5 out of 5 stars First class, well thought out product.   September 18, 2008

I used to own a philips shaver a few years ago, and never really got on with it. It clogged up, was difficult to clean, looked ugly, and didn't actually shave very well. Recently though I started to get fed up with wet shaving, and decided to give electrical razors another go. br / br /This shaver is excellent. The 'formula one' branding is a little cheesey and adolescent, but it's quite understated and not trying too hard. Actually the white and black colours of the Williams team look nice and clean and clinical on this product, and don't look as out of place in the bathroom as perhaps a ferrari red shaver might have done. The logos are discreet. br / br /In use, the shaver doesn't feel as powerful as my original philips one. It's not buzzing away in my hand like a garden strimmer and at first I mistook this for poor performance. It's actually that the motors are far more efficient than previous models. The are very effective and they smooth and quiet motor doesn't vibrate your face into pins and needles. It cuts close and smooth. br / br /It's very very easy to clean. Press a catch on the underside and the cutting head flips back. After each shave you can rinse the entire cutting mechanisim under the hot tap which is a brilliant way to keep it clean and the shaver working effectively. Occasionally the entire head detaches itself from the rest of the body, which is a bit disconcerting the first time it happens, but I found this made it easier to clean and it's easy to reattach. br / br /I'm delighted with this shaver. I've been using it for 6 months now, and it still cuts close and smooth and is as effective as the day I bought it. A good price too, and highly recomended.

Contrary to Big Daddys review my Philips is as quiet as a mouse and all I can say is Dave you got a duff one if yours is making that much noise, you can hardly hear it with its super quiet motor..Way quieter than my old Philips rechargeable which I had for over 6 years until I saw this and got it for peanuts instead of the 90+ price tag it is everywhere else.. br / br /Having now owned this Philips rechargeable Shaver around 4 weeks I think its time for the review on it.. br / br /Shave is good and close but not as good as a Razor but then you wouldn't expect it to be would you, this does a fine job of collecting and cutting all length hairs in all directions even under the neck area and under the nose creases.. br /It also has a built in pop up trimmer for sideburns and eyebrows and this does a great job at keeping the bushy brows under control, my only gripe is that it don't come with an adaptor for the plug but you can't have everything, found one in a local bargain store for 50p so I'm happy.. br / br /You can wash this model under the tap aswell which is just brilliant and saves me ages having to brush my last one out every other shave which was a chore to be honest, but this is clean in under 30 seconds and just leave it open to dry out naturally in the air. br / br /All in all for the price I paid I'm made up..Well worth double the price and more I just hope it gives me as much trouble free shaving as my old Philips has.. br / br /


4 out of 5 stars shaves well but very noisey   April 22, 2008

The only reason I am writing this is because I want to give people the feedback while considering to buy one or not as I used it myself. br /I bought this for 31.99 a great price,I would not pay more than 50 for one myself otherwise wait for the sales. br /Good all round shave for the money cheaper than buying a replacment battery in my old one, though it is a extremerly noisey machine. br / The first few days make you a bit sore as is with most new shavers. Until both the shaver and your face get accustomed to each other. Nice quick clean shave even under the neck a hard to reach place generally. br /The worst point I can say is that the whole head comes off far to easy for my liking and falls off with the slightest shake once opened, but does go back together with no problem as well.But if it keeps falling off after a slight shake to get the excess water off. After rinsing under the tap, I fear that this hitting the bottom of the sink over and over again will damage the heads early. The heads do not really need to come off at all any-way a mad construction in my veiw.I hope that this has help any one thinking of buying this item.
