I Wear yes for some years a uncommonly fine clothing and hairstyle: The Bald. This has the advantage that you have ran only fast after showering with the towel, you need no lotion, no hair dryer and no hairdresser. Easy fix shave over it and finished the arbor! Now I'm doing the very classic wet, so with foam and blade, I use System shaver Mornin 'Glory.
But now one hears so often how great it will be electric shaver, which can be used both dry and wet. Full fix it is to go fast in the shower the thing slid down his face and ready. And I tried, however, not only the face but also on the head. So I wrote some famous companies in producing electric shaver and explained my plan. Likewise, I immediately wrote to the must do the shaving bald a potential tester.
One of the companies contacted turned stupid. I was asked for a media kit. And I had everything included in the request and it I referred. Next, they wanted to know attendance. The I had just delivered and also pointed out. Then came no more reaction. All right? All right!
however, At Philips we was very relaxed and felt a device in the portfolio to have that exactly meets the requirements and can lift the Bald next to the face. And this unit turned to me now kindly directly available for testing.
Delivered I became the current top model, the S9711 / 31st The device comes in thick package therefore, in the self nor a cleaning station incl. Cleaning solution, a cutting head, a shaving head solver and a fine storage for the razor was next to the razor. The trimmer head has a length adjustment with this, so that it can be used basically even for simple hairstyles.
The first shave
In the first experiment the S9711 had the same right to do, because I had not shaved for 4 days and that means the beard and hair were about 3mm long. The first attempt was allowed to trim the top handle, the very confidently completed the. The "normal" shaving head had then already clearly do more. On delivery, he was placed here on the second of three levels of intensity and because it was the first dry shave, my beard resisted course accordingly.
Overall, I found the dry shaving is not my thing anyway. But this is not a problem because the S9711 can be used wet indeed. So I helped shortly after shaves and he was allowed to continue to run riot. At this point of course I have to mention one thing: To change from blade to electric shavers, should give Bart and skin three weeks time until everything really produce the desired result. However, the result of the first shave was much better than expected.
The S9711 feels really great way and is really well balanced in the hand. It does not matter how you hold it around. Here Philips has therefore really done a great job. Under the chin, the front of the face, top of the head, back of the neck - no matter where and how to hold the S9711, it feels great and is always stable and comfortable to carry in hand.
Daily use
From then on I used the S9711 day right under the shower, where I once shaving cream and times simply used only shampoo. With both he came clear and awarded by the day, the result was better. Where still necessary to distinguish between face and scalp here. The Beard himself had the S9711 already from the third day wonderfully under control. Short little shower on it and presto everything was properly shaved finely smooth. Even the edge of Goaties attended properly trimmed neatly.
It is more difficult had the S9711 case on the head. The scalp is so much thinner than facial skin and on top of that has significantly less fat and muscle tissue between it and the skull bone, which really is a challenge for the shaving head. Here to maintain the contours and really shave clean is hard work.
But this challenge was eventually overcome with good results. Although the Kpf was never really "like a baby's bottom smooth" , as it creates a blade, but "visually clean shaven ' 's basically a satisfactory result. And I guess that can be achieved after three or four weeks an even better result.
But there is one very significant drawback: The Time.
With the blade, it is a matter of two to three minutes and the entire head is shaved. With the electric shaver it takes about three to five times as much time to really everything is done. If you already very long in the shower, then this may not be a problem, but I found the well, for one disturbing.
cleaning
Such a device will also be cleaned. During shaving announces the S9711, if too much cut hair hanging in the shaving head. Here a small tap symbol appears on the display. Then, just to keep the shaver under the faucet and finished the arbor is sufficient. After use, it suffices him neatly flush, which you can also easily open the shaving head and rinse.
In charge cycle can and should take place a thorough cleaning using the cleaning system. One can the S9711 even connect directly to charging cable, but in the purification system to Beat quasi two birds with one stone. The "Smart Clean" system is thereby provided with a cartridge containing a cleaning solution. Substituting the S9711 in this system, first a 15-minute cleaning of the shaving head, followed by a 4-hour drying. In parallel, the S9711 will be completely charged.
Every now and then the shaving head needs to be cleaned a bit more thoroughly. For this case, or if even a little more stubborn beard hair is pinched, you can easily disassemble the shaving head. Clicking the three blade modules are removed and when using the supplied tool, then you can disassemble the shaving head so far that are the blade free. It will decompose both composed easy.
Conclusion
First, I can a very clearly state: The Philips S9711 / 31 is quite to shave his head in the location next to the beard. Especially for use with shower or shaving, so as razors, it is very pleasant to use. Unfortunately, and this makes him for me not for permanent option, you have more time for shaving schedule when you need them with the blade.
Who just shaved the beard, is this unit have a lot of fun, because if the skin is once set to the electric shaving, the beard is shaved dry completely fix. The three levels of intensity allow it, even really good adapt Shave own Bedüfnisse.
The Philips S9711 / 31 is great in your hand and even if it "upside down, rotated, with the left and behind the head" used to lose at no time control and management. And so I can say with a confident uneingschränkte recommendation for this device. Were it not for the matter of the time, just because a razor must shave the entire head with me, I would want to take anything else.
