A great modern shaver in a useful bundle!
I used foil electric shavers in the past like Braun/Remington, but over the past decade it's really been all about actual manual shaving with razors. Now, over the past few years with the pandemic and WFH, I must say that I've been a bit lazy... So now I'm living with permanent stubble and shaving once every 2 weeks or so! I hope I'm not the only one that's fallen into that trap! Now that I'll probably be heading to the office (or just want to not feel like a bum!) from time to time, I wanted to try a different shaving solution. Intro and setup ================= The Philips S9000 Prestige is a thing to behold. It fits perfectly in your hand and is a good combination of grippy rubber and silvery/chrome surfaces. It's got a nice display on it that shows charge level, travel lock, and other information (I had to charge it before using - it was at 10%) and of course, that floating head with 3 circular razors. I knew I needed wet/dry shaver so I could not only use it in the shower, but easily clean it. If it's not easy to clean, I'm not going to do want to regularly use it. The Philips S9000 Prestige comes with an additional cleaning pod that help you keep the blades even cleaner than just rinsing with water. The last things that come in the box are a very nice carrying case to put everything away, a precision trimmer, cleaning brush, Quick Clean Pod and charger. Shaving performance ====================== I had to delay testing for a few days because (as mentioned before) I was on a 2-week beard and I believe this model is best with a 7-day or less beard. I shaved and decided to test it about 4 days later. It charged quickly using the included charger and I looked forward to testing it. As mentioned before, it really fits well in the hand and as I turned it on and started shaving, I was impressed with the smoothness and closeness! It's almost like it was a beard eraser! There are multiple speeds and medium worked well for me and was perfectly comfortable with no tugging. In terms of closeness, I'd say it was just barely, imperceptibly less close than my razor blade. Initially I was concerned that this larger head wouldn't be able to fit and properly trim under my nose, but it actually fit easily! Note - I shave with just water, I don't use shaving cream. Cleaning ================= It couldn't be easier to clean. Flip the top, and run water over it until clean. I think leaving this face-down in a tall cup is a good way to allow it completely dry, but you could surely just leave it open on a towel on your counter. For this model, Philips includes a new Quick Clean Pod that claims to clean 10x better than just water. You put a new cartridge into the Quick Clean Pod, place your shaver in there face-down (see pic) and switch on the shaver. In about a minute, it's clean! I can't say how much cleaner it is compared to water, but over the long-term I'd think it would be a good maintenance step. Overall and Misc. ======================== Wow. Shaving technology has come a LONG way since the last time I've used an electric shaver! If you're looking for a wet/dry shaver that can handle a < 7 day beard, this is a great choice! If you travel, the Travel Lock feature and case make this a great choice. Shaving performance is great! Some may say razors and foil shavers are just a bit closer, but I'd say this is good for 99.9% of people. I know some models come with a Qi charging pad, but as convenient as that is, it's less efficient (charges slower) and takes up counter space. Since this has plenty of battery power, you can charge it, use it, clean it, then leave it in a drawer until it's time to charge it again. The shaver has a nice lift-to-wake feature that lights up the display when you pick it up so you can quickly check the battery level! So yes, using a plug-in adapter to charge it may seem a bit inconvenient, but I can manage charging this thing once every two weeks. Travel lock - this is an awesome feature if you travel! Just hold down the power button for 3 seconds (the display shows a countdown) and now the "lock" icon will show up on the screen. To unlock it, just hold the button down again for 3 seconds. Precision trimmer - the existence of this is nice, but I do wish it was integrated like some other models. For this one, you have to pop off the shaver heads and pop this one on. It does a decent job with sideburns or anything else you need to quickly trim. Quick Clean Pod - I don't like having an extra cost associated with keeping up with replacement cleaning cartridges so this may be a "nice to have" but wouldn't be a reason to choose this shaver.

