Philips Shaver Series 9000

First off I'll let you know that I've been quite comfortable with my Babyliss shaver over the past few years. It cuts cleanly and it's easy to use. I'll also tell you that I've never enjoyed those triple rotating whizzing blades that you've got to pass over your face a few times before you're cleanly shaven. I found them actually quite sore to use as it felt like I was using mini tweezers to pull the hairs out of my face.

Anyway...that has since changed...

A couple of weeks ago I was introduced to the brand new Philips Shaver Series 9000 wet & dry electric shaver and was given one to use. For the first week I only used the Smartclick Precision Trimmer because of my fear of the triple rotating blades pulling my hairs out. 2 days ago I decided to be a man and use the Smartclick V-Track Precision heads.

I first used the trimmer to get rid of as much hair as possible (as indicated in the directions of use) and then I clicked on the precision heads and mowed away. Man...it felt so good! No pulling of the facial hair at all and I hardly had to pass over the same area to get a smooth finish! I realised that the trick was indeed to get the hair as short as possible before using the precision heads.

Now one of the coolest things about the 9000 is the fact that it comes with a charger/Smart Cleaner. You simply slip the shaver into the holder and it starts cleaning the heads. 4 hours later your shaver is charged, clean, disenfected, dry and ready to use.

They'll be in South Africa soon and will retail for around R3,500.
