Review on Philips SatinShave Prestige BRL170/50: πŸͺ’ Cordless Hair Removal and Trimming for Women by Michelle Larson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Same or better results than a manual razor

I am ashamed of the negative reviews because this electric razor gave me the same results as my blade. I have thick dark hair against a light skin background so I can clearly see and feel the result. I have used this on my legs and armpits and have tried the bikini trimmer with great results. Cleaning is easy but needs to be done under running water as hair tends to stick to the plastic. I separate everything and use the little brush that comes with the kit to brush out the hair and it does a pretty decent job. the blade on my skin and it's a hassle to prepare everything I need for a shave. To use a razor blade I first need to be near a water source to rinse the blade and I also need soap. Then after shaving I have to wash my hair and soap in the shower. I also don't like shaving in the shower because it can be difficult to see the progress with water everywhere (plus it was a waste of water). This electric razor has really eliminated all that because I can use it dry. Actually I tried it underwater and it's not good for me because the water causes too much friction even with soap. Of course I had to run to the same spots multiple times, but it really wasn't a big deal as I can start the electric shaver as fast as I want and get the job done in no time. I was really impressed with how smooth my armpits were compared to the results I got with a razor blade. When using a razor I still had to shave my legs at least twice to make sure I got it all and the armpit was very difficult especially when trying to shave my right armpit with my left hand as a right hander. . It was impossible to reach certain areas, but I couldn't press the razor too hard or run over the same area too many times or risk razor burn. It was a pleasure to use the bikini trimmer. For the most part I moved the blade in the direction of hair growth and didn't feel any tugging, but if you do experience tugging with it I guess it will happen with any clipper because it looks like regular clippers to me. The trimmer comb was safer to use and I was able to trim my bikini area very quickly. I found the Efficient Shave Head didn't help me much, it just got in the way of a close shave under my armpits, so I don't use it. I only backcomb the skin when I shave under my armpits. I am very satisfied with the Philips electric shaver. This is the best alternative to a manual razor and I will never use razor blades again.
