"i've resigned myself to having to do this regularly now but what with the grating of my feet that have turned into cloven hooves as i've got older shaving my face is just one more indignity that i will have to suffer in order to maintain the illusion to the outside world that my youthful good looks come naturally and effortlessly"

"i’m so in love with it i only have a very light fine amount of hair but it is always highlighted with foundation and i just don’t like that look but this just gets rid of it"

"the product arrived yesterday and i tried it this morning to my surprise i couldn't believe how well it works especially on stubble course chin and upper lip hair i have"

"i’m so in love with it i only have a very light fine amount of hair but it is always highlighted with foundation and i just don’t like that look but this just gets rid of it"

"really not convinced by this"

"it is sufficiently inexpensive to be of little concern should it ever be lost or fail"

"i tried the product immediately it worked as advertised"

"it is intended to either reduce or remove moustache or chin hairs that may sometimes appear as a certain age is approached or even peach fuzz if it offends"

"product stopped working after two and a half months of purchase"

"in addition once the blade starts to blunt it will cause spots and ingrown hairs"

"i've tried laser treatment which didn't work as i'm blonde electrolysis which meant leaving the hair untouched for a week between treatments and coming out with an angry rash all over my neck and didn't work to threading implements that tug burn and mark my skin hair removal creams that do the same that bloomin over priced and useless nono!"

"the hair on my upper lip had grown back thicker and darker after using this product my upper lip hair was previously soft and light coloured and i have since reverted back to using wax strips again"

"at first it was difficult for my skin because my skin is extremely sensitive i can get red at anything and constantly can get bumps when hair is removed"

"it's painless there's no tugging or pinching the skin and it clears that annoying peach fuzz rapidly"

"i’ve always used hair removal cream for my upper lip so was nervous to try this but it’s completely pain free and so quick to use"

"firstly let me tell you it takes a bit of time and patience if the hair is thick and coarse like mine was on my chin"

"plucking for hours days weeks losing half of my life along with my dignity and gaining a face full of bumps and pimples to finally conceding to the fact that i have to shave twice a day with a wet razor"

"i have removed the peach fuzz on my face not that it needed it and now it’s velvety smooth"

"i have very sensitive skin so i was a bit scared to see the effects but there was no redness or irritation"

"was good but just stopped working"

"i have purchased no end of facial hair devices some too painful and others that just didn't do the job"

"with regards to trimming even a tiny area i’m talking a top lip is tricky and not accurate"

"i admit i did gasp a little when i took the foil off to clean out the chamber which catches the hair double ended brush in box but it was satisfying knowing that fuzz was now in my bathroom bin and not adorning my face"

"i get tired of using cream to remove the little peach fuzz above my lip and chin"

"this is more like a mini shaver and whilst it is small and quiet it is quite difficult to use on face "

"but this shaver was a slight let down the only issue is the motor is louder than any i have had berfore maybe it is because it is of the cheaper range this time"

"some cons: 1 charging time is quite long compared to more expensive models"

"edit: new unit stopped has already stopped working after a few month battery doesn't charge anymore"

"i had one replaced under warranty bought a replacement myself once and am just discussing with amazon what to do about the third failure"

"i’m a convert it’s great for a quick tidy up but will never compete with a wet shave"

"i was extremely disappointed and have returned via amazon will not buy this make in future"

"absolutely waste of time i have been using cheapy disposal razors for a while this razors is worse than them i would advise you to look elsewhere fully charged this razor had huge difficulty trying to cut facial and body hairs kept pulling and missing loads surprising bad"

"i had one replaced under warranty bought a replacement myself once and am just discussing with amazon what to do about the third failure"

"there was no doubt about it i purchased another philips shaver but was very disappointed as this was not a patch on the original"

"only used it a few times but so far am very happy have owned 2 electric razors in the past and wasn’t particularly impressed but this has been better at giving a closer shave and i don’t feel it takes forever"

"after buying a fancy philips shaver series 5000 i was completely disappointed"

"don't buy flimsy awful product"

"the other negative is the trimmer not worth bothering with as quite useless"

"over the years i have had a few electric shavers and none has lasted more than two weeks as i couldn't put up with the poor results"

"gutted now back to painful razors : great no thanks to this shocking product"

