The accompanying instructions I consider to be inaccurate. While each function has been illustrated, but the use of the cleaning station to thereby difficult to understand. Unfortunately, even on the support pages of Philips is no better guide for download available.
Both the stand, as well as the cleaning station can be used to charge the shaver batteries. The stand is practically used as a portable charger when traveling, because entrainment of the cleaning station is not appropriate due to the size. Battery charging time is not more than one hour. A common good value. Is beautiful with this is that on the razor on the front of the charge status is indicated by a number of LEDs. It is therefore always be seen when the battery is low and should be charged when, and how much capacity is still available.
The shaving head itself is easy, but not too much to move in all directions and the rotary cutter heads can be adjusted individually to the separate skin conditions. Both in connection gives a good guide through the skin. Unfortunately, the scissor system has only the dual-precision execution. As with the AT890 a dry shave is slightly unpleasant, as with high-order shear systems. But obviously fits the shaving head RQ12 / 50 GYROFLEX on this shaver. That would be desirable, after two years as an exchange.
The wet shaving is excellent. The razor fits comfortably in your hand and glides easily over the surface to be shaved face and the result is perfect (Philips typical flat!). As well as it is with the dry shaving just do not get added. The effect of the accompanying Nivea shaving cream I feel as pleasant and smell as fresh and not pushy.
The shaving head can be very good rinse under warm running water. In any case, better than the systems with the old large shaving head. An intensive cleaning is really easy with the cleaning station including cleaning fluid. The shaver is thereby suspended overhead in the station, press the start button and the rest is fully automatic load incl. Battery. Although the duration of approx. after a clean razor available two hours quite high, but without the necessary user interaction ;-).
The RQ1195 has no built-hair trimmer. For this purpose, a separate own trimmer head is attached. To use the shaving head to be replaced with the trimming attachment. I think here are the ghosts. Cutting with the attachment works well, since it can be done very accurately. I personally feel the handling better than with an integrated trimmer.
Summary:
A razor in typical Philips usual good Rasierqualität. For the attached instructions not successful and the Dual Precision shaving head (for dry shaving) I draw from an evaluation point.
