I highly recommend the newest line of Prestige shavers. The latest model (SP9841/84) comes with the pentagonal heads and the SH91 blades which deliver a smooth, close shave in five minutes. It also has the cleaning pod enabling the shaver to clean his shaver's head in one minute's time and then leave it to drip in the pod which provides a handy storage spot on the counter. Whereas the 9500 series also has the same head and cleaning option, its handle is not as ergonomic as the Prestige's making the 9500 far more difficult to handle. The older Prestige shavers (SP9820 and SP9860) have the rounded shaving heads but these do not allow the shaver to be cleaned in a pod and the head needs to be entirely removed to be thoroughly cleaned.

On the newest Prestige the head flips open which is a much more useful way to clean the shaver under the tap on days you don't want to clean it in the pod. As an aside: I also have the older 9721 Norelco which came with the cleaning station that has heating coils to help dry the shaver. I discovered that the newer SH98 blades worked perfectly on that shaver so on a whim I removed the entire head from the 9721 and tried it on my new Prestige and it worked beautifully. So, on those days that I decide to shave with the rounded heads of the older Prestige, I can mount that head onto the handle of my new SP9841. When the shave is done I can remount the head onto my older 9721 and clean it in the older cleaning station. Options... I have plenty of great options and a superb shaver in my new Prestige. For those who do not have the older shaver, don't despair. The newest Prestige will provide you with all the shaver you really need so enjoy it. Just remember to turn it 90 degrees to get a closer shave under the nose and ears due to the pentagonally shaped heads. For the neck, cheeks and chin this rotation is not needed. A great shaver, guys.

I’ve used a traditional razor with shaving cream all my life. I was curious about electric razors but heard they didn’t shave as closely as a blade. During COVID (like many stay/work at homes) I stopped shaving daily. For the occasional zoom meeting I would have to shave, and I began wishing I had an electric, for a quick touch up. I finally got one, the cheapest Norelco. Even though I had limited expectations, it didn’t meet even those. I spent more time than with a razor trying to get a minimally close shave. Just wouldn’t do it. Sigh. I’d read reviews for the Prestige and was intrigued by users saying the shave was the best possible from an electric, rivaling a blade. The price was an obstacle.

Very pleased with the Prestige. It’s a high class experience in every way. Pricey but worth it for me.

Most importantly my husband says this gives a good shave. As he gets older he has found it increasingly hard to find a good effective electric shaver. A big downside is the charger and this wasn’t apparent on the packaging or in the many reviews I read. It’s a largish rectangular metal plate that the shaver lies on to charge. It’s effective but it’s also heavy and bulky. Our charging socket sits inside the bathroom cupboard- luckily a fairly deep cupboard so charger will just fit but it takes up a lot of the space.

When I pulled this out of the box, the device was at 10% charge; plugging it in had it charged to 100% in probably an hour or less (I wasn't monitoring closely). I've tried this out for a few days now and it gives a very close shave and contours to parts of your face without having to go over it over and over again. I do have slightly sensitive skin so there was some irritation when I first tried it out but after changing the settings for sensitive skin and using it a few more times. The instruction manual actually recommends you give this at least three shaves within a week to give your body time to acclimate to a new shaving system. I always dry shave with electric shavers but this one is capable of doing wet shaving with shaving cream as well, which should help ... MoreWhen I pulled this out of the box, the device was at 10% charge; plugging it in had it charged to 100% in probably an hour or less (I wasn't monitoring closely).

