Best shave ever. Thought the cost was high but went for it and it was a win win.

This is by far the very best shave that I have ever had. I have tried many shavers over the years and have found that the 3 blade/cup style works best for me. I have been using the mid grade Philips shavers for most of those years and have always gotten, what I thought was, a great shave. But I'm here to tell you that stepping up to the s9000 is the best shaving decision that I have made. The shave is, hands down, the closest and smoothest shave with No skin irritation that I have ever had.

I'm back! I purchased a Prestige shaver 2 years ago. Used it for 1 year and loved it, but sold it because I thought a competing foil shaver would be easier to clean. What was I thinking! The foil shaver was smooth, but not comfortable at all, and no easier to clean. I am back for good to Philips shavers. I have used them for 60+ years. The Prestige really feels good on my skin and the shave is quick and smooth.

This razor works better then any of my previous razors. It’s quiet, comfortable, and shaves very close. Overall, it’s a winner!

I recommend every one to try this you'll love it. As battery life is much better digital and see how much battery you have left last about a month. Recharging is simple. It's worth every penny. Surprise a loved one and make him have confidence in shaving that last a year of shaving or more with proper use. Over all satisfaction guaranteed!!

I love the fact that you can use this with shaving cream! Smooth shave easy clean up.

After almost a year of shaving with the Philips S9000 Prestige, I can honestly say that I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend this product due to design and comfort. Closeness of shaves are comparable to shaving with blades against the grain. Another great feature is battery life. I typically only charge it about once a month. I will say this: if you're going from blade to electric razor, do give your skin at least 30 days to get used to electric.

Best razor I have had so far. Give an amazing shave.

love the water clean up, life of the battery between charges, the settings feature

I've used a electric since I was young enough to need to shave, and a rotary for decades. The S9000 offers the best shave of all, in my experience. I did need to give it a couple weeks to sharpen itself and to acquire the right touch, but now it does an excellent job. The shaver is wonderful, but for this price I would expect both a stand, brush, and shaver head cap, and for there to be a far better trimmer mechanism. I reused an old head cap from my arcitec 98xx model, but that seems silly at this price point. Why should I have to order a brush when one is needed to "deep clean" the shaver every month?

I've had many Philips shavers in the past. I was a little hesitant due to the higher price to get this one.I've had this S9000 Prestige for almost two months and am amazed at its closeness of shave, it's number of shaves on a charge, it's smoothness on skin and it hasn't burned, cut or damaged my skin in any way. if it continues on with its fantastic
capabilities and results and I think it will, It's price was well worth it...Heres hoping :-)

After having shaved with shaving creme and "pivoting twin blades" for longer than forty years, I decided to switch recently to an electric shaver.

I have been very happy with my Philips electric toothbrush for the past two years, so I did a Google search for "Philips razors" and found this product.

My shaves are now closer than before, and I am no longer cutting myself. Also, I can use the little clipper to reach areas that are not automatically reached with normal shaving.

I saw reviews where people were complaining about this razor. It has exceeded my expectations. I like that it gets the hair closest to my nostrils. Super product.

the best shaver made, I have been using Norelco shavers since 1957

This razor is the best electric razor I have ever used. When shaving with shaving cream the closeness is better than a blade razor. The use daily is consistent each day.

I have used virtually every shaving device over many years. My face is too sensitive for manual razors and I have always preferred the even shave a rotary electric razor provides. But fairly recently I also tried the top-rated foil electric razors given their power and speed. The foil electric razors are fast but do not provide an even shave given that they are poor at getting to facial hair on the neck and in crevices. The Philips S9000 Prestige solves the problem by manifesting everything one would desire in an electric rotary razor: it is fast; it is gentle; it does not get hot on the face; it provides an even shave by being excellent at getting to curves on the neck and other facial crevices. This is a very expensive electric razor that ends up being worth it. I only wish it came with a cleaning station. And the three-speeds are unnecessary given how gentle the device is on your face. I highly and unhesitatingly recommend the Philips S9000 Prestige. It is the best electric razor ever made.

I like the features the new shaver offers and the closeness of the shave.

I used the old model until now I have new one it so smooth

Best product I’ve ever used made by Phillips.You can’t go wrong

The Philips S9000 far exceeds my previous Philips / Norelco shavers in ease of use; comfort and closeness of shaving; and ease of cleaning and shaver head replacement. The S9000 is well designed and should give me many years of dependable use.

