a close shave
By S. Hammond
This item is great for the money.Its a substantial rotary shaver, tilting heads to get into all the contours of yer craggy face...lolThis comes with a stand, and a bottle of cleaning solution, which you fill the little reservoir in the stand with.The shaver, I found gave a beautiful smooth, close shave. I have previously been using the philips nivea shaver, and this new one seems to perform better, smoother.When you have finished shaving, put the shaver into its stand, flip the little tab over on the top, and press the clean button on the stand's base, and your stand will slowly lower your shaver into the cleaning solution, and the shaver will switch itself on to give it a good clean, whirring away to get rid of the debris.When this process has finished, the stand will automatically raise the shaver out of the solution bath again.The solution is supposed to clean AND lubricate your shaver heads, and also leaves the shaver smelling fresh.Not sure of the current price of this system, as it seems to have disapppeared off the amazon site, but if you are looking for a decent shaver, then I would thoroughly recommend this, without hesitation, and if anyone should be able to make shavers, then it should be philips!!

excellent cordless rechargeable electric shaver
By A. Kinson
I've had a few electric shaver over the years, and the Powertouch by Phillips is one of the best I have used, and the shaver being cordless is a definite bonus. It charges quickly, gives a good, clean-feeling close shave, but what is unique is the cleaning system.The shaver sits with the shaving head in the jet clean system (after adding the "ocean breeze scented" liquid that comes with the kit) - and it charges the razor whilst cleaning. It takes around an hour for a full charge, or 3 minutes for a quick charge (enough for one shave).The only negatives are: I don't know how much the jet clean solution costs yet, or how easy it is to obtain, and the instructions are picture based, no text, so takes a little while to fully understand the charging system.One word of advice - be careful when moving the charging / cleaning system - as it contains liquid, and if it is tipped sideways, the liquid will spill.

A great fresh clean shave
By Nick Flynn
I was pondering how many stars to give the PoweTouch Plus PT870cc for some time, and have decided on a pretty generous 4.The pros are that it gives an excellent close shave. This is my first rotary shaver (have always preferred a wet shave ... plus I have a braun) so was impressed by how good the shave was.It has a quality look and feel about it, although the heads do not pivot as much as other Philips shavers.The Lithium battery should give you a weeks worth of shaves without any trouble at all and it is certainly quieter than my braun.On the cons side, at 175 quid, i think it is very expensive ... there is a little motorised plinth that lowers into the cleaning solution which is cool the first couple of times you see it in action ... but I wonder how much it added to the price.I have found the Jet Wash solution on Amazon, at a fiver, or 4.25 if you buy on subscription (great idea) but could not find it in my local Boots.The unit is supplied with a 2 pin plug which is useful if you are in a hotel, or you have a 2 pin adapter in your bathroom, but a bit of a pain if you don't. I'm lucky that I have a 3 pin mains cable for by Philips Stubble trimmer with fits. I am a little surprised that Philips did not supply an adapter to make it 3 pin as nearly every gadget I buy these days is supplied with one.The jet clean fluid goes into a small reservoir in the charging base, and great care must be taken when moving the unit or spill will occur.My Braun also has a cleaning system, but that is based on sealed cartridges that slide into the bottom of the unit. Quite pricey I think, but very little chance of spills.It is too early to predict how much cleaning fluid the system will use, my guess is that quite a bit will simple evaporate in warmer weather.So the 4 stars is primarily for the closeness of the shave and the quality of the shaver ... rather than the Jet cleaning side of things.

Philips introduces the AquaTouch--the affordable wet shaver

Most men in their 20s and 30s are unaware that electric shaving can be used wet. They also don't know that wet electric shaving has great benefits for the skin. Philips aims to redress this balance with the introduction of AquaTouch, the affordable electric shaver that is fully waterproof, meaning it can be used wet with foam or gel for a smoother, more comfortable shave and greater skin protection.

