however, it appears the cleaning pods once activated have a shelve life that will require replacement (model CC12) from one to three months at max. Equipped with a gyroscope, the shaver detects when it has been inverted onto the pod to begin the cleaning process.
The S9000 Prestige also boasts versatility. The unit ships with a trimmer for styling/edging facial hair. To swap, the shaving head is simply removed (vertically) and the trimmer snapped in. A compatible nose trimmer attachment can also be purchased for use. A protective carrying/travel pouch is provided to help store unit, charger, cleaning brush and attachments. My only gripe with the unit is that I always appear to get a trickle of water whenever I pick up, from possibly the last rinse. Not a big deal.
For facial hair, three devices are typically resorted to: a shaving blade (stick), foil shaver or a rotary shaver. In my experience, rotary shavers have offered the perfect balance between the least irritation and closeness of shave. The Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige in my opinion lives up to the brand’s heritage in an exciting package; highly recommended.

The Norelco wet/dry shaver S9000 Prestige provides an extremely smooth shave and I also now have to admit much less skin irritation compared to my previous Braun shaver. I thought that I had owned top of the line shavers in the past but this unit is near perfection in every way as far as I am concerned. The unit came well packaged with thought given to reduce damage in shipping and was very nicely put together. Inside the box was the Shaver, a travel case, power/charging cord and a cleaning brush. The shaver battery was approxamitely 50 percent charged when it arrived. I reccomend fully charging the battery before first use. You can also charge the battery for one hour and it gives about 60 minutes of shaving depending on your circumstances. This shaver has very flexible heads that do a very good job of floating along your skin. The heads are surrounded by ComfortGlide rings. These rings have a protective coating to help reduce any possible skin irritation and I found them to work very well. They packet claims to have self-sharpening blades, which if true should cut down on replacement costs as they are never cheap. During the week that I have used this I cannot really tell if they do self-sharpen. I used the shaver in both wet and dry conditions and both seemed to work well. I did not notice any difference in either condition. The pop-up trimmer worked well trimming my sideburns. The shaver came with a cleaning base that cleans and lubricates in just a minute by simply inserting the shaver. I felt that this feature worked well and for me the only drawback is that you have to keep buying the pods to clean your shaver. Overall I am very pleased with this unit and would certainly reccomend.

This Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige electric razor kit is a complete kit. It comes with the razor, clipper attachment, cleaning brush, charging cord, cleaning solution, cleaning pod, very nice hard case, and precise instruction manual. The razor provides a very close shave. It has different levels to provide the best shave possible for your skin. The razor head pops loose with a press of a button, so you can clean it well with water. The entire razor is for use in the shower or dry. The cleaning pod is super cool. It takes a minute to set the razor on it and push the button. It does the rest, and it also dries in place. The cleaning solution smells good too. The razor was used wet and dry, and there really isn’t a preference either way. They both provided a really good close shave that didn’t irritate the skin. I will say that the first time it was used, it didn’t irritate the skin a tiny bit, but it quickly went away. It tells you in the manual that it might do that. The display is great on this razor. It tells you the percentage of charge left, when to clean the razor and more. The head of the razor comes off in order to attach the trimmer. It’s easy to remove and put it on and then switch it back. The case is a hard case, and it has plenty of room to store everything, including the charging cable, so it makes it easy to travel with it. I highly recommend this razor.

Simply the Best Electric Razor Ever

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This is simply the best electric razor made. The closest shave I have ever gotten from an electric razor. This thing is all quality. Clearly well designed and well built. It feels great in your hand. It includes everything you need! I have owned many electric razors in the past and they are great for everyday shaving, but never come close to a real razor. This electric razor is the closest to a real razor shave you can get. I almost can’t tell the difference. The cut is so smooth. More importantly, it is irritation and knick free. I use this to shave my face as well as my head. Almost zero redness after using this on my head. Usually I get small red ideation patches. Not with this one. Cleanup is a breeze and the included cleaning kit makes it a home-run. The unit charges quickly and does not get hot. When you pick up this unit, you think one thing. Quality. Seriously. It is the finest electric razor I have owned. You can use this razor wet or dry. I like to put a thin layer of shave gel on my face and use Head Slick in my head. For me it’s the perfect combination. I highly recommend this unit. It is worth the extra cost to buy this unit. I see this unit lasting for MANY years. Love it!!!!

I cant speak highly enough about the Norelco S9000 prestige! The close cut shave on this shaver is outstanding! Holding it is comfortable and lightweight, it glides across your face and moves with the curves of your face. It has a pressure guard sensor that allows you to know what pressure ypu need to apply to get a perfect shave. It self sharpens you dont have to worry about the blades going dull. It is easy to work using the OLED display. I love that it is cordless and has a quick clean pod that drep cleans it in 1 minute so i dont have to manually clean it. It being customized to your skin gives you a perfect tailored shave. Overall this shaver gives me a precise quick clean shave easily and effectively in no time, it adopts to every curve in my face with ease, very easy to work, and takes seconds to clean it without having to do it manually and waste time! After using this shaver i dont think anything else can match the work that this one does in such little time. I highly recommend getting this shaver!