I give this razor a excellent rating for overall quality and appearance

have used a different style electric razor for well over 50 years, but was starting to have a hard time with my stubble and neck hairs . this rotary system really works much better especially on my neck and under my chin. the three multi flexible heads do an excellant job. i bet it works on younger men also.

This shaver gives a nice close shave without any cuts. I get a week out of the battery with shaving every day. I am not a big fan of the charging base. It takes up a lot of space.

Having been a long time user of the 9000 series and having often had issues with its contour shaving, I bought this reluctantly.
Oh boy!!,, what a shave this gives.. Philips has definitely upped the blades and the contour adjustments in this prestige version and they give a better shave than the 9000 series.
The razor also adjusts to the beard size and like quoted gives a much closer shave.
The wireless charging pad that it comes with can be used to charge your mobile phones ( if they're wireless charging enabled) or any other devices that are wireless charging enabled.
My only complaint is that the carry box is so bulky than its previous versions, but I understand it is bulky to give space to fit in the wireless charger and the trimmer.

I am a long time user of Philips shavers. I decided to buy this shaver, despite it’s being more expensive than competitors because of my good past experience. I am happy to say that This is really a good buy. The only small caveat I noticed is with the need to replace the shaving head with a sideburn trimmer which I find a bit odd. Otherwise great product

Have not used an electric razor in years and very pleased with how close a shave I get. Might be tough to use up my last can of shaving cream!

I tend to take too much time shaving because i try to get all the little hair that are not cut in all the passes. This razor cut more in less passes. I have also wet shaved wich is amazing. I use a light pre-shave lather, and the skin is left very smooth. The special coating around the idividual heads arevery smooth. You don't realize how much they glide across your skin until you think about it, but you definitely feel it. I'm not sure i understand the speed settings. It says for a quick shave use the high setting and for a more gentle shave use the lower setting. So if you shave fast use the fast setting? The razor feels heavy duty more like a machine than a plastic razor. When you turn it on you can feel it start up the blades with a pulse that you know will be powerful. The case is high quality. The razor is very well protected in this case.

very good!!!!!I like it so much.This shaver gives me a very good experience. I would recommend it to friends.

I have used Norelco shavers satisfactorily for many years. This.9000 shaver is completely superior to any other. I now shave more quickly and closer.
Thank You

I've been using Philips Norelco shavers for 40 years now and was rather unhappy with the last 1 I was using that's even though the shaver head was supposedly their best one, it just wasn't getting the job done. I read the reviews on this one and noticed that they had a new technology in the shaver head so I decided to try it. The first shave was my usual dry shave and it definitely cut way better than the previous one and I was happy just with that result. However, this shaver can be used while showering and still operate properly. So I decided to try that lathering up a bit the face and then shower shaving. The result was fantastic! It was an extremely close and smooth shave, as good if not better than razor blade shaves. Also, shaving in the shower with lather allows a faster shave to be done so there's time being saved here as well. I'm extremely happy with this product and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is really picky about having a very close shave and smooth one. The use of the three different speeds hasn't been totally figured out for me yet but I seem to operate best with the slowest speed. The technology used in this shaver head is new but it's the best ever in their previous 40 years that I've been using a products. So this is a very well done to the Philips Norelco team for designing and producing an excellent product that satisfies all my desires from a good electric shaver.

Easy, fast shave even on a 5 day beard, highly recommend the shaver.

As stated in the summary. Both heads need to be used to complete shaving. The case is not large enough to hold and zipped specially during travel

I've owned many Norelco rotary razors over the years. I can't even list them all. The Prestige performs better than any of them. The NanoTech blades work better on my face than any of the previous lift n cut blades did.

I had been using a Norelco 7000 series and it was not giving me a close shave. The 9300 was expensive but it is the best shaver I have ever used. I get a close, clean shave with less passes over the same place to get it done. The handle is different from past shavers but very easy to get used to - with both hands. The battery is amazing - I have not charged in two weeks and still have 46% this morning. I love this shaver.

Never before was i able to shave each day without destroying my face. With this shaver, this is 100% achievable without any damage to the skin.

I was admittedly very surprised at just how well this new version of the razor actually worked from the very fist shave I took with it. I was ready to use a standard razor to catch areas that this would miss during the 30 day break in period. To my surprise not only did I NOT have to use the standard razor, but I also had almost no skin irritation either. I love the look of using the pad to recharge it as well.