Take the rough with the smooth
By Mr BD
There are basically three types of shaves - blade, foil and rotary. More often this divides into three camps - Gillette, Braun and Philips. I will admit now that I have used Braun for more years than I can recall, but thought I'd give this 'Wet and Dry' shaver a go - and was pleasantly surprised.Once you get through the bomb-proof packaging, requiring a really good blade of some sort to penetrate the plastic bubble it is sealed in, it is extremely light. Curved to fit comfortably in the hand, with a rubber coating on the buttons. And there are only two buttons - one very large on the inside of the grip to switch it on and off and another on the back to release the pop-up hair-trimmer.Charging takes one hour, during which a small light on the back pulses. It is surprisingly quiet when used. I thought the battery was drained when I first heard it, but the rotary blades do not make a great deal of noise. Mind you, the hair-trimmer makes up for that - don't use that if you're worried about waking anyone up!As a dry shave it doesn't appear to be as good as the foil shaver I generally use, appearing to require several re-visits to get the skin as smooth as I am used to. However, it is considerably better than smaller shavers I usually take on holiday. With a foil shaver I can tell by the noise of the foil sliding across my face just how closely I have been shaved. With this I keep having to check with my other hand. Not the end of the world.Cleaning this is just a matter of running it under the tap. The face, with the blades on, flips open and you can run the water inside. There is also a small brush included for regular maintenance.Using this for a wet shave is impressive. It feels so much smoother and does appear to do a far better job than a dry shave. The shaving foam doesn't bother it, just rinse it now and again so it doesn't disappear under the foam as you move it around. So if you have the time it is definitely worth it.It comes with a small pouch that has a cord to hang it from. It would have been nice if this pouch had a little pocket to store the brush in - I will lose the brush eventually. A small instruction manual shows with diagrams how to charge, use, clean and maintain it.Many, many years ago I tried a Philips shaver and thought I was going to end up like Freddy Kruger, but this is such a nice shaver. If I have the time for a wet shave then I will use in preference to any other shave. If you're from the Philips camp of shaving I think you're in for a treat.

Closest electric shave I've had - and it can be used wet too
By R. S. Bacon
This Philips shaver ticks all the boxes: quick to charge, long run times, quiet in operation and most importantly of all gives a really good shave.Used as a traditional electric shaver it performs well; so well that I have to say it's probably the closest electric shave I've had. No tugging or post-shave soreness either.But the ace up its sleeve is that you can shave wet with this shaver. That doesn't mean shave whilst in the shower, it means using foam or gel as though you were going to use a blade.I tried it using Nivea gel foam (comes out as green gel and goes on your face as foam, magic) which this shaver then removed as part of the shaving process leaving my skin even smoother than before.No clogging of the head either and you just rinse the head under water afterward, shake off the excess and put it away. Simples. And a perfect shave too.The foam acts as a lubricant which allows the shaver to glide over your face. And it really does remove ALL the shaving foam as it does it, giving further proof that it shaves closely.So, a quiet, smooth shave with a washable shaver - what more can you ask for?

Bye Bye Gillette!
By Maulana Pir Nakhshbandi Sahib
I've never been a fan of electric shavers as i feel they don't give a closer shave than a manual razor...until now that is. This shaver gives you a closer shave than a Gillette ProGlide Razor, but you will have to be patient to get results. If you've never shaved before using an electric shaver, then you need to use this for at least 3 weeks for your skin to get used to it. The first time i shaved (wet) with this shaver, it hurt like hell with blood all over my neck. I started using Nivea Extreme Comfort post-shave balm which helped with the irritation. Over the next few weeks, the irritation got less & less and now there is no irritation. The thing to bear in mind when using this shaver is to shave in a circular motion with VERY light pressure; if you press too hard, it will irritate your skin! I have also switched to dry shaving using Old Spice pre-electric shave lotion which really helps to give you a close shave.The Jet Clean system not only cleans the shaver but also lubricates it. I use this twice a week and it definitely keeps the shaver in tip-top condition.Any downsides? Yes, from reading various reviews it seems that there is a major design bug in the sensotouch 3d series as there seems to be no overcharging protection built in the shaver. Its been widely reported that leaving the shaver on charge for extended periods of time 'fries' the battery and some people have reported having a dead battery after 6 months of use. I cannot confirm this as i'm unwilling to take the risk so i always unplug the charger from mains after the shaver is fully charged.Finally i bought this from Amazon USA (Jet Clean version of 1280 wasn't available in UK at the time) and i only paid £230 including delivery & import taxes. Ordered on Friday and was delivered the following Tuesday all the way from Las Vegas to Inverness! Brilliant service as usual from Amazon.