"i had bought the more expensive new design phillips shaver & was not impressed as very flimsy so i bought this original design for a 1 4 of the price and it works great"

"absolutely waste of time i have been using cheapy disposal razors for a while this razors is worse than them i would advise you to look elsewhere fully charged this razor had huge difficulty trying to cut facial and body hairs kept pulling and missing loads surprising bad"

"poor version on what phillips product i have owned in the past"

"this is the worst philips shaver i have ever had and i have had a few"

"i bought this item for my 88 year old grandfather whom i visit when i can he used it twice and said it doesnt work properly i went to return it to be told it was one day late for that to be done i think this is a special circumstance and should be reconsidered as he has to rely on other people to help him "

"my old bit noisy remington is better"

"terrible price"

"only gripe is that it didn't come with bag pictured in manual!"

"an abysmal response to a customer of almost 70 years how long do they expect their products to last?"

"just recently i have been underwhelmed by a lot of products probably due to inflated reviews and sent lots of products back"

"very good on the flat but any curve resulted in sore razor burn to the point were i cannot use this without breaking out in a huge red rash on my neck"

"put them back in but fell out again"

"i have had a wet shave all my life and my beard grows tough and difficult"

"it takes ages to shave bc and te most of its job is irritating your skin"

"in recent years however the occasional nick and accompanying bleeding when wet shaving caused me to take a second look at electric razors as my "daily driver " and to ultimately purchase this rotary model from philips"

"tried one last year and failed within days it gave problems with the on off switch and would not charge due most likely to water having got inside it"

"new blades for previous razor were expensive so went for this one at c£40 as was as cheap as replacement blades"

"the popup trimmer is on a spring so is fairly useless as it flops around when using it the old one slid into place a cost cutting exercise no doubt the battery is nowhere near as good as my old one this is very odd given the advances in li on batteries in the last 15 odd years!"

"this phillips is not much more than the replacement foil for the other brand"

"the only problem i find with the rotary cutting system having previously been using a shaver with a linear action is that shaving the upper lip particularly under the nose area is a bit tricky which is not helped by the bulk of the plastic casing"

"for those who have negatively commented about irritation here are some general guidelines to minimise irritation: 1"

"unreliable product to be avoided and if it goes wrong you are on your own"

"and the shave itself isn't very good"

"*update* has lasted a few shaves in the shower and now died it is a dead shaver it is no more "

"not as close as a razer or the very expensive electric shavers but certainly a very good clean looking shave nonetheless"

"i was surprised at its disappointing performance considering the price i paid at the time which was £55"

"ignore the negative reviews"

"i had to stop using because of the constant damage to the skin"

"unreliable product to be avoided and if it goes wrong you are on your own"

"i've used philishave for very many years but finally the battery on my old one started to lose charge quickly"

"the box looked broken and when i open it the packages in the box have been opened"

"they have been reliable but on one occasion a previous shaver started having problems after using it for over a year"

"sturdy construction but delives a very average shave not recommended if you have a sensitive skin due to neck rash"

"the negatives of this shaver is unfortunately the most important feature which is the quality of the shave it seemed to only really deliver a good shave for the first few months before it felt very uncomfortable dragging across my skin and feeling like it was plucking hair as it goes"

"i did by a foil razor to did this but although it was a famous make was absolute rubbish so back to good old rotary for me"

"have had several similar phillips models all of which have had the on off switch fail out of warranty which seems to be a weak point"

"have seen same problem reported on net"

"very fiddly to get the shaving heads flush with the casing after they fall out which they do!"

"when it needs charge an amber led flashes but it is obvious anyway by the tired performance"

"provided you use light pressure and a gentle circular movement this will last at least 2 years it gives a close shave and has a lengthy shave of 50 minutes after a charge of just 60 minutes"

"i consider buying 3 shavers in 5 years all with the same design flaw to be unacceptable"

"the other negative is the trimmer not worth bothering with as quite useless"

"it's cut me a few times i'm pretty sure a standard razor has a lower chance of cutting my face if you have experience using it "

"i rarely write any comments but this i had to one of te worse experience ever had with the items bought from amazon"

"very patchy and after a few minutes i gave up skin feels dry and brissly"

"not impressed as it gave my fiance rashes"