So, a few weeks has now gone by, and its still performing as well as the first day. Keep the head clean each use, recharge it, and it works perfectly.

I have used Phillips shavers for a long time, over 50 years, and the Prestige is the best ever. Shaving dry, past rotary shavers were easy on the face but not as close as foil models. Foil models gave me a “burn” so it was always a choice. Not so with the Prestige. It is as close as a foil but still as comfortable as ever. It is also very quiet. The only negative is it doesn’t come with a cleaning unit so you have to spend a few minutes to take the head off and rinse it out. On the plus side no need to purchase cleaning solution.

have used Norelco for over 10 years.
Before buying this unit I tried a different one but liked the S9531 best

I started with blades then Braun years ago. Went to Norelco and been great for at least 10 years. Was going to purchase a new Norelco and saw the 900s. Big bucks but great reviews. Ordered one. Love the sound....nice clean whine. No rattle at all. The shave is as close as a blade shave....I am not kidding. This thing is crazy. I love it!!!!

As good as a razerblade but easier and not irritating the skin

Nicely designed, sleek, feels luxurious in the hand. Overall excellent, should come with a stand for storage, laying on it's side takes too much shelf space.

I have been a customer of Philip's Norelco razors for decades. This Prestige razor is remarkable. The shave the razor gives is the closest and most comfortable I have ever had. The feel of the razor is very easy to hold. The shaving heads are new to the Prestige razor and are very close and comfortable. This is the greatest electric razor I have ever owned. Bravo Phillips, this is a great razor and worth the cost.

I have use Phillips Norelco razors since 1965. I wouldn’t consider using another product. With this new Prestige razor, I get the closest and most comfortable shave ever. I highly recommend this razor.

Over the years I have owned seven Norelco Rotary Razors. Most of them have given me at least a good shaving experience. A few did not shave as close as I would like, and at least one tended to pull on whiskers. The Norelco 9000 Prestige that i bought about a month ago is in a class by itself. It not only is the most comfortable electric shave I have ever experienced it is faraway the closest electric shave I have ever had. For me at least it is as close as a manual razor. I use it dry and see no reason to try it wet. Congratulations on a superb product. Pricey, but worth it!

After many long years using electric shavers, my older Norelco shaver couldn't be repaired. needless to say, it had served me well over the past 15 years. I opted for another Norelco; this time, the S9000 Prestige. WOW! what an improvement! I now get the closest shaves ever. Ergonomically, it is very comfortable in my hands and easy to maneuver. The full floating heads float over the skin and touch every indent and valley. Maintenance is improved too: Rinsing the shaver after each shave keeps it clean and allows for every shave to be the closest possible. Great shaver. I definitely recommend it to anyone using or thinking of using an electric shaver.

I was given the opportunity to try this razor and provide a review. Rather than write the first things that came to mind, I decided to use it for several weeks to allow the newness to wear off. I also wanted to test the claims of whether it would successfully shave a 7-day beard, a task that is a real challenge for electric razors. I actually tried this several times since, as I work from home, I often go several days between shaving. However, there are times when I shave every day and there are even times when I shave more than once a day.

This razor performs better than any electric I have ever tried. On the week old beard, it shaved clean and close no multiple passes and no cleaning up with a blade. Where I really saw a difference was when I needed to shave more than once in one day. The super sharp blades delivered a close shave without pushing against my skin and causing irritation.

There really isn`t anything I wold change about this razor and in the many years I have been shaving, I have tried every imaginable option. I will be sticking with this one because there isn`t much that can be done to improve it.

I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. After thoroughly evaluating the Phillips Mens Prestige Trimmer, I found it to be the best electric shaver that I have used. I have owned many shavers in the past, but this one far exceeded my expectations.

This product is very well designed. It is comfortable in the hand and provides a very close shave. The trimmer stays close even around the curves of the face and neck. The shaver has the trimmer attachment that allows you to get the close and clean lines whether you are using it on a beard or mustache.

I have no complaints with this shaver and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality trimmer.

