Thanks for taking your time to read our review of the popular Philips Series 9000 Wet & Dry Men's Electric Shaver with the model number S9211/26.
This is a waterproof wet/dry electric shaver that has a precision trimmer, a smart cleaning system and comes with a charger and a UK 2 pin plug.
This is a shaver that uses a rotary system. Part of that system is 3 rotary shaving heads that also move and flex to make sure all the contours of your face and neck are equally covered.
This shaver should be moved in small circular motions. Those motions will then capture those hairs that grow in different directions, even in hard to reach places, for the very best shaving results.
The flexible heads adapt really well to the many facial contours we have. The end result is that you can end up with a clean, comfortable and close shave.
