Philips SatinShave Essential UK Review

0 comments

Thanks for taking the time to read our UK review of one of the best selling lady's shavers called the Philips SatinShave Essential.

This shaver came out at number three on our list of the top 10 electric shavers for women, that are currently available in the UK.

This model from Philips Sells well and has a high buyer satisfaction rating of 85%, which is one of the highest rated on the UK market.

Please be aware that this is a battery shaver so you will need to buy and replace batteries during the lifetime of this shaver. It uses 2 x AA batteries.

This is not a shaver that comes with a charging stand where you can recharge the batteries. This shaver can be used either for dry or for wet shaving, so suitable for use in either the shower or the bath.

The Philips SatinShave has a small shaving head and a slim, portable design which does mean it is very compact, and an ideal choice for travelling. It comes with trimming comb attachment for the delicate areas.

This shaver can of course be used wet or dry and that means it can be used in the shower. It also has an anti-slip grip so as it will not drop out of your hand even with wet hands.

This shaver can be used to shave the whole body. The trimming comb attachment is designed to help you trim the delicate areas. When doing the bikini line or the legs, it is best to stretch the skin and then use the shaver at 90 degrees, against the direction of hair growth.

For under the arms, put one arm behind your head and move this Philip's shaver slowly over the skin. 

As we have mentioned this shaver is the third highest selling shaver on our top 10 list of electric shavers. We know from the large number of reviews that it sells a lot, and overall with an 90% buyer satisfaction, most buyers clearly like it.