The new generation of shavers
I had the opportunity to try out the Philips Norelco Shaver 9000 Prestige and I have to say, it's truly a remarkable electric shaver. This rechargeable wet or dry shaver is perfect for anyone who wants a close, comfortable shave without compromising on skin comfort. The shaver's NanoTech precision blades are super strong and incredibly precise. They're even strengthened with nano particles, which means they can cut hair with incredible precision for the closest results. I was particularly impressed with the shaver's excellent skin comfort system, which made shaving a breeze even on a longer, seven-day beard. I also noticed that the new wider, rounder openings caught more hair per pass, which definitely made a difference. One of the coolest features of the Philips Norelco Shaver 9000 Prestige is the BeardAdapt Sensor. This sensor checks hair density 15 times per second and automatically adapts the shaver to your hair. Plus, with three customizable modes to choose from (Sensitive, Normal, and Fast), you can easily customize your shave for the best possible results. The shaver is also really versatile, offering both wet and dry options, and comes with a skin-friendly precision trimmer that's perfect for maintaining your mustache and sideburns. Plus, the included premium travel case is a great bonus - it's the perfect way to protect your shaver and all its accessories when you're on the go. The shaver's Lithium-ion battery is also incredibly powerful and long-lasting, which means you can get up to 60 minutes of shaving time on just one hour of charging. However, it's worth noting that the shaver only operates in cordless mode. And while the replacement heads do need to be replaced every 12 months, the SH98/82 or SH91/52 replacement heads are easy to find and sold separately. Overall, I would highly recommend the Philips Norelco Shaver 9000 Prestige to anyone in search of a high-quality, customizable shaving solution that delivers a close, comfortable shave.

Pretty close to perfect!
THE BREAKDOWN: The Philips Norelco 9000 Prestige Series Shaver (SP9841/84) is a rechargeable wet/dry shaver with included beard trimmer attachment. The trimmer also comes with a premium carrying case and cleaning brush. This shaver delivers a decently smooth shave and I have to admit with less skin irritation than my other electric shaver. The shaver came packaged in retail packaging. It was very well put together. Inside the box was the Shaver, a premium case/pouch, power/charging cord, small cleaning brush and cleaning pod cartridge. The shaver battery was almost completed depleted when it arrived. I fully charged the battery before first use. You can also charge the battery for one hour and it gives about 60 minutes of shaves and depending on the time you take to shave. This shaver has ultraflex suspension system that does a good job of keeping contact with your skin. The heads are also surrounded by hydro skinglide coating for minimum friction and maximum comfort. I found them to work very well. They also claim that they have 150,000 cutting actions per minute and that it also has 72 self-sharpening blades. For the week that I have used this I cannot really tell if they do self-sharpen. I used the shaver in both wet and dry conditions, and both seemed to work well. I did not notice any difference in either condition. The trimmer did not work as well as advertised, I felt as if it just pulled my hair. The shaver came with a cleaning base that cleans and lubricates in just a minute. I felt that this feature worked well and for me the only drawback is that you have to keep buying the pods to clean your shaver. The LED display on the shaver itself was great and intuitive. I normally shave about every 3 to 4 days and my beard grows pretty fast and this would do a great job and did zero pulling. The shaver is very quiet to previous shavers that I have owned. You can still have a conversation while using it. PRO’s: -Shower Proof -Lithium-Ion battery -Super quiet -Great display -Wet or Dry shave CON’s: -Replace the pod cleaning solution -The trimmer attachment doesn’t work well SUMMARY: Overall, this product worked well and as intended, and I would recommend this to a friend if they were in the market for device like this.

A shaver to make quick work of your short hairs.
***TLDR:*** This is a quality investment if you want a fast, pain free shave across the contours of your neck and face. ***BUILD QUALITY:*** The shaver is built from a mixture of plastic, rubber and steel and feels nice to hold. I won't be drop testing it, but I think you could still have a functional item even after an accident. ***COMFORT:*** Shaving with the unit is smooth and pain free, given your skin is relatively free of goose-bumps. Being that you get a very close shave, it could definitely give you a "burn". ***SPEED:*** This S9000 makes short work of short hair. It's faster than a razer and just as close. The motor can also be adjusted to fit your preference. Keep in mind I used it with a light amount of basic (Barbasol) shaving cream. ***BATTERY/CHARGING:*** Battery charging is fast and life is long lasting. A full shave only took the unit down from 100 to 94. Charging the unit is relatively pain free if you use the cleaning pod to hold the shaver, though attaching the cord (from a 15V, two prong charger) took considerable pressure. I would prefer something USB C, but most things like this have an old-school charger. ***CLEANING:*** CLEANING the unit is simple. I rinse it and shake it, then use the cleaning pod to get it even better, letting it sit to dry off. For a deeper clean, the shaving head can be easily fully disassembled. ***STORAGE:*** The shaver doesn't fit very well in the carrying case with the shaving head attached. This isn't really a problem for me, as I won't be traveling with it. For me, the carry case holds the trimmer attachment, cleaning brush, and manual, as the procedures (read: learning curve) are kind of substantial. For my use, sitting it in the cleaning pod - up and away from where my son can get it - is good enough. ***DISPLAY:*** The display tells you multiple useful things in a clear and bright manner. It's a great addition for feedback on mode and charge state. ***OVERALL:*** A larger, better-fitting carrying case and USB C charging would make this a knockout, stand-out device. For my needs, these are only minor nitpicks, however, so I give it full marks.

