Philips is again top!

Amazing what can be changed technologically in a few years. In 2002, I bought a Philips Cool Skin shaver. My first electric shaver at all, I preferred wet shaving. The well everything went quite well, but the follow-up costs by the Nivea cartridges were annoying and in 2007 then also the reason for the change to Braun Series 7 (9595). Brown suggested in an elaborate advertising campaign effective follow-up costs and a close shave, with the so-called Pulsonic technology. Sounded good, was not bad either, but hindsight is no comparison to the new Philips RQ1290.

The model RQ1290 Philips plays in a different league. First of all, the material quality and feel. As are worlds between Philips and Braun. So I broke the Brown, with two shaving heads mechanics apart! The small Festhaltemechnismus for beard trimmer broke away and could not be reattached. The Rasierkörper the Series 7 shaver was corroded by the cleaning fluid (alcohol-based) and looked after only four years of use unhygienic.

By contrast, the Philips is a true design-Star. Here's design still function because of the razor is just great in the hand and the beard trimmer can be in contrast to the Brown actually used. One might think Colani designed the part.

In addition, the chrome frame of the instrument really made of metal and not from plastic steamed. This is the razor like a small "lump" in his hand and exudes solidity and value from. The shaving head is an ingenious construction and a very good development of my old Philips Cool Skin of 2002. The shaving action is great and comes quite close to a wet shave ran. Compared to the Philips Braun runs almost noiselessly. No joke, is like comparing Trabant against 8-cylinder engine from Audi. At first I thought the shaver is not on, as quietly hums the part.

Let. To the disadvantages of Philips RQ1290X The part is expensive. Okay, who buys in America Bay can get a bargain. Short a two-euro adapter (or HQ8505, for 15, - Euro) to buy and already works part also in Europe. Not Euro inch - I regret the 153, - plus 25 dollars. For people who have money about: buy recommendation!