I always dry shave with electric shavers but this one is capable of doing wet shaving with shaving cream as well, which should help out with achieving a closer shave without irritation.I am slightly confused by the charging mechanism as the dock that this shaver comes with does not function as a charging dock - it's exclusively intended to house the cleaning solution for cleaning the razor mechanisms. The shaver needs to be connected directly to the charging cable to be charged. Speaking of the razors, the heads are all water resistant and can be rinsed under running water to wash out hair and debris. This also comes with a trimmer head that you can easily swap out with minimal effort.I was shocked to feel how light this shaver was to hold. I think it was designed strategically to be lightweight without reducing the feel of quality and good construction.My only issue really has to do with the dock (hence the 4/5 stars) as I would expect it to be a charging dock but it's not a deal breaker. It is a compact cleaning mechanism as other comparable systems have HUGE docks to be able to hold the cleaning solution. Speaking of compact, this also comes with a hardshell storage case that also has space for the charger, cleaning brush, and trimming attachment.
Judging just from the appearance of the Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige shaver, the design is elegant and modern. The triple rotary head is soft and flexible and has a hinged opening for easy cleaning the heads. While I don’t have a thick heavy beard, the shaver glides effortlessly and conforms to every angle of my face perfectly. One of the reasons I stopped using electric shavers before was the fact that longer hairs on the neck and under the chin were impossible to shave without using a blade, but the S9000 Prestige has no problem. I will be so glad to return to an electric shaver as expensive blade razors dull quickly and I was prone to at least one cut per shave. From an ecological standpoint, electric shaving helps to save the planet from tossing more and more ... MoreJudging just from the appearance of the Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige shaver, the design is elegant and modern.

I will be so glad to return to an electric shaver as expensive blade razors dull quickly and I was prone to at least one cut per shave. From an ecological standpoint, electric shaving helps to save the planet from tossing more and more plastic shavers into the landfills. I like to moisturize my skin after shaving and my skin feels every bit as smooth as using a blade. One thing I really appreciate is how quiet the shaver is, probably a sign of the high precision quality of the shaver itself.This is my first wet/dry shaver and so this was my first attempt at using foam shaving cream with an electric shaver. I was amazed at how smooth and quiet it is while shaving with foam, and it even feels like a slightly closer shave with less irritation than when using either a blade or dry electric shaver. I think I will use it as a wet shaver from now on.The detachable charging cord plugs directly into the razor. I prefer this over using a charging base that take up valuable counter space around the sink. Charging only takes about an hour. The percentage of battery life remaining on the shaver is easy to read and takes all the guesswork of knowing when it's time for a charge. The trimmer requires pulling the head straight off and it snaps into place with a simple firm push. I like the fact that opening the shaving heads is a simple slide of a button and it’s hinged to avoid dropping and potentially damaging the heads when cleaning. A quick rinse under the tap is recommended to clean the shaver after each daily use. Included is a quick cleaning pod to more thoroughly clean and lubricate the shaving heads with their cleaning solution refills. Simply position the shaver into the recessed area of the pod and turn it on. The shaver runs through a cleaning cycle automatically, which takes about a minute.The S9000 Prestige comes with an attractive well-made protective case that holds the razor, trimmer, cord and a small cleaning bristle brush. Just so I don’t lose it, I store the instruction booklet in one of the mesh pockets. It’s reassuring to know that you can lock the power button while traveling so that you don’t arrive at your destination with a dead battery from accidentally powering it on.No doubt the Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige shaver is expensive, but I’ve learned from experience that quality comes at a price. I used to hate shaving, but now I actually look forward to it.
This is a pretty good shaver.I normally don't leave reviews, but I have had a hard time finding a good, long-lasting shaver at a reasonable price and this is the closest I have found, although I still think it's overpriced.I've used this shaver for several months now and have had a mostly positive overall experience. It did take a little getting used to the close shave, but that passes, and it's a positive for me and one of the main reasons why I purchased it. It doesn't tug hairs and is a consistently close, comfortable, fast, and clean shave. However, I still do occasionally get razor burn irritation around the corner of my mouth and upper and lower lip and that is annoying.I REALLY dislike the very slow wireless charging, and the super large wireless ... MoreThis is a pretty good shaver.I normally don't leave reviews, but I have had a hard time finding a good, long-lasting shaver at a reasonable price and this is the closest I have found, although I still think it's overpriced.I've used this shaver for several months now and have had a mostly positive overall experience.

