Although this unit may not be suitable for multi-use trimming, its users don’t really care as it comes at a very budget-friendly price, making it an appealing option to individuals shopping on a budget. The rotary shaver gets its name from the 3 rotary heads that move and tilt in 4 different directions providing you with an easier and faster way of shaving. It also features 27 self-sharpening blades that guarantee consistency. “A budget-friendly electric Remington Shaver facial shaver that is super-easy to use and highly efficient owing to amazing features like ComfortCut blades, pop-up trimmer, and both corded and cordless options.” We tried Philips Norelco’s lower-end rotary models but determined that the brand’s 9000 series performed better, and it was so closely priced that it was a better buy for most people. In our experience, the 4000-series razor didn’t shave closely enough to be worth their bargain prices.
I’m a very handy person, but when I replaced the battery on my G7 ThinQ, it was never the same. The glue strip holding the back glass on was simply too fiddly, too thin and with too many curves, and was nigh impossible for human hands to apply properly. It had to live in a case from then on just to hold the back on. I’m sure somebody could have done it better, but it wouldn’t be a huge number. Caesium and fluorine would make the best possible battery, but it’d combust instantly.
This shaver gives the user an option for a wet or dry shave with the AquaTec technology where you can choose a dry shave or a wet one with the use of gel or foam. Its blades are designed to follow the contour and curves of your face for a more precise and efficient shave that cuts closer to the skin. It takes about two weeks for your skin to get used to using an electric razor, but once I passed through that window, I was amazed that my razor bumps decreased significantly and never really came back. Experts might say that’s because electric razors don’t cut as close as a traditional razor/shave cream combo, but in practice I didn’t notice any difference between the closeness of my shave. In fact, I found that without shaving cream, I could see spots I missed and manage the details of my shave much better.
Pressing the ON button while the shaver is charging will result in the battery indicator flashing and two quick beeps will sound. Philips claims the Lithium-ion battery of the 9300 and 9700 shavers offers 50 minutes of shaving after a 1 hour charge. I found this claim to be fairly accurate, getting between minutes of use before needing to recharge. As you glide the shaver across the surface of your skin, hairs will stick up through the slots in the track and are cut by the spinning blade behind. The Philips 9000 Series features what is known as a rotary shaver head, unlike the foil head offered by Braun Series 9 and Panasonic Arc 5. Out of all the electric shavers we tested, the Philips Norelco 9300 Shaver came in the biggest box.
It’s just an innovation which brings an entire industry forward, not just a single company. That’s generally something companies don’t like so much for obvious reasons. Use a razor brush or a small soft toothbrush to eliminate roaming hairs.
As long as the skin isn’t very sensitive, most users should be fine using it (it’s even better with a pre-shave lotion, of course). Once opened, shake it gently to remove the bulk of hair clippings and then rinse the hair chamber and shaving unit with warm tap water. If most of your hair tends to grow in different directions, it may be worth investing in a more advanced Philips Norelco Shaver shaver that can get the job done with less effort. The Philips Norelco 2300 is quite a capable machine if you shave less often or if the hairs stay flat on the skin. However, for users with light to medium facial hair, the results should be good enough. On the chin and below the nose where my facial hair grows particularly thick, things could have been better though.
Featuring all the bells and whistles to tackle long hair, this foil shaver was made for guys who are sick of having to trim your beard with clippers before even taking out your razor. This specialized razor comes equipped with an “intercept shaving technology” that allows for a smooth shave without having to pre-trim. The best electric razors on the market will run you around $100 — but you can easily snag one of the tried-and-true older models for about half that. A budget of about $70 will be more than enough to ensure the razor you select is of high quality and features a durable design. Some electric shavers come with an array of helpful accessories, such as a cleaning kit, a carrying case and a sideburn trimmer. Though electric razors make some noise while they’re being operated, they aren’t typically loud enough to wake up someone sleeping nearby while you shave.
Best of all, you can use the shaver anywhere however you like. You can have a wet gel or foam shave in the shower or do a quick, convenient dry shave. For starters, the shaver features the most advanced blades and a unique design that delivers the closest shave without compromising skin comfort.
