0 comments

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 SP9863/14.

A Little About the Philips Brand

The Philips Brand

This is a long established household brand and started way back in 1891. The company was founded by Gerard Philips and his father Frederik Philips in Eindhoven (Netherlands). In 1939 the company launched its pioneering rotary electric shaver, the Philishave.

Philips has remained fully committed to innovation. It has a focus on health and well-being. It currently has several ranges of electric shavers that include the 5000, 6000, 7000 and 9000 Series of electric shavers.

Our Verdict on the Philips SP9863/14

This razor is part of the Philips 9000 series, and the 9000 is their latest and most up to date range of electric shavers. That means you should have the latest technology available in this particular range.

The blades on this are very sharp with long lasting edges

The rings have a coating which helps make the blade contact very smooth.

You can wirelessly charge your shaver

This one works very fast on even thicker stubble and it is very fast.

This is a very good shaver. However if this is not the one for you, then you can check out all of the Philip's options by clicking here. This one though has a really nice wide range of features and buyers like the choice of settings.

There is also a nice range of attachments where you can turn your shaver into a beard styler, a precision trimmer or a cleansing brush with the SmartClick attachment system.
