Absolutely Brilliant – The Best Electric Shaver I’

I have to say, this shaver has genuinely impressed me. It’s nice and compact, making it ideal for travelling, and one feature I particularly love is the travel lock. You can lock the power button, so you don’t have to worry about it accidentally switching itself on if something presses against it in your travel bag. A small feature, but a really useful one! I already own a Philips OneBlade and the Philips MG3720/33 Series 3000 7-in-1 Multi Grooming Kit, but by far, this is the best electric shaver I’ve used. The closeness of the shave is what really surprised me. It gets remarkably close to a traditional wet shave with a razor, and I was genuinely shocked at just how good the results were. I wasn’t expecting it to shave this closely! It’s also incredibly quick and easy to use. Another great feature is that the hair collects inside the cap, meaning I can shave pretty much anywhere without worrying about making a mess. It’s so convenient. As well as shaving my face, I’ve also used it on my head, and once again, the results have been excellent. It gives me a really close shave, and I’m extremely impressed with how well it performs for both. The battery life is really good too. I can comfortably get around three full shaves out of it when shaving both my face and head, which is great. Overall, I think this product is absolutely brilliant. Whether you’re looking to upgrade or replace your current electric shaver, or you’re considering making the switch from a traditional wet razor to electric shaving, I’d highly recommend giving this one a try. It’s compact, convenient, easy to use and delivers a seriously close shave. I honestly couldn’t be happier with it!

Compact and Practical

My husband has been using this shaver and he’s really pleased with it. He likes that it’s compact and easy to hold, but still gives a really good shave and the battery life is great. He said it feels comfortable on the skin and does a good job without being too bulky.The size is probably his favourite thing, especially for travelling. It comes with a cover/travel case and the magnetic closure is a nice little touch, which keeps everything together and feels secure in the bag. He’s also found it easy to clean and likes that it can be used wet or dry. Overall, he’s been really happy with it and said it’s a great little shaver for everyday use. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something compact, quick to charge but still does the job well.

Pros

Strong, good battery life, wet and dry use, close shave, travel case and quick charging.

Cons

Nothing

Amazing compact shaver

Amazing shaver. I have used this shaver for a few weeks now and I must say I’m impressed. It can be used on both wet or dry skin as effective. The battery last for at least 30 mins witch is more than enough. The size is ideal to take on when travelling. I’m very happy with my new shaver and I highly recommend this.