Here’s a sample review for a Philips razor:
I recently purchased it, and I’m thoroughly impressed with its performance. The razor provides a smooth, close shave without any irritation, even on sensitive skin. The blades are sharp and durable, and the ergonomic design makes it easy to hold and maneuver, especially around the jawline and neck.
The battery life is fantastic; I only need to charge it once every few weeks with regular use. It’s also waterproof, so it’s perfect for both dry and wet shaving, which is a huge plus for me. The cleaning system is easy and efficient, keeping the razor in excellent condition without much effort.
Overall, it offers a premium shaving experience and is well worth the investment. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality electric razor.

Cleaning pod is much improved - shaver is quiet

Having owned Norelco shavers my entire adult life, it’s a little hard to think - how can they make them better year after year? The last one I had came with a big clunky cleaning system that, while it did charge the shaver, it took up a lot of counter space.
This newest version is quite an improvement on that cleaning system. Instead of being a separate device to plug in, it relies on the shavers motors to clean, so no plug! Slight downside is that there is no stand-up charger for the shaver anymore.
For the cleaning pod, it is basically a plastic housing that contains the cleaning solution container. To use it, you just put your shaver in the cleaner (there’s no way to put it in wrong - it just won’t fit) and press the power button. Literally takes about a minute, and you will even see a light indicating if the cleaning solution needs to be replaced.
In the box you get a nice traveling hard case, the shaver itself, the beard trimmer attachment, and a shaver brush. I like that the display has multiple indicators including a large number for the battery. Additionally I do think it is subjectively quieter than the previous Norelco shaver I had. Overall, this is a great product and in the past week of use, it has maintained a quick, quiet, and close shave.

The razor I was looking for

I finally splurged for this razor, and I have not been disappointed. I shave after showering in the morning, so I shave with a dry face. The razor is very comfortable, and this method works for me. Except for one Braun, I've only had Philips Norelco shavers, and this one is much better than my last one. The shave is closer and, again, comfortable. I like that it has 3 settings to match the comfort level you want, and the charge lasts a considerable amount of time. I don't shave every day, and it even works when I've gone days without shaving -- not easy for some razors. Cleaning is a breeze, which is something I really like.

So far so good. I bought this razor for my son who was a but terrified of using a standard razor and so far he loves it. Great shave, super easy to use, and the techy element is right up his alley. Will post again if there are any durability concerns, but if no update from me, consider this a durable product. Got a Black Friday deal, so extra good value!

I had the previous version of this shaver and really liked it, but I'm even more impressed with this new shaver. It cuts much better than my previous shaver, but I think my previous shaver was just wearing out after all the years of use, even though I had replaced the heads a number of times. Gives a really close and smooth shave. I was worried because the heads appeared to have a wide edge next to the blade, but it hasn't been an issue. Expensive, but I bought it on sale.

Excellent cut with a nice case!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This electric razor offers one of the best shaves I've ever experienced with an electric razor! The cut is smooth and efficient when used dry or wet and the screen and buttons are easily distinguished. The included accessories are extremely nice and offer an extremely premium feel. The razors in the cutting head are very sharp and provide a smooth transition around the face and scalp with no fear of accidental cuts, pulling or tugging of the hair. The razor body is heavier than lower cost razors, with a very nice balance and feel in the hand, much of which is due to the more metal construction and straight trimmer not being affixed on the back of the trimmer like many others have. The straight trimmer (commonly used for trimming sideburns and beard edges) is a completely separate head attachment that offers the same flexibility as the cutting head and offers a very smooth, quiet operation. Cleaning is extremely easy, with the razor including Philips Norelco's self-cleaning base and solution in the box. You just set the razor in the base when it alerts you on the display (or when you feel ready) and hit start.
Overall the razor is fantastic and easy to use, providing an excellent shave with little to no skin irritation. I would definitely recommend, especially if it is on sale!

I bought this razor for my dad, his was about 13 years old and he didnt really take care of it so it was time for a upgrade. According to him, its extremely convenient due to the fact that its light, compact and has a carry case. Hes able to use it on the way to work and doesnt have problems with it. The charge lasts him all week and he keeps it clean. He seems to be thrilled with it.

Had this item for about a month now. The biggest thing i noticed is how long it keeps a charge. It holds a charge for well over two weeks. That in itself was worth this purchase for me. The shave itself is comfortable. The razor has two speeds for your liking. Overall, i rate this 10/10

But beware it didn’t come with the flat charger. It comes to the plug and it doesn’t come with a nose hair trimmer so I guess that’s how they’re saving money. Also it doesn’t come with the light that shows you if you’re pushing too hard green or blue light it’s too bad.

Amazing shaver. I have tried every other high end shaver on the market (Braun, Panasonic) and this is better than all of the others! If you have thick course hair that grows in all different directions, get this shaver. It also is great on sensitive skin
