The V-Track Precision Blades collect hair in the optimal cutting position, resulting in a more comfortable shave that’s 30 percent closer to skin. The blades also self-sharpen to ensure a premium wet or dry shave day after day.

5 built-in length settings for trimming stubble to a short beard. Rounded tips and comb are designed to prevent skin irritation.

The LED display shows when the battery is low, when you need a new shaving head and when the travel lock is on. Travel lock prevents the product from turning on by accident.

Maintaining the quality of your shaver at the touch of a button, the SmartClean system keeps your shaver like new every day. With an alcohol-free, skin-friendly formula, the SmartClean system cleans hair, foam and gel through a unique dual-filtration system.

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the electric shaver. Some mention that the movement really makes for an easy experience without the hassle of having to have a charging stand.

Good Shaver - Different SmartClean System

Good Shaver - Different SmartClean System
They have changed the SmartClean dock that is included with this shaver. In the photos and in other reviews it shows a dock with a progress bar for the cleaning process. As you can see in the attached pictures, it now only has the three main steps, as well as charge and replace icons. This doesn't affect the effectiveness, but does make it harder to tell how far along the process is. Also a sign that Philips is trying to cut costs on this model. (or on all models)

Reviewed in Canada on March 11, 2017
Like the 9000 Series shaver this has some nice features that aren’t found on the less expensive models and once you’ve used one of these it’s easy to understand why sometimes it’s better to spend just a little more.

TL;DR – Nice close shave with no razer burn. Shaver head is thin enough to get the area under the nose clean. Long lasting charge and easy to clean foils.

There’s just a lot to like about Philips shavers but the one that stands out for me is their ability to give me a good shave without a hassle or razer burn. The triple foil heads have so far done an excellent job for me. There is one important item to make note of here, when using a triple head shaver do not go back and forward, up and down. You need to run these things in a circular motion to get the best shave. This way the foils can get rid of a lot more hair for every pass you make. When looking at the foils it’s obvious why they get so much hair in one pass, they’re littered with tiny laser cut "S" shaped slots which allow the hairs to slide through easier so the blades can trim them. On lower models the foils have far fewer of these slots. I found that they catch even the shortest stubble.

The included edger does a nice job of trimming the hairs around my ears and side burns. It’s not a real bear trimmer as there's only three length settings on the included comb.

As it’s a wet or dry shaver I find that, depending on how my face feels (you just know it’s going to be a bad shaving day) I’ve used shaving cream to help reduce the lowlihood of a burn happening. The only real difference when doing this compared to dry shaving is that the shaver head needs a good rinsing whereas without cream all it takes is to pop open the head and tap the hairs out.

Please don’t do the typical guy thing and hurry to use the shaver. Plug it in and get the battery fully charged before using the first time. The first charge took about an hour which is pretty much how long it takes to go from drained to fully charged. Also spend 5 minutes going through the well laid out manual, it’s worth it and only a few pages with pictures.

The shaver has been designed for wet or dry use so taking it into the shower isn’t a problem. Personally I'd rather shave in front of a mirror so I never tried it with water other than rinsing it in the sink. An item to note here, it very clearly states in the manual to NOT use the shaver in the shower when plugged into the charger but then we already know it’s a bad idea to use a toaster in the tub.

Cleaning station
Using the cleaning station is pretty much fool proof. I appreciate its simplicity, place the shaver in the holder (front side to the back) then push down on the cap to lock the shaver and push the power button. The rest is all automatic and it powers off when completed. While cleaning it also charges the shaver battery. Once the cleaning part of the procedure is complete it runs a drying phase which takes about 4 hours. There’s nothing to dislike about this as you get a clean shiny well running shaver head after every cleaning. The only thing you'll need to purchase in the future are the cleaning cartridges, they should be replaced every 3 months according to the manual. They are available here on Amazon, search "Philips SmartClean Cleaning Cartridge ". With my other shavers, I’ve found that if I make sure to give the shaver head a good warm water rinse at least once a week I don’t have to run the cleaning station anywhere near as often which saves me money by not buying the cartridges.

This thing runs quiet, I could shave in the bedroom and not wake my wife. It’s not a heavy device which makes manoeuvring it easy. Everything fits together perfectly. The charger here is the same as other current Philips devices, shavers and beard trimmers. This means being able to have and leave chargers in different locations (cottage) even when using multiple devices.

There are some nice features like a power switch lock (push and hold for 7 seconds to activate or deactivate) that are all nicely explained in the manual and yes, there are pictures for these items as well guys.
