Philips Shaver, 26 Oct. 2012

I bought this Shaver as it was on offer after years of using blades. I'd become fed up with the cost of replacing them.As a first time user I really like this Shaver. It works best in the shower, and when I go to the gym I find it fantastic. Early days but the battery seems pretty good as well.Would definately recommend it if you are looking to replace you shaver or try and electric one.

Excellent shaver if you like to wet shave., 10 Sept. 2012

I bought this form Amazon for £61.50 (It seems to have gone up in price since then).

For years I avoided rotary-head shavers because logic would seem to dictate that a foil shaver must give a closer shave.

A couple of years ago, I needed a new shaver and bought a Philips SensoTouch (it being the only wet and dry model that they had in the shop). I was amazed to find that it gave me a much closer shave, much more quickly than any of the foil shavers I'd used in the past (Panasonic, Hitachi, and Braun - the last of which cost nearly as much as a secondhand car).

Unfortunately the SensoTouch suffered from appalling build quality, and a ridiculous design which mean that the blade covers had a habit of unlatching while you were shaving which could result in damage, not only to the heads, but also to your face! Eventually, I binned it and swore never to buy another Philips product.

I never managed to find any other brand that could give such a good...

Razor sharp, 20 Oct. 2012

I have always been a Philishave person, so when my wife dropped my razor and smashed the head I did not hesitate to buy another.The AT809/17 was chosen because of its wet and dry capability and it is cordless. This shaver is light, easy to clean, quick to recharge and provides me with an excellent shave with minimal effort. I can not tell you how long it will run on one charge because I have not had the need to recharge it yet. I purchased this about 16 days ago, used it every day and it is still going.
