It all depends on your beard

Long accustomed to Braun electric shavers, which I use for 25 years, for me to spend Philips is a real challenge. After testing of Philips shavers owned more entries range from the Dutch brand that really have not met me, this, more evolved, has significantly higher performance characteristics.
First and foremost, the system of concentrated three blades: it shaves well and closely, the difference is minimal compared to Braun (difference but still, for Braun).
Then, much quieter than my very noisy Braun Pulsonic, it is nice to use, with a wider surface shaving.
He washes and cleans up easily: a click, a gate lifts up and can be washed with water under running tap.
Finally, it loads very quickly, and this burden is great. Several shaves without problems. If you miss a few minutes of charge sufficient to ensure a complete shave.

Nevertheless, these razor some drawbacks which obviously depend on the nature of your beard and your shaving frequency and peculiarities of your face:

- Its large head, if she shaves a large area at once, making it difficult to access corners. Near the nose, for example. Or a dimple. There is a long time, not easy, manageable and much less accurate than Braun.
- This razor is not convenient for those who shave spaced, so when the hair growth is already well advanced. We must board several times and razor trouble catching long hairs. So use the mower.
- But the mower is a weak point of this razor. First, being on the opposite side, it requires the user to rotate his razor hand. Really inconvenient. And then you have to find the hand and the angle of shot, otherwise it falls back too easily at the slightest resistance. Finally, it is only moderately effective.

In short, to achieve the same result that my Braun Pulsonic, so to me it takes a lot more time when my beard is a little long. This makes the fact more irritating.

This shaver is not any land as can the Braun middle and high end. This Philips will be perfect - and even more responsive and comfortable as Braun - for smooth faces, without problems, for easy beards and shaved daily. If you happen to stay several days without shaving, if you have a face with difficult places to reach, or a tough beard (ingrown hairs, density, etc ...), this razor is really not for you.
