Many shavers have the trimmer attached to the body that releases for use which can be very useful, requiring no removal of the blade head. However, if you do not require a trimmer then you’ll be pleased it’s not attached. Bottom Line – A surprisingly close shave that performs well daily or every two-three days.
I’d say that it’s slightly more comfortable than a Series 3 ProSkin, while the closeness is pretty much the same. At the moment of writing this review, the cassette is not yet available for purchase. You should switch the shaver on for a few seconds after that to help distribute the oil evenly across the cutters. If you clean the razor with soap after every shave, then you should also lubricate it after every shave. Shake off the excess water and optionally pat the parts dry with a clean cloth.
Our face contour makes it difficult for you to get even shaving and avoid unshaved hard-reach-area such as below the neck and jawline. A flexible head will become handy to make sure that you can shave evenly and adequately without pulling and skin irritation even at hard-reach-area. The blades are also designed with a spring-loaded mechanism which helps to stay on the skin at all times while shaving. Spring-loaded blades will follow your face contours and shave evenly. Each cleaning program consists of several cycles, where cleaning fluid is flushed through the shaver head. Depending on your Clean&Charge Station model and/or program selected, the cleaning time takes up to 3 minutes.
The new Series 5 electric shaver adapts to the contours of your face with 3 flexible blades. Li-Ion Battery for up to 3 weeks of shaving . The Series 5 electric shaver adapts to your facial contours with its 3 Flexible blades. Li-Ion Battery for up to 3 weeks of shaving. Wet shaving with foam did feel more comfortable, but I don’t like the residue that gets left inside electric shavers after using foam, soaps, and shaving creams. I do wonder if these may lessen the longevity of blades/cutters.
I have to sing praises of the 8-direction movement of the shaving head as well. This aids the product in comforting us while shaving. There ARE no snags or awkward pulling of the beard while it does its job. You’d need the head to detach quickly for that to happen and it does. Again, there’s a loud “Click” when it pops out.
Barely bigger than your thumb, the cleaning brush beats picking hair clippings out of your shaver by hand. Place the razor in the charging base but do not activate the cleaning switch. Connect the station power socket to an electrical outlet with the Philips Norelco Shaver required given cord. Remove the shaver blades and set them aside to dry. Slide the MultiHeadLock switch down to lock the shaver head and shave hard-to-reach regions (e.g. under the nose). There are five places in which you can lock the shaver head.