However, I still do occasionally get razor burn irritation around the corner of my mouth and upper and lower lip and that is annoying.I REALLY dislike the very slow wireless charging, and the super large wireless charging pad with a nondetachable cord that doesn't fit into the travel case. It's gimmicky and unnecessary, and bulky and inconvenient for no reason and provides no real benefit. The price could easily have been significantly less with a corded charger with faster charging like another prior premium Philips shaver I had (for which Philips stopped selling the shaver heads and that was really frustrating, but that's a separate issue), and this would be a solid 5-star product. Because of this issue, I almost considered a 3-star rating (since charging is central to the shaver's use) - but it does it's main job of shaving consistently well.I haven't used the attachment so I have no comment there, and I manually wash the shaver since I don't want to have to keep buying the cleaning solution so no comment there either.
I’ve been using this high end rotary shaver for about 10 days now and after a brief adjustment period I’ve found that it provides a very close and comfortable shave. The design is attractive, and the dock used for self-cleaning provides a handy place to stand the unit between shaves. There are definitely pros and cons to the relatively large three-element shaving head vs. smaller foil based systems. On the one hand, the three heads pivot easily to conform very well to my neck and face and the system makes it easy to cover larger areas and get great results. However, this larger size can also make it a little more challenging to shave smaller areas like between the nose and upper lip. Overall, I’m adjusting fine and I think the system works well.The percent of ... MoreI’ve been using this high end rotary shaver for about 10 days now and after a brief adjustment period I’ve found that it provides a very close and comfortable shave.

However, this larger size can also make it a little more challenging to shave smaller areas like between the nose and upper lip. Overall, I’m adjusting fine and I think the system works well.The percent of battery life is clearly displayed on the handle and based on my usage so far, I’d expect about 3 weeks of use before it needs charging. The supplied cleaning stand does NOT charge the shaver – you need to plug it in separately.The shaver comes with a stand which can accept cartridges with cleaning solution and when you “dock” the shave in this stand, a single press of the power button will start a self clean cycle lasting about a minute. After 10 days of using only the self-cleaning system after shaving, I opened the heads to find them spotless, so the system works well, but be aware you will need to buy replacement cleaning cartridges once every month or two. Fortunately they’re less than $5 each.For me, the main negatives with this unit are related to design and form factor. First, in order to use the trimmer you need to detach the shaver head and attach the trimmer, then remove it again when done. It works fine, but it much less convenient that the pop-up trimmers on some units. Second, the size of the shaving head and need for a separate trimmer attachment mean that the travel case for this shaver is relatively large, which is not ideal for travelling light. You may also need to pack the charger (which doesn’t go in the travel case) if your trip will be more than 2 weeks long.If these drawbacks don’t bother you, this could be a good fit as it does manage to delivery very good shaving performance in an attractive package.Pros:- Excellent smooth and comfortable shave- Relatively large shaving head does a great job covering large areas like face and neck- Reasonable battery life (~ 2-3 weeks)- Attractive design- Self-cleaning system works well, but it’s also easy to rinse and clean if you preferCons:- That large shaver head can make tighter spots like mustache area more challenging- Using the trimmer requires removing the shaver head and using a separate attachment- The large shaver head and separate trimmer mean that the travel case is relatively large- Charging requires plugging in the shaver – the self cleaning base unit does not charge the battery. On the plus side, this may yield better battery longevity since the battery isn’t always sitting at 100%.
The first thing you should notice about the Norelco 9000 rotary shaver when you unbox it is the beautiful design. This might sound strange since I’m writing about a shaver, but it’s very nice looking! Inside the box, you’ll find the shaver, a fairly large travel case, a Quick-Clean Pod with fluid cartridge, a corded charger, a small cleaning brush and the user manual. It takes about an hour to charge fully and should last 60 minutes. A quick charge of just 5 minutes should be enough energy for 1 use. The included travel case is nice, a bit on the large side, large enough to hold the shaver, charging cable and the click on precision trimmer attachment.The 9000 is fairly lightweight and very comfortable to hold.