"very patchy and after a few minutes i gave up skin feels dry and brissly"

"this shaver has all you need quick charge long shave time and you can exert a little presure to get really close"

"update: sadly amazon refunded the wrong amount and the system is carefully set up to make it impossible to contact them so that they can correct it "

"it does the job much quicker and painless than a razorblade from a stubble to clean shave but always misses hairs"

"every time i use i get a feel that my skin is taking too much force"

"philips support were keen to help but i do not wish to have a shaver repaired under guarantee which is likely to fail again soon i no longer trust philips shavers"

"the product looks okay but the wrong plug as it doesn't work here in the uk they should remember stuff like this coming into the uk must have the uk standard power plug not the two input plug"

"the box looked broken and when i open it the packages in the box have been opened"

"this in the other hand is comfortable light and fast if not quite as close"

"waste of money"

"my complaint has always the obscene cost of replacement blades"

"i would not recommend this product or i might have received a faulty shaver"

"the rotating heads inside the unit are very loose and feels like they will break if cleaned other than with a feather"

"the other negative is the trimmer not worth bothering with as quite useless"

"absolutely waste of time i have been using cheapy disposal razors for a while this razors is worse than them i would advise you to look elsewhere fully charged this razor had huge difficulty trying to cut facial and body hairs kept pulling and missing loads surprising bad"

"the last two alternating from packing up and starting too work again both died one after the other"

"misses hair growth frequently"

"edit: new unit stopped has already stopped working after a few month battery doesn't charge anymore"

"so all in all it's 'ok' but dissapointing for me even given the cost it doesnt really provide all the functions as well as it could"

"i used it dry for the first time and it was ok but nothing special and not as good as i was used to"

"the head mechanism is also less solidly engineered and feels a bit too plastic as if it might break easily"

"i cannot recommend this as it is not fit for purpose ruined the christmas gift!"

"i received my order but it appearded that the item had been returned previously"

"3 out of 5 have failed to charge after less than a year or just over a year "

"after 40 years of wet shaving with a blade and following 2 dry electric razors that just didn't shave well i thought i'd try a wet and dry razor i'm so impressed using it wet better than a blade as the cut is all directions and you can't really cut yourself"

"very poor product"

"had previous philips before but any caused such a skin irritation during the use"

"i had the braun one for around 10 years and when it finally gave up the ghost i decided to try a phillips one"

"very fiddly to get the shaving heads flush with the casing after they fall out which they do!"

"gives a really good up close dry shave and yet is good for sensitive skin not too harsh and doesn't cause soreness "

"i thought these circular ones where supposed to be worse on your skin!"

"where this shaver excels is shaving with gel foam not quite as good in the shower or bath as with the heat humidity it shaves at its best almost as good as a razor but not quite"

"you can see from the picture there are something suspicious things already in the razor"

"the machine is light weight and the motor although quiet felt lacking in guts"

"my view is taht they must have designed the cost down to balance failure rate with warranty period"

"blades are not very sharp and it can take forever to get difficult hairs"

"terrible product"

"this razor lasted just 11 months then died and apparently it doesn't even have a one year warranty"

"then i had a braun foil shaver which didn't do a good job and only lasted 4 years"

"battery life seems good charging is quick and the only shame is the lack of a decent battery indicator with only a single led light to indicate the status"

"never thought i would leave wet shaving but this leaves it in its dust"

"i am getting on in years and my stubble is quite coarse"

"had my first shave this morning in the shower and it took around 2 3 minutes and while it isn't as close as my de safety razor never expected it to be it took over 5x less time and effort which is more than enough payoff"

"i dismantled it and left it to dry out completely then cleaned the component parts as best i could and then reassembled it"

"one star deducted for the relatively high price"

"in particular i found problems in shaving the neck and jawline"

"leaves you with stubble still"

"my son tried to shave motor was extremely weak i've had better battery shaves did not shave"

"i had tried a cheap chinese philips copy but returned it instantly"

"this is a christmas present so only charged it and replaced into the box"

"the popup trimmer is on a spring so is fairly useless as it flops around when using it the old one slid into place a cost cutting exercise no doubt the battery is nowhere near as good as my old one this is very odd given the advances in li on batteries in the last 15 odd years!"

