I shave for years with a Feather stainless steel razor. Due to time constraints and to the skin during the cold season to conserve more I looked for an alternative. With daily shaving, the shaving of the Philips shaver in combination with shaving of wet shaving is equal. The shaver can also be easily cleaned without cleaning station. The operating sound of the razor is compared with the Braun Series 9 shear foil shaver very quietly and in my case clearly more thoroughly and much faster. The supplied trimmer, which can be exchanged for the rotary cutter head is very good - especially in direct comparison with the Braun Series. 9 Conclusion: Excellent.