Pretty darn good even for the higher price!
I’ll admit that I’ve been pretty old school regarding shaving over the years. I usually buy the bulk pack of disposable razors from the big box store and have done ok with that. But recent medical events have caused me to have to be on a blood thinner, and those shaving nicks and cuts can bleed quite a bit more once you’re on those. I wanted to switch to an electric razor, but past experiences weren’t very good for a variety of reasons. Enter the Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige. Now, this is not an inexpensive rechargeable razor. It’s at or just under $200 depending on sales. So I expected the world from it for the price, to be honest. For the most part, it’s delivering. This particular model has three large shaving heads with “NanoTech” blades and “Nano Particles” (short – very small, very sharp blades), and skin protection rings around each of the three sets. In the past, other models pulled at my beard and the experience wasn’t comfortable, but these do a much better job. You can use them dry, or with shaving creams, and even use it in the shower as it’s waterproof (I still avoid direct water flow with any device that uses batteries, though – that’s just my own quirk). In my set, it came with the shaver of course, a proprietary charger (boo – would have preferred USB-C), a trimmer head that can be used for precise trimming of sideburns, etc., a nice hard case, cleaning brush, and a head cleaning stand with cleaning solution. Everything needed to start using and to maintain the shaver. On a full charge that takes a couple of hours, you get about a full hour of continuous runtime, which equals quite a few shaves. A large digital read out on the front lets you know the exact percentage of battery power you have left. It’s easy to hold and has a good grip. The razor has sensors that continuously monitor the thickness of what it’s shaving and adapts to it as you shave, and it seems to work, but using a plus/minus bar lets you adjust the speed as well. It’s also very quiet, too. The shaving head pops off easily so you can rinse off the blades to keep them clean. My own beard hair is fairly standard and I sometimes go 2-3 days without shaving, but it handled mine just fine with proper maneuvering around my roundish face. Now, it takes time to get used to an electric/rechargeable razor over hand held old school ones, so your first few times might feel awkward, but give it time. The large heads can make it a little hard to get around chins if you have a smaller one, so it’s not perfect. However, I also allowed a friend to try it out and they have a shaved head – even with two weeks of stub on his head, he said this shaver did a super good job on it, and even shaving face and head together, only used about 6% of the charge. Using too much foam can gunk it up a little FYI, so go light. Is the Philips Norelco S9000 worth $200? That’s up to you to decide – I always wait for sales for something like this, but it is definitely a very nice shaver that I would recommend if it’s in your budget.

Smooth as a baby’s bottom, close-cut w/out nips
I asked my Husband, if he enjoyed his anniversary gift, as he had a huge smile. He was amazed of how smooth his face felt, while it cut half of his time in shaving. I was so happy getting this shaver that he deserves so much. His face is so smooth w/ out any cuts in the face or red marks around his neck .