"at least it wasn't a hugely expensive model but i'm now thinking of changing brands for the next one"

"00 shavers but sad to say for me phillipd shavers today are not a patch on my last two which both lasted between 8 10 years"

"amazon were very good about it and arranged a return and i bought a remington pf7500 only £35 but you can't use it in the shower which gives me a smooth shave straight away"

"similar problems have been reported by other buyers but the manufacturer keeps producing and selling a totally unsuitable product for wet shaving"

"gives a really good up close dry shave and yet is good for sensitive skin not too harsh and doesn't cause soreness "

"would not recommend it"

"this thing really is useless"

"it does the job much quicker and painless than a razorblade from a stubble to clean shave but always misses hairs"

"the pouch is about 4 times bigger than it needs to be so not very good for travelling and just a bit rubbish"

"shaver is ok in my opinion over priced for this machine does not shave very close need to go over medium stubble 2 3 times the motor is too slow"

"as this was bought for my partner i can’t really give feedback on battery life he doesn’t live with me so not too sure how long said battery lasts "

"they definitely begun to be useless some time ago and even though i'd sharpened them they were becoming useless so i decided after all to buy a new razor"

"00 as the product was subject to a huge discount thus selling on amazon for £35"

"it isnt very powerful at all very slow and the battery life is short"

"after ten minutes i was left with a patchy shave"

"i found this shaver as good as it's predisessor which i had used for over six years until the battery wouldn't charge anymore"

"the box was not sealed and i believe an item is missing"

"i do miss the old one the batteries had a better life between each charge but the grip was falling to pieces so it had a very long run"

"very low revs not as good as i expected not as good as my very old one by no means"

"my son tried to shave motor was extremely weak i've had better battery shaves did not shave"

"works better for shaving face than head again requires alot of scrubbing over stubborn areas"

"however my first shave with this razor changed my mind when it gave my the closest shave that i have ever had apart from a professional barber shave with a straight razor with no irritation and it even made light work of the heavy growth on either side of my throat"

"cuts well but the beard trimmer is next to useless"

"this was great on my face but caused nasty razor burn on my neck in the same spots"

"i never expected the shave from this to be anywhere near as close as a wet shave but it was sufficiently patchy to make it effectively useless"

"as i had a flight to catch it spent the next week under a plant pot in the garden till the battery ran flat"

"definite minus"

"the product looks okay but the wrong plug as it doesn't work here in the uk they should remember stuff like this coming into the uk must have the uk standard power plug not the two input plug"

"do not buy this product it is by far the worst shaving product i've ever bought if i could return for refund i would i used on mild stubble fully charged and it left tufts of stubble untouched despite going over that area multiple times"

"he doesn’t clean it himself but if there was an issue with cleaning it i would have heard so i presume that is easy also"

"faced with this attitude from a world wide company i replaced the product with a braun guaranteed for 24 months"

"unlike my previous foil shaver you have to move the head in a rotating motion across your skin but it's not hard and the results are decent i haven't tried it for a wet shave but a few short minutes with this gives a sufficiently close shave that i'm good to go"

"after between 14 and 25 months the "change blade" light appears & the shaver will not operate"

"i am still a phillips fan but do not buy this model"

"do not buy this product it is by far the worst shaving product i've ever bought if i could return for refund i would i used on mild stubble fully charged and it left tufts of stubble untouched despite going over that area multiple times"

"you know what they say: buy cheap buy twice!"

"but i’m getting a bit lazy and wanted something to be quick"

"provided you use light pressure and a gentle circular movement this will last at least 2 years it gives a close shave and has a lengthy shave of 50 minutes after a charge of just 60 minutes"

"having lived with this for a few months but not having used it for at least three for reasons that will become obvious i thought i’d write an update"

"thinking that i may have just been unlucky i bought again one this year"

"this philips series 3000 was very disappointing the motor is about half as powerful as the remington and it just doesn't give a good shave"

"shame but not for me so returning for refund"

"i am not some hairy beast if i grow a beard it can be described as straggly at best"

"never thought i would leave wet shaving but this leaves it in its dust"

"despite that i've just decided to buy a new one i have no time to mess with the guarantee stuff hoping that it will last longer this time"

"not used it wet so can't comment on that"

"it was extremely comfortable to use on my head and gave more than acceptable results and my head is not nearly so sore as it has been recently i fact not sore at all"

"whilst it has a wet and dry capability i have only used this dry so can't comment about how it does wet although i imagine cleaning it afterwards will be a bind"

"there is no pouch or brush!"

