Philips Norelco Shaver i9000 Prestige Ultra Wet

Finally a rotary that can quickly and efficiently get baby smooth results. Well worth the investment

I used Philips Norelco electric razors for years. Worked well and never stopped. Yet, I felt the older models were lacking when the beard was a few days old, so I tried the Braun Series 9 Pro. It was fine for long whiskers, but never got close enough. Searched a few more tube videos and decided the Panasonic ARC6 was a smart idea. At first, it handled the long and the short of it, and I thought I was on to something. But the blade sharpness declined quickly and after a few months it started to sound like an outdoor yard tool. I jumped at the chance to purchase this new Norelco. Nirvana! Handles long whiskers and gets so close and I love the cleaning system and UV case to sterilize and recharge the razor. When you open the head you do not see residue from many shaves. Cleaning handles that issue, so after months the sharpness continues. The app and glowing lights show the amount of pressure and motion you should use to shave and is designed to train you for the closest shave. It is high tech, to be sure, but I have found that pressing a bit harder and not worrying about seeing the green light rim around the razor actually results in the closest shave I have ever had! Perfection. So, don't worry about the app. The shave is close and smooth, no nicks, no pulls, and no irritation. Cleaning system is amazing and it is quiet. It fits the hand perfectly and is lighter than the Braun or Panasonic. I have found the perfect razor. Worth every dollar.

Have used Remington micro screens and Panasonic foil shavers. Also had a cheap norelco style that didn’t work well. Was surprised how quiet this was and how well it shaved. Cleaner is great. Don’t have to pull apart and brush everything. Most expensive shaver I have ever bought but if it keeps performing the way it does it is worth it.

I would like to leave the rating without a single star. I have been using this shaver for months now, and no matter how I try, I cannot have a clean shave every single time. I have to take a trimmer and trim off the hair that is left by this shaver. Does not matter if the beard is couple of days grown or more, no matter in which circular motion I try, I cannot get this shaver to cleanly shave (not even close to 75%) my beard. I have been using electric shavers for almost 2 decades now, and I can say this is the worst shaver I ever used. I have to spend double time, first using this shaver and then using another trimmer to clear out the left over hair every single time.

They are a little pricey, but seem to be worth the money. I probably could’ve gotten away with a cheaper model, but I wanted to go all in and buy a better one. My last Phillips Norelco lasted over 10 years. The shave is great and it’s real easy to clean.
