My father (53) and I (24) to use the Philips shaver now since 2 weeks. We are both very pleased with the shaving performance of the rotary shaver. We both have a very strong beard growth, yet the result is (except directly on the larynx, which in my opinion is to create but with no dry shaver) very thoroughly. Even difficult locations on the jaw and neck are clean-shaven. In especially my father was very surprised and very happy with the result. After shaving, we did not have any signs of skin irritation or the like (big plus !!). The trimmer is used mainly by me. In the first shave I had to find minor issues the proper posture. With practice, the results are now but satisfactory. Without top trim is also a very short possible. Today I then once again tried shaving with shaving cream (wet shaving). The result is felt even more skin-friendly than anyway. In my opinion, the extra time required is (lather, rinse in between, etc.) but not necessary. I will therefore continue to use the dry shaving. Other impressions: Is the shaver must be charged because the charging station (probably) do not shave and invite very unwieldy and a simultaneous thought - - The design is very high quality and attractive, the razor is (two) well in hand - The bag is to travel probably not as convenient as it is not padded - The volume felt my father and I still very quiet than normal, neither too loud - Simple and understandable instructions - The cleaning is needed relatively easy and even after every shave - The nose and ear hair trimmer was used by my father, and after a brief try, he was very satisfied with the result (thoroughly and gently) All in all, we are both very pleased and would not hesitate to recommend this shaver.
