Rated 5 out of 5 by from Two razors in one I purchased this razor specifically after watching the Philips video on wet and dry shaving. i have been using it now for over two weeks as a wet razor and had the best painless results i have ever had, my skin is so smooth. Easy to use, wet to dry.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Will NOT reset after head replacement!!! This has got to be the WORST shaver I've ever owned!! I have always had Philips shavers, but this one is totally rubbish!! My wife bought it for me last year. The orange "head replacement" warning light came on (flashing), then the shaver stops. I have tried to fool it into thinking I've replaced the heads, and held the power button for 5 seconds to reset the "replace heads timer". This does not work. I am NOT prepared to purchase new heads for this shaver only to find that the shaver cannot be reset after head replacement!! The shaver now won't even turn on at all......and if it does turn on (eventually/sometimes) then the amber light flashes and the shaver turns off. What a pile of JUNK!!! It's just over 12 months old and it's going in the BIN!!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from This is my second one Great shaver for the price. This is my second one ( last one battery went dead and non-rechargeable after three years)!! Despite this I regard it as very good value with a good performance AND it is a Philips- So what is not to like!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from SH50 new blades are brilliant These are much better than the original HQ8 blades which came with my shaver. I now use hardly any pressure on my face and get a closer shave. Has rejuvenated my shaver.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Excellent performance, disappointing design I have been a user of Philips 3-head shavers for many years. I find this model frustrating because: 1) the plastic head-cover looks symmetrical but has to be put on facing in a particular direction (though it's not obvious by eye which way is correct). It also flicks off too easily (when you don't intend to). 2) the catch for the pop-up trimmer is opposite to what I expect (presumably based on years of flicking it up (on earlier models) rather than down). When flicking the catch up, it is all too easy to open the head and get shavings all over you. 3) the on/off switch is right where your thumb sits, so I find I keep switching it off unintentionally during shaving. However it gives a good clean shave and is quiet.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A good product for a reasonable price. It’s not an expensive shaver but it’s effective and easy to use. If it’s as durable as previous Phillips shavers I’ve owned I would say that it represents good value.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from good reliable shaving result This is my second one this product lasts years and gives a good comfortable shave, key is to change blades at least once a year.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smooth Comfortable grip, very quiet compared to my old shaver from another manufacturer. Nice clean shave, smooth in operation and very competitively priced. Electric shavers will probably never be able to give as close a shave as a traditional blade, but this is probably as good as I am likely to get at this price point. Recharges in a reasonable amount of time. Only been using it for a month so time will tell how durable it proves to be, but the Philips I owned before my previous shaver lasted me a dozen years, whereas the previous one (admittedly a cheaper model) from another company only lasted two, so I have high hopes for this. On my experience of the shaver so far, I would definitely recommend this model.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent electric shaver I'm new to electric shavers and this is the first one i have owned. Previously i was staunch wet shave, I thought this was the best and only way to get a good close shave and no other method would, or could, equal it. I had my phillips shaver as a christmas present, and iwas pretty pleased when i opened it. I gave it a full charge overnight and tried it properly the following morning....WOW! I never expected it to shave so close and feel so comfortable and over the next few days my technique improved and it became easier and quicker to shave....and no more red tender spots i had from a razor ! I am a convert to electric shavers and i am over the moon with this model, its quick comfortable convienient and gives a great shave !

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Shockingly Poor I do not generally write reviews, but bought this product and was so shocked by how poor it was that I had to say something. I purchased the AT887 at christmas and despite the cost will have to buy a replacement as this the device is virtually unusable. The blades rarely succeed in cutting through hair with the result that a shave take about an hour and is extremely painful. It is impossible to comment on the quality of the final shave as it leaves the face so inflamed that one cannot really shave to completion. I am appalled that such a branded company would make such a defective product. If one bought a budget product from an unknown company, one might expect it, but this is premium product with a price tag to match.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful to handle, great shave, easy to charge for >two weeks,pack & just go! So now I am looking at accessories to keep my shaver clean.... I bought my first Philips battery electric shaver to be able to shave when camping where there was neither power nor generally hot-water for shaving. It was a single shaving head, single 1.5v battery in a neat box. It was the latest thing in convenience. That was over sixty years ago Inevitably I moved to mains electric two-head shaver and then to the three head model. all served me well through many decades - until the marvel of wet & dry shaving that lets me enjoy the ultimate comfort that only a razor-blade can give. Last razor has lasted > two decades (& is now a spare!). The new one is just that bit better, thank you & I will always recommend Philips.