I was ask to participate in a product review for the Philips/Norelco S9000 Prestige shaver/trimmer. In exchange for the product, I agreed to write a review of my experience. Right out of the box, I liked the razor. It has a sleet, ultra modern look with a digital readout for battery level, etc. It has the most quiet motor I have ever heard from a razor. But, don`t take quiet for weakness. It comes with Nonotech precision blades which give a great shave. I used the product on day to day shaves, and once with a 4 day growth. The shaves were the same, with not tugging or pulling. It`s quick and easy, and it fits perfectly in my hand. With beard adapting sensors, and the 3 speed motor, You cannot go wrong. It comes with instructions, charger, and a trimming attachment to shape sideburns, beards, etc. Last but not least is the hard shell, zippered case for travel. I absolutely recommend this product.

I have been using the Prestige trimmer for the past 2 weeks. it is a very sleek, yet powerful trimmer. To start, I am a guy who is likes to save money. The trimmer is a much better value than buying blades. I have been very impressed with this trimmer, It gives me a shave as close as a blade, maybe closer. My face is as smooth as a babies bottom after using the Prestige trimmer. The battery life is awesome. In 2 weeks, it still does not need to be charged. The trimmer is the best one I have ever owned. The only thing it is missing is a stand, so I can have it stand up on the counter in the bathroom. Rest assured, this trimmer works well and wont leave you with knicks on your face. The trimmer will pay for itself in 6 months if you use blades. I did receive a free sample in exchange for this review

This is a solid shaver that does a great job and is comfortable to use. So you're aware, I received this shaver as a demo to test out for this review. I've used this shaver now for about ten days, though the instructions say I should give it a full 3 weeks before really making any judgements. I'm ready, however, to make some initial judgements. For the first and last shaves, the growth was fairly long, long enough that my multi-blade razors have trouble, the Norelco OneBlade would get through with multiple multiple passes (but lots of pinching and hairs everywhere), and electric shavers like this would be okay with but typically require multiple passes as well. In all instances, whether with significant growth (for me) or just a day's stubble, this shaver handled it extremely well. I tried both shaving dry and with some cream. When dry, the shaver did take a couple passes when the hair was longer, but there was no tugging or pinching, and my skin did not get irritated (a huge plus for me compared to other razors). With some cream, it was also a very pleasant and close shave.

The shaver came in a nice box (presentation and the unboxing experience has hit shavers!). Inside, was the shaver, a power cord, the beard trimmer/shaver attachment, a nice little zipping case to hold things, and the instruction booklet/warranty card. The shaver itself looks nice. It's light. It's easy to hold. It has a large display to indicate its battery charge and a few other things. When you pick up this shaver, the display lights up to show you the percentage left in the battery. When just doing a quick daily once over, it uses about 1-2% of the total. When I have done a longer shave, it has used as much as 6% of the battery. There seems to be plenty of charge to get you through a week or two of personal travel/work trip.

The shaver has three speeds: the slowest is supposed to be the most comfortable (but take a bit longer to get everything) and the fastest perhaps a bit less comfortable/rougher on your skin (but a faster shave). I didn't really notice any real difference in results or comfort when the speeds were different, but I'll have to play around with that more...and perhaps it makes a bigger difference for people with more sensitive skin than me. The shaving head did a good job following the contours of my face. It is a more responsive and `flexible` than other electric shavers I've used. The marketing says that this shaving head has technologies to help it glide over the skin...I have no idea what that really means except that after multiple shaves, it gets the hairs and doesn`t irritate me. So no complaints here.

Other than that, it has other icons on the display...one that tells you that the blades should be replaced, another if you try to turn it on while it's plugged in, another to remind you to clean it... Those are nice, but don't really add much value to me. I also can't really comment on how long the blade stays useable. The documentation says it should last a year. I'll update the review if it lasts that long (or if it doesn't) and the cost of the replacement. At some point, I'll also probably get lazy and not shave at all for a couple of weeks. I'll give the shaver a try on a week-long growth and the trimmer attachment on something longer and report back. I can say that the trimmer attachment looks much more substantial than the little pop up one on my other electric shaver.

Overall, I'm happy with this shaver. It does everything it advertises. It's a very close shave that's comfortable whether I shave dry or wet. Know the exact percentage of battery is comforting as well. I guess the main question is, given the price of this thing, is whether it shaves that much better than many of the cheaper alternatives. I'm leaning towards yes, but if I found a sub-$100 shaver that feels and shaves as good as this one, I'd probably have to lower the rating a bit (on the performance versus cost aspect).

I'll update if things change.
