PHILIPSShaver Series 9000 Prestige, Wet and Dry Electric Shaver, Bright Chrome, Lift & Cut Shaving System, SkinIQ Technology, Qi Charging Pad, Beard Styler, Nose Trimmer, Model SP9871/22

I have had a Phillips shaver for years, it was a 9000 series and could not fault it, however Phillips had stopped producing the replacement heads and the ones available were absolute garbage. I took the plunge and bought myself a new shaver, even though extremely expensive it would appear to be worth it.The new unit is quiet and shaves well, the head unit opens up different from the old one and is a lot easier to clean out the old hairs. It can be a little more difficult to get in around the bottom of the nose but with a little moving of the nose it is possible. The unit itself feels like a good quality construction and hope I am right.I just hope that the replacements heads will be around for the same amount of time as the last one so I can get another 10 years worth of use out of it.

I already own the S9987 Philips shaver which I thought was the best shaver ever with a very close shave and 1 hour charging That was until I purchased this premium model shaver from Philips. It shaves even closer, it is light and cleans very easy under the tap. Got it at a good price as well. I like the magnetic charging even though it takes 3 hours which is longer than my other shaver. I now use my old S9987 model for travel etc. if your after a good shaver I would definitely recommend the premium model for the closest shave I have ever had.

This was purchased to replace a bulldog skull shaver that was plagued by battery issue. A lot more money but has a very long warranty backed by Philips. Battery use life seems shorter than the Bulldog but so far has lasted 10 days and only just dipped below 50%. That is using it daily for face shaving and twice for head shave. More than enough for a two week holiday. Battery charging is done on a rather large wireless pad. The disadvantage of this is its something else that need to be packed for a long trip. Would have liked the option of wired charging via USB. Shave closeness is very good far exceeds the bulldog.. hand grip is good for face shaving but a bit awkward for head shaving compared to the bulldog. Attachments are useful but took a while to work out how to remove the shaver head. Was not as simple as the bulldog (no attachments available for the bulldog just used for head replacements).Instructions not clear on how to remove attachments and action is stiff ( twist firmly anti-clockwise and pull reattach opposite way until click felt). Overall good build quality but is pricey. However it should last at least 5 years ( 5 x how long bulldog seem to last). Not had to replace blades yet (recommended after 3 months)

This is an excellent razor, not cheap, but it is excellent. I have long been a fan of Philip's razors, my last one purchased some 10 years ago, (it was also in the then 9000 range) and I was looking for an upgrade. Then came some offers on a Prime day, and I invested. I was expecting improvements, and certainly got them. A closer shave, faster, coped even better if it needed to catch up after a 3 or 4 day gap, and even easier to clean. I even found my old Trimmer attachment could be swopped across, an added bonus. If you are looking for these types of benefits, and you have had your old razor as long as I had, then you won't be disappointed.

This is the best shaver by miles i use it to shaver my head also,it blows those rubbish bulldog head shavers away absolutely krap they are.i know there a bit more expensive the Philips 9000 but worth every penny and more trust me...

Best shaver ever! Really clean and smooth shave works with a lite touch excellent charging system that’s easy to use good battery life easy to clean highly recommend

For years I've used a philshave and last summer replaced a traditional shaped one with a traditional shaped one. But they've cheapened it so much by using a less powerful electric motor...even after halving the number of cutters to try and compensate for the lack of power it's pretty naff. Hence paying 3 times the cost ofthat shaver for this shaver....yes it's powerful the cutters are great, but the heads a different shape and you can't get to hairs under your nose.Fantastic a 20 year old shaver better and more functional than the two current models...that's progress

It’s absolutely wonderful but very expensive. Hopefully it can last for 10yrs 🤣