"i have always bought philips and they only get better"

"after changing blades and following the reset instructions the shavers still do not operate"

"do not buy this product it is by far the worst shaving product i've ever bought if i could return for refund i would i used on mild stubble fully charged and it left tufts of stubble untouched despite going over that area multiple times"

"battery life could be better but can’t complain"

"it shaves well dry which the way i use it and it shaves close"

"it's noisy"

"my stubble was quite long"

"the trimmer is useless but the charge is surprisingly long"

"don't buy this razor"

"i hadn't used electric razors in years after i was bought a cheap one in the 90s that literally ripped up my face but decided to give it a go again"

"very quiet in operation at best "a good backup rezor"but can't reccomend"

"he hasn't used it wet yet but i can't imagine a problem with that"

"only minor gripe is that the charger although fitting into a bathroom razor socket or shaver 3pin adaptor does not have an elasticated coil cable so there is a long cable from charger to razor"

"essentially these aren't water tight then the electronic switch fails"

"purchased from amazon in may 2019 and failed to charge in july "

"the other was a different brand but it was really hard to shave because the cord was too short and it had a poor grip!"

"so all in all it's 'ok' but dissapointing for me even given the cost it doesnt really provide all the functions as well as it could"

"pros: works well on my face even though i have a fairly difficult beard and operates quietly"

"he hasn't used another razor since and has gone as far as throwing his old razors out"

"i have tried other makes one even had the fashionable 3 d head it pulled the hairs out rather than cutting"

"got it at a good price but wouldn’t buy one again"

"i found the heads caused a rash on my neck"

"new addition after last times disappointment this shave does the trick on the groups of stubble left by shaving wet shave has been less affective however more smoother on my face"

"i have had that shaver for 15+ years and it's pretty loud slow and not great in general"

"use this philips 3000 with gel in front of the sink and it shaves almost as close as a razor but still takes longer so you may as well use a razor"

"do not buy this product it is by far the worst shaving product i've ever bought if i could return for refund i would i used on mild stubble fully charged and it left tufts of stubble untouched despite going over that area multiple times"

"excellent shave not a single hair missed and at no point did i feel i would come close to cutting myself!"

"pros: it's nice to not worry about making a mess in the bathroom"

"i used it dry for the first time and it was ok but nothing special and not as good as i was used to"

"very poor from philips"

"this is the 2nd philip's shaver that had failed after a very short time"

"the cutters may have been improved to make them easier to wash under a tap and they seem to cut efficiently than the old ones which were probably worn so run them across you face gently as directed"

"not many places had this one"

"always leaves red marks after shaving"

"not buying a third one"

"then i saw a review from anazon verified reviewer that actually bought this shaver and owned above mentioned star wars series 5000 one and one from elite series 9000"

"purchased for a gift so i can’t comment on everything"

"hard to fault"

"i received it today having not shaved for four days"

"bought this for my nan to give to grandad but died within a month"

"the only thing i’m worried about is the blades replacement not clear at all which to buy and dint look easy to replace and that’s the trouble with these shavers no one knows the best way to buy as models are often changing depending on how popular they are and replacement blades become"

"absolutely waste of time i have been using cheapy disposal razors for a while this razors is worse than them i would advise you to look elsewhere fully charged this razor had huge difficulty trying to cut facial and body hairs kept pulling and missing loads surprising bad"

"surely their guarantee is longer than 11 months?"

"not sure why but just stopped working from one day to another:"

"the only problem i find with the rotary cutting system having previously been using a shaver with a linear action is that shaving the upper lip particularly under the nose area is a bit tricky which is not helped by the bulk of the plastic casing"

"i should never have stopped"

"new addition after last times disappointment this shave does the trick on the groups of stubble left by shaving wet shave has been less affective however more smoother on my face"

"i bought this product and used it for 3 times before i got an incessant orange flashing light that asked me for a blades replacement"

"and is going back for repair"

"the other was a different brand but it was really hard to shave because the cord was too short and it had a poor grip!"
