First time I have used a electric shaver after years of wet shaves got this when it was on offer. Was abit apprehensive to use this at first but it is a very comfortable shave prefer the dry shave to using it wet myself only negative is it doesn’t get all the hairs close to the bottom of my neck .

Much better than my Philishaves for getting rid of a weekends growth. I usually had a wet shave on Monday because it took too long with the Philips items, but I don’t need to now.

This item arrived promptly and was in excellent condition. bought as a gift so can’t review performance.

Probably the reason that I’m not as impressed with this shaver as I might be is that I tend to only shave every few days, allowing some stubble to develop. I must admit that when I read in the blurb about this razor that it could manage different lengths of hair (“after the weekend”), I was quite excited. It turns out it means different lengths less than 1mm. At 2mm it’s quite painful and at longer it’s impossible!
However, otherwise I have no complaints. It provides a close shave with little or no irritation (as long as you’re almost clean shaven already!). Ergonomically and aesthetically it’s great, the charger is great, and the fact that you can wash it with water is a real bonus – instead of worrying you will electrocute yourself or knacker it if you get a bit of water!
So overall I’d say this is a nice shaver, and worth the money if you don’t allow your beard to grow very much, but as with most electric shavers, it’s pretty useless if you don’t shave daily.

The shaver is light to hold and easy to use. The rubberised non-slip sides are especially good if using in the shower. I have not generally been a huge fan of electric shavers. A dry shave with this is just the same as others I have experienced – it is difficult to get a close shave on your neck and under the chin. However it works much better in the shower and is ideal for lazy weekend shaves – although it is still not as close a shave as a blade. The head tilts to the contours on your face and is thus fairly gentle.
The head is easy to clean. It just pops off and you can wash it under the tap.
The shaver recharges efficiently. However the green light that is supposed to flash when it is fully charged is indistinguishable. Similarly the orange light that should light up when it has a low charge is diffivult to see.
The shaver will be good for trips away rather than taking all the wet shaving gear, and especially for camping trips.
