Philips Norelco Shaver Series 9000 Prestige, Wet and Dry Electric Shaver, System, SenseIQ Technology, Precision Trimmer, Nose Trimmer, Qi Charging Pad, Cleaning Pod, Adriatic Blue, SP9886/89

This is hands down, without a doubt, the BEST shaver I have ever used! After reading the reviews about how close and smooth a shave this thing offers, I will admit I was skeptical at first, but also super excited to try it out! It was estimated to be delivered the very next day, and I impatiently waited for it, like a little kid waiting for their new toy. When it finally arrived, I happily tore open the box and set everything up.When I used it for the first time ever, I was immediately impressed with how easily it would glide over my skin, and how comfortable and painless it was to use, even on the highest setting! Speaking of which, there are three comfort settings; Comfort, Dynamic, and Efficiency. Comfort is supposed to be best for sensitive skin, while Efficiency has the most power and the quickest, smoothest shave. However, I have sensitive skin myself, and the Efficiency setting is no issue for me!The closeness of the shave from this electric shaver surprised me a great deal. What they are saying in the reviews is true! Philips Norelco’s 0.00mm closeness claim definitely checks out! I was able to achieve BBS smooth skin with just my FIRST SHAVE, having NEVER used a rotary shaver before! This thing really does shave as close as (maybe even closer than) a manual razor! The power of the motor is unbelievable for how quiet it is. It’s one of the quietest electric shavers I’ve ever used, yet when you turn it on, you can literally feel the torque in your hand as it starts up.The shaver is designed for use on your face and neck, yet I had no issues with shaving other parts of my body. I have used this thing on my arms and my legs, and was able to achieve the same level of BBS smoothness, with NO irritation, NO discomfort, and NO redness! You do need to be a bit patient if you want a SUPER smooth shave, but it’s still much faster than shaving with a razor! So I can confidently say this thing is safe to use on your body, too! I’m not sure if I’d be comfortable with using it on more… intimate areas, though.There are a few different accessories available for this razor, and I must say I recommend getting the bundle that comes with all of them (I purchased the Space Grade shaver, which has a nice blue color). The Qi charging pad works as you would expect, and the shaver sits nicely on it, the top part resting in a small dock. The nose and precision trimmer attachments are sufficient. Not great, but not bad either. You are required to remove the shaver head in order to use the attachments. The Quick Clean Pod functions as the name would suggest; you place the head of the shaver in it and it thoroughly cleans it in about a minute. The cleaner has a fresh scent and is also lubricated, so your next shave always feels smooth and fresh. The travel case is nice and bulky, easily fitting the shaver along with some accessories.Overall, I would say that I very highly recommend this shaver. You will not be disappointed at all with how smooth and comfortable a shave it offers. It’s also pretty lightweight and smaller than you might think. It’s quite maneuverable! The accessories and cleaning pod are nice to have and I would definitely recommend them as well. The shaver is also IPX7 waterproof, so you can use it in the shower, or wet shave with it if you’d like. I personally prefer to shave dry, as it doesn’t require any shaving cream or anything, is much less messy and time consuming, and still results in a VERY close shave. But of course, to each their own! Find out what works for you, and enjoy BBS smooth skin with every shave!

The Philips Norelco Series 9000 Prestige is hands down the best electric shaver I’ve tried. It gives an incredibly close and comfortable shave—easily the closest I’ve gotten from an electric razor, and noticeably better than other models I’ve used in the past. It feels premium in the hand, runs smoothly, and handles both short stubble and longer hair effortlessly.Yes, it’s more expensive than other options, but it’s absolutely worth the extra money for the quality and performance you get. I’ve been genuinely impressed every time I use it. Highly recommend if you’re looking to upgrade your grooming routine.

I've used Braun and Panasonic foil razors since I started shaving as a teen. They'd work well on my face but were terrible on my neck. I'd always have to do a final touch up with a manual razor. Also, I had issues with ingrown hairs and acne after shaving with foil and manual razors. Lately, I was getting ingrown hairs after every shave so I got fed up and decided to try Norelco. I've used it for a month and so far it's been a game changer. It gives a really close shave for the entire face and neck without the irritation. Just make sure you go slowly and in circular motions. You don't need to apply too much pressure. But I've found that I need to go over the same spot a few times before it catches all the hairs in that area. The only issue I have now is touching up near the side burns but it does come with an attachment for that. I prefer to shave while showering so I mostly use it as a wet shaver. It does a great job, but it's also decent at dry shaving. I love how quiet the razor is, but I'm sure the newer foil razors have improved on that too. You don't need the cleaning attachment unless you want your razor to smell like cologne. It's super easy to clean. Just pop the razor head off and run it under water for a few seconds. Battery life is fantastic. I shave 5-7 days a week and my battery is still at 23% after one month. You can't use the razor while charging. Personally, I don't think that's a big deal since you get so many shaves on a single charge. The travel pack is a bit disappointing. It's bigger than it needs to be and it doesn't come with a plastic cover for the razor head. So is it worth the price? I'd say yes with an asterisk, since I haven't tried any of the cheaper Norelcos. Maybe they work just as well. Wouldn't it be nice if you could test drive a few models before buying? Anyway, all I can confirm is that I'm never going back to foil razors. Many people swear by foil razors but if you're having issues with them, give Norelco a try.
