Phillips artic shaver

The charger wire was hard not rubbery so it has now cracked all over the wire all brittle, need to get a new charger cable, other wise the machine has worked well over 6 years

Pros

Very reliable still working after a long time, better than the blade as the machine does not cut uoi

Cons

The cleaning of the head leaves the London water marks on the blade casing

Love it. Own two & alternate use.

I have a light beard and sensitive facial skin. This razor provides me a close shave without irritating my skin.
