Phillips artic shaver

The charger wire was hard not rubbery so it has now cracked all over the wire all brittle, need to get a new charger cable, other wise the machine has worked well over 6 years

Pros

Very reliable still working after a long time, better than the blade as the machine does not cut uoi

Cons

The cleaning of the head leaves the London water marks on the blade casing

Better than wet!

I have tried for years to get a shave as close as a wet shave from an electric/battery device. Until I bought this one I never thought it to be possible, now I know better. This shaver is quiet, comfortable to use and achieves excellent results in wet or dry modes. I prefer dry mode, it's more convenient. This truly is the best shaver I have ever owned. Well done Philips !
