How do you choose a Philips electric shaver?
Choose a Philips electric shaver
Philips has different series to make sure there's a suitable electric shaver for everyone. To choose the best Philips electric shaver for you, you'll have to ask yourself the following questions:
- What kind of beard growth do you have?
- Do you have a sensitive skin?
- Do you want to get feedback in the app?
- Which accessories do you need?
What type of beard growth do you have?
The 3000 series is suitable for light beard growth. This is the least powerful model by Philips. From the 5000 series, the electric shavers become more powerful. For example, they have more blades and perform more cutting actions per minute. This makes these models more suitable for heavier beard growth. In addition, these models automatically adjust the power for a fuller beard. Want an extra smooth shave? Go for a series 9000 model. These products have the sharpest blades.
Do you have sensitive skin?
From the 5000 series, the electric shavers have an automatic cutting power. They adjust the power to your beard type. That's great, because you can be sure that you're not straining your skin too much this way. Want extra protection? From the 7000 series, the electric shavers have a SkinGlide coating. There are rings with microbeads around the razors. This ensures that the electric shaver glides over your skin easily. In addition, some models include a cleaning station. This allows you to thoroughly clean your electric shaver. This reduces the risk of skin irritation and acne.
Do you want feedback in the app?
You can connect the 7000, 8000, and 9000 series to the GroomTribe app. In the app, you'll receive feedback that helps you improve your shaving technique. The app keeps track of every shave and gives you tips while shaving. You can also create a personal treatment plan in the app. With this plan, you can work towards a better shaving technique. This also prevents skin irritation due to shaving. You can't connect the 9000 Prestige series to the app.
Which accessories do you need?
Lastly, it's important to consider which accessories you want with your electric shaver. As we said before, some models include a cleaning station. In addition, all Philips electric shavers have a fold-out precision trimmer. This helps you trim your sideburns. Want to both shave and trim your beard? Go for a model with a beard trimmer attachment. If you travel a lot, an electric shaver with a travel case is useful.
