A Field Report

I was looking for a razor which can meet my needs as a soldier, on the one hand, in terms of skin compatibility, as I am quite sensitive at this point, on the other hand, because a daily shave, or even more often for practical everyday part and so the wear plays a considerable role ,

I started with had a Gilette Mach 3 razor Good, covers the basic needs, but may be permanently quite charming for the skin. Price performance ratio is top but at this toy. But since my employer thought better shaving is necessary, he empfiel me to use an electric razor.
I also found the Panasonic ES7036 (aka. People's razor). As might be expected for a cheap entry-level model. Was thoroughly and reliably for a short time, but I made the little mistake to take him in the mission abroad. So then the cutting blades have been slowly but surely torn more or less from the dust and sand and then I'm back a new shaver after just a few weeks use.
I found once again in a wet razor, the Gillette Fusion Power. Unnecessary vibration that I have actually used only for the first trials, this he has irritated my skin a lot easier and the blade wear was also at 1.5 weeks. In the long run me this thing was ultimately too expensive and impractical.
So I tried it thoroughly, super skin and compared to Gilette also cheaper with the Wilkinson Hydro 5 Super. Only problem: Where can I get new blade sets forth? In my village there is this awkward in any supermarket and 30 kilometers to go for just a few blades I did not want to be honest also. So I save this shaver rather for emergencies as a replacement or for the next foreign assignment to go and buy a new one.

Motivated as I am, there should be an electric again, not least because the blades durability. From friends and comrades, I heard many good things about the Philips equipment so should it ever be a. Then here I did not save in the processing and the blade system also and soon found a perfect compromise when Philips PT920 / 18th centuries.

The build quality is excellent, the suspension Scheer heads individually and intuitive to use. The facial contours this unit adjusts reasonably well. Because of a distinctive lower jaw I had at this point always the most trouble, but you soon will because the correct holding technique. Thus, I do not blame the manufacturer and that the razor can not shave 90 ° around the corner)
In operation of this Philips is also surprisingly quiet. At first I thought the battery is weak / not loaded correctly, but was mistaken.
From shave her can be proud of too. When it is shaved long enough even entsprächend thoroughly. The Wilkinson was thorough but at this point in comparison and faster.
The cleaning is done quickly. Supplied brush and running water handed me always enough until now.
The manufacturer's information regarding charging time and battery life have been also voted. So I come with a charge up to 1 1/2 weeks of daily shaving. The device is loaded then just overnight in practical charging cradle.
When skin compatibility but it has geharpert beginning. So I had particularly in the larynx often redness and burning skin. This problem has, however, resolved after a few days by itself, and no longer occurs after this little acclimatization.

Thus, it was of me because shaving duration and skin tolerance nunmal a star deduction, but I would recommend this shaver certainly friends and acquaintances who have to shave often, thus rely on a long blade life and also have skin problems. Although I find the Wilkinson Hydro5 hand shaver still a good bit better, but this is due to the blades Availability not an option for me and a suitable alternative, I've finally found.

Processing: 5/5
Battery life: 5/5
Skin compatibility: first 4/5, 5/5 later (a matter of getting used to own)
Thoroughness: 4.5 / 5
Shaving time: 4/5 (Though that's a matter of your own hair thickness, growing thick and too fast for me)
Cleaning: 5/5