A new Experience
By RJM
After reading all the reviews on Amazon and across the Internet I was a little sceptical as to whether the outlay for such an item would in fact be worth it, especially with the reviews highlighting some of the negative points. Enough to say I made up my mind and ordered the item from Amazon. It was delivered 2 days ahead of schedule and in good condition.The item was well packed and pretty simple to setup and get working. The instruction book is aimed at making it easy for idiots, and therefore was highly confusing for everyone who does not fall into that category :).The Shaver charged from zero to 60 minutes in no time at all. The charger then stopped charging the shaver which seems to contravene many of the reviews saying that the charger never stops. Whilst there is a charge the shaver shows the length of time it can be used. As soon as the charging has ended the display goes black.As I have never used an electric shaver before I was a little reticent with using it due to the reviews that state how it takes many days or even weeks for the skin to get accustomed to the shaving technique. This was compounded as I have very sensitive skin and can come out in blotches with a wet shave razor, and only use sensitive shaving gel!Having little patience I decided to try it out as soon as possible, not even bothering to use gel but purely dry shave. I followed the instructions, to the picture, using gentle circular motions and before I knew it I had easily shaved a days growth. The results were not as clean as a razor, although easily comparable to a new razor only used shaving in the direction of growth. So all in all a very good result. The most astounding detail is that I am still to have a reaction, after a number of days shaving dry, using the appropriate technique, I have not had an adverse reaction at all!! This really has positively surprised me.The wet shave works very well and I am sure the cleaning procedure will be as nearly all the other reviews.I just wanted to add a review that highlights some of the questions that are raised and how I have experienced the shaver first hand.Is it worth the money? If you have the money definitely, although maybe I am not the best judge as I have no comparable knowledge of other electric shavers, but it compares very favourably to a new razor blade with ease.I hope this review will help others with some of the doubts that I myself had.

Style over substance?
By Clara
Found this with a £100 discount - so no brainer? I wanted to upgrade my several years old Philishave 8894. First the negatives.The accompanying instruction leaflet is IKEA style and as helpful, which means not at all.The ergonomics are poor, long and thin with a polished slippery surface.The battery recharge life at 60 minutes is less than half the 8894.It comes with an ugly cleaning tank.The 8894 is simplicity itself to clean. Flip the hinged head, blow out beard shavings (preferably out the window) and run under tap. Done!Cost of running the 8894 other than electricity - NIL.At a rough estimate the RQ 1280 would cost about £80 a year in cleansing solution with the pain of shopping for it. And this for a razor with a RRP of £299. At £7 a go for 300ml of ionised water, think inkjet cartridge rip-off.The blade length of the trimmer is just 15mm wide, not a huge problem but its 25% smaller than the 8894.Other reviewers mention 'battery fry' if the 1280 is left on charge too long. I cannot comment further but I have done this many times with the 8894 with no adverse effect.The ability of the razor to follow the contours of the face is a much vaunted feature but the head 'flex' is only marginally greater than my existing razor.Now for the positives.Well, there are none to mention, it has been returned. Most of the reviews of this product are favourable, for me it's overpriced even with a third off and over stylised, so it's back to my vintage 8894. If you suffer from razor rash or eczema, try Nivea's Post Shave Balm, occasional use has worked well for me and at £5 a time, it may save you a lot of money.

Solid and reliable, like all Philips shavers I have used
By Andromeda Descendent
Philips always seem to make very good shavers, and there is nothing to fault this latest Power Touch model. There is a rubber area where your thumb grips it that incorporates the power button, on the back there is a pop-up trimmer, and the three shaving discs are on pads that rotate to match the contours of your face. Additionally, the whole thing is on a pivot that I think is a new feature to this range, as I haven't see it in their shavers before.Cleaning the bits of whisker out is very easy, as all you need to do is pull down on a catch and the top flips open. It's well placed away from the grip, so that there's no chance of pushing it by accident. There's a little brush included to help you with cleaning inside this compartment, and cleaning the mechanism itself when it's time to dismantle it and give it a quick service. This is something you should do with this type of shaver from time to time to keep it working well - and the instructions include easy to follow diagrams that show you how to do this.Another feature is that when you remember that yesterday the shaver ran out of power and you said to yourself, "I'll charge it this evening" and then forgot to do so, you can plug it in for a few minutes and it'll give you enough to take it away to the bathroom for one shave.It also comes with a power cord and plastic shaver-head cap.

