Philips Compact Shaver 700 S791/06

The videos look very promising, but the reality is poor; there is absolutely no power, and the touch on/off button doesn't work at all.

I purchased this shaver because I am often on the road for work. In the morning rush, I sometimes forget to shave, so having this Philips in my bag seemed ideal. And after a few weeks of use, I am very satisfied with it. The device is very small but still easy to hold, has a luxurious look, and comes with a nice case and a few accessories.

The shaving result is fine. It shaves quickly and smoothly, and it also shaves away a few days' worth of stubble perfectly. Not as powerful as a large shaver, but that is not why you buy a compact shaver.

The protective cap clicks magnetically onto the device, which is very handy. When shaving, you can click it onto the bottom. The shaving head can be swapped with the included nose trimmer, which is very nice. I really think this is a very handy device for the work bag or for holidays.

There are also a few downsides;

• Charging is not possible via USB-C, but requires a Philips plug. That is very inconvenient because you then have to put an extra cable in your bag.

• The accessories do not fit in the included case, so they lie loose in your bag.

• Price.

I am very pleased with the shaver. The ease of use and battery life, in particular, are excellent for such a small device. When I compare it to my Philips Headshaver, it doesn't fall far short. Ideal for traveling.

I did have to swallow hard at the price, though; compared to my Philips Headshaver, this one is quite a bit more expensive. All in all, I am satisfied, and it looks nice too.
