Description

Thanks to its small size, you can easily shave anywhere with the Philips Compact Shaver 500 S591/05. You can safely take the electric shaver with you in your bag in the travel pouch. This way, you can also use it on the go or while traveling. The 2 flexible shaver heads follow the contours of your face. This means they stay in good contact with your skin, so you can shave comfortably smooth. On a full battery, you can shave cordlessly for 40 minutes. Is the battery empty? With the fast charge function, you'll quickly have enough battery for your next shave. Because the electric shaver is waterproof, you can easily rinse it clean under the faucet after use.

handy size result not great

compact
handy to use
shaving result not good

The shaver is compact and fits comfortably in the hand, making it pleasant to use.

Charging is quite fast and cleaning is easy. All good, nothing really to complain about.

But! (there is that but) A shaver is for shaving, and I feel that some things have been overlooked in that regard.

I find that you have to shave over the same area quite a lot to get a somewhat smooth result. Why is that? I think this is because it seems to have a somewhat lifeless motor inside. It is reasonably quiet, so that doesn't help the feeling either. Ultimately, it does what it is supposed to do, but for this price, I do expect a bit more.

Nice, but shaving leaves something to be desired.

format
doesn't shave great

I'll start with the positive side.

It is a nice, handy-sized shaver. It works simply, no fuss. Charging is fast, and the cap is magnetic so you won't lose it easily. It comes with a sort of case, the added value of which I don't really see; it's probably for protection. It works in any case if you put the shaver in upside down.

Cleaning is also a breeze.

So much for the positive, now for the downsides, and that which is what it's all about.

It is not a powerful shaver. I don't expect a super-smooth result like with a traditional blade with foam or gel. And it doesn't get that either. I find the shaving feels a bit weak; I often have to go over the same spots to get a reasonably good result.

So, more time-consuming. A pity.

It is nice and quiet, though; that is a plus for a 'lifeless' motor.

Easy to use
Quite pricey

I am pleased with this device. It is very easy to use. It fits comfortably in the hand and the result is good. It is not of super quality in terms of materials, and therefore not 5 stars.
