The unit is supplied with an electrical transformer, a single Charging Stand (which can be used in case of a long journey), a - big - Basic cleaning and recharging, a carrying case, a cleaning brush, a head "mower" interchangeably. There is also a manual, or rather abstruse assembly drawings: many sensible pictograms explain the operation of the thing in its smallest details. Lovers of puzzles, you'll be happy because no manual in full is provided!
It is impossible to directly use this razor on outlet. Is protection for the unwary who attempt to shave in the shower with the trendy razor? Possible ... but not necessarily practical. While charging is very rapid and excellent battery life (a few minutes of charge sufficient to ensure full shaving), except that no battery is eternal, and we are so glad to be able to use his electric razor mains.
A big advantage of this shaver is waterproof. I confess that I feel no need to shave in the shower, or even with moist skin, I have long since become used to shave before washing, thoroughly dry the skin, which is recommended for most electric shavers. It is possible that some people with very sensitive skin will find an advantage; but it can also exacerbate the situation in others. Anyway, since it is waterproof, quick rinse the razor head will space easily complete the cleaning station.
Talking of shaving itself: it is clean, clear and fast. I did not encounter any particular difficulties in this regard, the performances are with go. Good point, the Philips system is significantly quieter than other electric shaving systems.
The shaver comes with a "lawnmower" accessory settling instead of shaving head (it will therefore mismatching of every time - not just the practice when you just need a touch for the legs!) Unfortunately I have not been convinced by the performance of this tool, incomparably worse than a power mower, and even behind the integrated clipper my previous razor.
The cleaning station (which also charges the shaver at the same time) has a very successful design. It works using a small bin to be filled with a cleaning solution (with the lovely smell) and a motorized system that soaked razor head to the bottom of the container placed in the base station . It is playful, ultra-simple, and very effective in cleaning the razor, with the sensation of "as new" after the operation, difficult to obtain after manual cleaning.
In return, the system overhead (it will regularly buy Philips cleaning liquid) is not negligible. However can be spaced as much as one wishes cleanings like this or do not use this feature. The cost of replacing the head RQ11 is high, but is recommended that every 24 months.
