Philips Shaver Series 7000 Wet & Dry Rotary Shaver with SkinIQ, Pop-up Trimmer, Charging Stand and Pouch (S7887/35)

Our Verdict

Rotary shavers use three round heads that you move in small circles, and they tend to cope better than foil shavers with two or three days’ growth and with hair that lies flat on the neck. The Series 7000 S7887 has 45 self-sharpening SteelPrecision blades cutting 90,000 times a minute, heads that flex 360 degrees, a micro-bead coating to cut friction and Philips’ SkinIQ technology. It is fully waterproof, a one-hour charge gives up to 50 minutes, and a five-minute quick charge covers one shave. Philips rates the blades for two years, after which SH71 replacement heads fit the Series 7000. The box lists a charging stand and a USB-A charging cable but no plug, so any USB-A phone charger will do and there is no 2-pin plug to worry about. The RRP shown on the listing sits far above what it normally sells for, so judge a deal against recent prices rather than the RRP.