The included travel case is nice, a bit on the large side, large enough to hold the shaver, charging cable and the click on precision trimmer attachment.The 9000 is fairly lightweight and very comfortable to hold. The notched rubber part on the back is shaped so your finger can fit right in and grip it comfortably. The fit and finish on this razor is incredible. The sound this shaver makes sounds high tech and very quiet. When I compared the S9000 to the Norelco 7000 series shaver, the S9000 sounds much nicer, more quiet, a smoother and almost high tech sound. The 7000, while not a bad shaver at all, sounds less refined and louder.I use the shaver dry, you can use this in the shower with gels and shaving cream if you wish. The shave is as close as any other electric shaver I’ve used. The 3 heads pivot individually to contour to your face. I found the pivoting heads to work very well, it shaved off all my stubbles very quickly and with minimal effort. With my foil shaver, I have to go over a few times and look closely in a well-lit area to make sure I got all my stubbles. Once done, simply press the release button in front of the rotary shaver to pop open the top and rinse off with water (after each use).With this trimmer, there is no pop up trimmer on the back, which I find very convenient and use all the time. Instead, you have to take off the rotary heads by pulling straight up (I was uncomfortable the first time I did this, I was worried I would break it) and replacing it with the trimming attachment. I couldn’t help noticing that this trimming attachment didn’t do as good a job on my sideburns as my current foil shaver did. I think it’s because of the size of the “teeth”, the teeth and the gaps in between on the Norelco is wider than my current foil shaver. It seems the sacrificed convenience over form factor when designing this shaver. With the notch on the back where your finger comfortably sits, that is where most shavers would have the hair trimmer built in instead of having to swap out the unit.This shaver also takes less time, probably due to the 3 heads covers more surface area. After using the Norelco for several days, I gotten used to the Norelco. It does the job quickly, the shaver itself is more quiet than my foil shaver. I don’t find the app that useful, not sure what shave history does for me. It seems like every device has an app these days, whether it needs it or not.Also included with this shaver is the quick clean pod. Once you do it once and understand how it works, it’s quite convenient to use. In a nutshell, you open the liquid and place the entire container into the pod container. There’s a little ring you snap to give you a carrying handle to lift into and out of the cleaning pod. Then place cleaning pod lid back on and place shaver in and press the start button. The shaver will know to go into clean mode, in 1 minute, it will be done. Depending how often you use the cleaning solution, you might have to replace it after a month (daily use) or 3 months (weekly use) - $12 for 2 pods.The Norelco S9000 is a beautiful device, it’s for the person who appreciates design and form factor, not so much for someone that is on a budget or demands practicality. Know what you are getting, there are rotary shavers that are less expensive that does a similar job. Much like a luxury car vs. budget car, they both get you to the same place, but which would you rather drive?
The closest shaves that I have ever had were ones given by professional barbers after a haircut. In our post pandemic world, however, I'm unable to find them anymore and, even if I still could find one, it would never be an every day occurrence. Otherwise, whether for home or travel, the S9000 Prestige gives the best shave that I have ever given myself, and easily tops razor shaves. For real. As a bonus, it's very easy to care for. Because my skin is sensitive, I need to use shaving cream. The S9000 has no problem working with it. My recommendation is to pay the higher cost to get the most and best blades. Thus, my strong recommendation is to purchase the S9000 Prestige SP9841/84 rather than any lower priced product in the line.
I have been using Philips Philishave electric face shavers for some 10 years now and always love the new technology and design and the latest generation of heads really does shave my 5-7 day face hair so soooo well.....i really enjoy using the products!So much so that i just bought a 2nd 9000 series prestige because i wanted the cleaning pod as well.So i use the new one for my face and my 2 year old series 9000 prestige for my body (arms and legs).Cleaning pod is awesome....i just open it when im done to get most of the hair out and then i put it in the pod which cleans it in like 45 seconds...then leave it for a day to air out.Only 2 things i wish Phillips would do is (1) surely they can make a battery that lasts 90 minutes rather than 60 which has been the ... MoreI have been using Philips Philishave electric face shavers for some 10 years now and always love the new technology and design and the latest generation of heads really does shave my 5-7 day face hair so soooo well.....i really enjoy using the products!So much so that i just bought a 2nd 9000 series prestige because i wanted the cleaning pod as well.So i use the new one for my face and my 2 year old series 9000 prestige for my body (arms and legs).Cleaning pod is awesome....i just open it when im done to get most of the hair out and then i put it in the pod which cleans it in like 45 seconds...then leave it for a day to air out.Only 2 things i wish Phillips would do is (1) surely they can make a battery that lasts 90 minutes rather than 60 which has been the same capacity for last 10 years! I mean come on get with the lithium battery times phillips this is a $500+ item !Lastly the heads need to be re-developed a touch so the blades are much closer to the edge of the head edge so you can get under the nose more.All in all i will always buy these items.....and shaver shop is awesome as you can walk in and walk out with EVERYTHING you need!I bought the shaver another 3 pack of cleaning solution and a spare pack of shaver blade heads as i like to have a spare at all times.