Great Close Shave
The Norelco S9000 Prestige Electric Razor provides a close, comfortable shave with three settings to choose from for maximum shaving ability and comfort. However, the lack of trimmer embedded on the razor is one of the drawbacks of the S9000 Prestige. Pros - Comfortable Shave - Quick Charging - Easy clean Cons - Attachable Trimmer - Lack of Pressure Light Sensor The Norelco S9000 Prestige has three different settings for comfortable shaving. Out of the box, the shaver is set to the second bar on the razor. While testing the standard setting, I found that it was adequate; I tried this during a dry shave. I set the the razor on the third bar to see the difference, and although I felt that the shave was better (I felt that minimal stubble was left behind on the second setting) the third provided a smoother shave, but I felt some irritation (I do not have the best skin, which I will admit). The first bar setting did not shave as well, but I did not have any irritation. More so, anyone with sensitive or easily irritated skin, keep in mind that there are settings/adjustments you can make to find the most comfortable, accurate shave. I will admit, this was a great feature; I will continue to stick with the second bar setting while shaving. Out of the box, it took approximately fifteen minutes to charge. Though, while I used the razor for a couple of days and I maxed out the battery, it took approximately one hour to charge the razor. If anyone is in a hurry and forgot to charge their razor, note that the razor's charging ability is fast. Cleaning is easy and the razor reminds you after using it to place it on the stand (included) and clean it using the pod solution (included). It takes approximately one minute for the razor to clean itself. The solution smells great and I opened the razor to check how well it cleaned, and I can report that razor cleaning performed exceptionally. However, note that once your cleaning solution begins to get "full" of hairs after so many cleans, you will need to buy more solution pods. Though this could add up, it's not necessary to clean your razor. The razor is waterproof, so you can simply open the razor and run it under water to clean. Though the razor itself provides a comfortable, smooth shave. Where it lacks is the detached trimmer (included). Mind you, I had a three-day beard going and I wanted to trim it down before shaving. I popped off the shaving head and attached the trimmer. You can use the power settings I described previously for the trimmer settings. However, while I tried out the standard second bar setting, I found that it was pulling/tugging at the hairs on my face. Also, I changed the setting to the third bar setting (hoping it would improve the trimming function) and sadly, it did not perform as well either. Additionally, the trimmer is an attachment, whereas the previous 9000 model was built-in. For someone who places their razor on the cleaning pod and leaves it there until the next day to shave, there is no place to keep the trimmer when not in use. Granted, a travel case is included and you can keep it in there. But this becomes combersome when I need to quickly switch between shaving and trimming. Lastly, the previous 9000 Norelco Razor had built-in sensor lights. Meaning, when you shave the razor will light up in different colors (blue, green, and yellow). Blue being too light, green "just right" and yellow "too much pressure." This feature was not included in the S9000 Prestige, which I feel would benefit from that feature. As you watch yourself shaving in the mirror, having a light indicator guide you while shaving helps ensure you are shaving properly and comfortably. Overall, the Norelco Prestige S9000 provides the best shave; it's comfortable, smooth, and shaving settings allow the three-head flexible shaver to perform exceptionally on any skin sensitivity. However, it's downfall is the trimmer accessory where functionality and performance fell below expectations. I would recommend the Norelco Prestige S9000 to anyone who wants a great shave and can look past the trimming portion; it still performs but not as good as it has.

Top of the LINE!
The Norelco wet/dry shaver S9000 Prestige provides an extremely smooth shave and I also now have to admit much less skin irritation compared to my previous Braun shaver. I thought that I had owned top of the line shavers in the past but this unit is near perfection in every way as far as I am concerned. The unit came well packaged with thought given to reduce damage in shipping and was very nicely put together. Inside the box was the Shaver, a travel case, power/charging cord and a cleaning brush. The shaver battery was approxamitely 50 percent charged when it arrived. I reccomend fully charging the battery before first use. You can also charge the battery for one hour and it gives about 60 minutes of shaving depending on your circumstances. This shaver has very flexible heads that do a very good job of floating along your skin. The heads are surrounded by ComfortGlide rings. These rings have a protective coating to help reduce any possible skin irritation and I found them to work very well. They packet claims to have self-sharpening blades, which if true should cut down on replacement costs as they are never cheap. During the week that I have used this I cannot really tell if they do self-sharpen. I used the shaver in both wet and dry conditions and both seemed to work well. I did not notice any difference in either condition. The pop-up trimmer worked well trimming my sideburns. The shaver came with a cleaning base that cleans and lubricates in just a minute by simply inserting the shaver. I felt that this feature worked well and for me the only drawback is that you have to keep buying the pods to clean your shaver. Overall I am very pleased with this unit and would certainly reccomend.

This luxury shaver is an easy buy
The Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige is a truly fantastic electric shaver that I cannot recommend enough. It provides a close, quick shave that I can do inside the shower or out due to its showerproof nature. Previous electric shavers that I owned really didn’t provide a close enough shave for my tastes and often left me bleeding. I have quite sensitive skin so I tend to be pretty picky when it comes to shaving. With the S9000 I had a wonderful time. It only upset my skin once, but I realized that was my fault as I was shaving too long, and not doing the proper circular shaving technique. It’s elegantly designed to the point that I have no qualms leaving it out on the bathroom counter. Same with the quick clean pod which you simply set your shaver down on after shaving and it thoroughly cleans the head with minimal work from you. I don’t love that it's another replacement product that I have to buy, but it works so well that I am alright with it. Also, don’t clean it immediately before using as that cleaning fluid will drip down the front of you, always clean the head after. Overall this is one of the best shavers on the market and well worth the price. While I would love to have this shaver charge via USB-C along with the rest of my gadgets for easier travel, the included charger is quite compact and fits nicely in the beautiful travel case. If you’re looking for a top of the line shaver, look no further! Pros: A great, close shave Elegantly designed Long battery life Quick clean pod cleans shaver thoroughly Showerproof Wet/Dry shaving Cons: Would love USB-C charging for easier travel Have to swap heads for sideburns trimmer Quick clean pod is one more replacement product to buy