Being over-sensitive...
By stylepuppy
I've been shaving electrically for more years than I care to admit (OK, it's over 30 years!) but I've always used foil shavers, this is the first rotary shaver I've owned and I'd always been curious about how they performed. Firstly, I'll admit I'm blessed (?) with quite sensitive skin and shaving in particular can be a painful business for me, but after all these years my face is completely used to electric shavers (I almost never blade-shave) so I wasn't expecting any problems. I've given my face a couple of weeks to adjust to the PT870 but it's still not happening, we're not getting along very well at all.They're like lawnmowers! The difference between using a foil shaver and a rotary is much like the difference between a cylinder lawnmower and a hover one. The cylinder is more precise, cuts shorter and is more controllable especially on the edges. The hover is good over open areas but it's a bit imprecise and less controllable and doesn't give me an even finish. On normal beard hair the PT870 works OK, it cuts reasonably short and it's surprisingly quiet (if that matters) compared to most of my previous shavers. If you stray away from your stubble, onto neck hair for example, it's not so good - with softer, less bristly hair it seems to act more like an epilator, yanking hair out at the root instead of trimming it and that gets painful. The pop-out trimmer isn't the best either - it can only be moved in a downward direction during use, if you try to move upwards it just folds the trimmer back into the shaver.There are good things about the PT870 - the ability to rinse it under running water is great, no more buying cleaning solutions (although Philips do offer them) and it also recharges quickly. Changing the cutters or removing them for more intensive cleaning is fiddly but Philips say they can last for two years before needing replacement and that's longer than any foil shaver I've had. In the end shaving's a subjective thing for most men and It might just be that my skin doesn't suit the PT870, but if you also suffer sensitive skin or are prone to shave-burn I'd think twice about getting one. I wish I liked it more but I'm disappointed by it and I know from experience there are much better shavers available in this price range.

pretty good, but can't replace a wet shave
By Ibraar
Well, I'm not one who is used to using electric shavers.I have one of those faces where you'll see a 5 o clock shadow at Noon - and my facial hair is THICK!I tend to wet shave as many years before when I tried using a phillips shaver my stubble was troublesome, and impossible to comfortably shave with the electric - and so the shaving was an arduous endeavour - and to top it off I came out in a nasty rash!So, many years later I've found myself in possession of this new shaver from Phillips.After giving it a go I have decided that it's not for me - not because my stubble is too course or thick, no, it's because I find this shaver inadequate just like any other electric shaver, inadequate in that it is simply incapable of effectively and quickly shaving the stubbel on my chin and neck area and cannot cut a straight side burn line.To be fair it ploughs through the stubble on my cheeks and upper chin and sides easily, but then struggles to cope with contours and my neck and lower chin leaving bits of annoying bum fluff I need to contort and push the shaver to deal with - and it's all rather annoying and time consuming which means the whole point of having an electric shaver - to save time - comes to nought!If you're used to electric shavers, this is fairly good - its waterproof, easy to wash and clean, battery lasts a long time, its well built, and sturdy, and the shaving head is flexible and the blades perform very well with no sign of burns or a rash. It has a pop out trimmer with which one can trim sideburns or a beard - but lacks the ability to shave a staright line eg. to line off a side burn effectively!Others may well give it 4 to 5 stars, but unfortunately it's not for me and I find a wet shave quicker, easier, more accurate, more comfortable and ultimately the 'ritual' is more a part of the day and life rather than this electric shaver.I've given it 3 stars as it's not 'crap' nor is it useless, however it is I believe strictly for those who are used to and prefer electric shavers and for those I'd recommend buying!
