First Impression

The Philips StyleShaver makes its high-quality workmanship very robust. By coloring its design seems more noble to futuristic. This visual impression is further enhanced by the dual role of shavers, trimmers, as the trimmer at the bottom, the razor is positioned at the upper end of the device.

Especially stylish elements are the curved orange stripes and the comb attachment and the attachment protection for the razor of transparent orange plastic.
The Philips StyleShaver is packaged within the Umverpackungskartons in a new type of blister pack. At least I would describe it as. I do not like blister packs actually. But this variant is pre-cut at the sides, so you have to cut just above the outer packaging. Then you can see the plastic back panel folded away downwards and remove the device.

Features

The biggest feature of the Philips StyleShaver is the combination of beard trimmer and shaver in one device. The trimmer (32 mm) is made of metal and has the comb 12 customizable length settings. Philips calls this the "Bart Schei Santander with stubble function". Through the "Zoom-Wheel" you can set the desired beard length and has thus always a well-kept beard in uniform length.
If you remove the comb attachment, you can see that the Philips StyleShaver two trimmers from metal, has a wider 32 mm and a narrower 15mm for precise detail. The rounded tips ensure that there is less "twinge" or the skin when trimming not "hurt" is.

The shaver in turn has two shaving foils that glide over the skin and remove stubble. The center trimmer away even longer hair. By "Aquatic Wet & Dry" technology, you can use when shaving with the Philips Style Have additionally shaving gel or foam to minimize skin irritation after shaving.

Accumulator

Charging the device is incredibly simple. It comes with a collapsible stand is (saving space when you're traveling). In this pedestal you put the charger cable and connect it to the electrical outlet. There are two small contacts in it. Philips StyleShaver Man hanging in quasi in this stand. Also has two contacts on the device. About this, it is then charged.

The Philips StyleShaver has a battery charge indicator that blinks when it needs to be charged (then still a remaining useful life of approximately 10 minutes). When he is fully charged, the indicator lights continuously.
Charging a completely discharged rechargeable battery takes about 4 hours. With a full battery you can use the device for about 75 minutes.

Field Test

Operating the Philips StyleShaver is simple and actually almost self-explanatory. This is also quite good, as the manual is rather suboptimal. This is only a small folder with images that illustrate the application.
Its ergonomic shape and rubberized sides, he is particularly well and securely in your hand.

If you want to trim his beard several days on the length of a three-day beard, one simply uses the trimmer on the comb attachment. About the so-called "push-Wheel" then adjusted by turning the desired length. Here 12 different length settings from 0.5 mm to 10 mm are possible, which are also printed on the zoom wheel. By turning to the desired length of the comb attachment is from the device to the correct position "pushed out" or pulled in. So you can from the slight stubble to a three-day beard different styles "create" and always has a well-kept beard.
The result of the trimmer is truly outstanding. It cuts very precisely and without that you feel, the hairs would rather run away than cut. This is probably due to among other things, the rounded tips. After having "found" the perfect one for Bart length, beard trimming is a breeze.

The shaver can use through the "Aquatec Wet & Dry" technology as a wet razor, by - as described above - in addition uses shaving gel or foam. Of course, he also works as a normal dry shaver. Again, the result is very good. He shaved without the twinge, skin irritations are minimized and the skin feels very smooth after use to.
The cleaning of the Philips StyleShaver is also very easy. First, one can free him with a cleaning brush of his beard cut. However, since he is also waterproof, you can clean it with running water and simple.

It is recommended by Philips, the shaving foil exchange once a year, at any time to have a perfect shave.

Conclusion

The Philips StyleShaver convinced me fully, even more so, I absolutely loved it.
He has a very pleasing, stylish design and delivers a top performance. The battery lasts really long. I now of course not every time stopped and added to the battery level indicator blinking, so now I can not confirm that the battery actually holds 75 minutes time.

The fold-out stand is very space-saving, as the trimmer is so vertically on a shelf or cabinet when not in use. What honestly we lack in delivery, is a travel case or bag in which you can transport the Philips StyleShaver and pedestal.
Those who value a well-kept beard and a precise trimming respectively a very good shave, which we can use the Philips StyleShaver highly recommended. The only (minimum) criticisms would be the poor and the lack of instructions Reiseetui. In all other performance characteristics and features, the device was able to convince fully.
