Power Adapt Sensor

Adapts to beard density for easier shaving

This intelligent sensor reads hair density 250 times per second and automatically adapts power as you shave. It helps the shaver respond efficiently to thicker or denser areas, so you get a smooth, effortless shave with consistent comfort.

Follows facial contours for better skin contact.

Fully flexible heads turn 360° to stay in close contact with the curves of your face and head. This helps deliver a thorough shave with added comfort, even in tricky areas such as the neck and jawline.

Reformed Philips Shaver Owner -

My previous Philips shaver was brilliant for many years until my son lost the charging cable and I just went and bought a shaver from an alternate brand! What a mistake - poor shave, the clipper part fell off when I hadn't owned it for long. And the shave got worse in no time at all. I have to assume the blades got blunt or something. So time it was to buy another shaver and given my prior experience there was no question it would be another Philips. And not disappointed at all - completely the opposite. Great shave and close, definitely speeding up my morning routine. No fun shaving with a blunt shaver I can tell you!
