Philips AT890 / 26 Wet & Dry shaver Aqua Touch (precision trimmer) (Health and Beauty)

Customer Review

I've shaved me in the last few years with a relatively expensive Philips device. Before that I had always used Braun razors. The rotary shear system has convinced me long ago. It is quieter and faster than the linear system à la Braun. Also the device to vibrate when operating in your hand. Unfortunately, my Philips shaver has recently gone through carelessness to break. Then I had the opportunity, both a Philips, as well as to test a Remington razor, just right.

So I compare this with the Philips Remington R5150 Titanium-X rotary shaver that works on the same principle.

Handling
Both units are very light and are very well in hand. The shape of the device is almost identical. Also in the operation there are no differences. Since Philips is expressly designed for use in the shower, it can only be used in battery mode. The Remington also works with power cord. Clean it can be like the Philips with running water. Both units are a bit louder than my old Philips, but quite bearable.
This point I regard as a draw.

Equipment
The Remington has per single shaving head two rotors, the Philips only one. For the blades of the Philips are stored elaborate. First, they are individually sprung and secondly, they adapt to the facial contour by can be tilted towards the center. The latter is also the case with Remington. Suspended but the blades are not. For the entire shaving head is movable to a slight extent. Unfortunately, this also causes the device while shaving klackert continually.
The Philips battery lasts an hour of the Remington only half. Assuming that an average shave takes 3 minutes so the Remington holds by only 10 days. Something a little, I think. But the Chargers are small and in every luggage certainly still a place. However, the Remington scores at the charge level. 5 LEDs indicate here the battery remaining capacity in percent. At Philips, a single LED indicates when the battery is low.
The Philips is suitable for wet shaving. A can of shaving cream from Nivea is the package, as a simple bag, a cap on the shaving head and a cleaning brush. In the packaging of Remington is located next to the base unit, only the (admittedly quite detailed) instructions.
Overall, the Philips looks much valent and processed more complicated.
Here the Philips slightly forward. At Philips I miss a more detailed battery gauge, which should have been there at the additional price of Philips. For the battery lasts longer.

Shaving
The shave is both devices almost equally well. But I do not feel shaving in both cases very thoroughly, while skin irritant. Generally I find that shaving with the rotation system is done more quickly than was the case with my old Braun shavers. Incidentally, I have very strong beard growth with relatively thick stubble.
If the skin during shaving slightly damp (for example, because you sweat), the Philips glides a little better through the skin.
Here, too, a very slight advantage for the Philips, not least because bother me while shaving with Remington the clacking described above.

Who it is only on a thorough, gentle shave for very little money, I recommend the Remington. But my favorite is the slightly more expensive Philips: He is the higher quality device holds a single battery charge longer and brings practical accessories with.
