Philips Electric Shaver Comparison ► 3000 vs 5000 vs 7000 vs 9000 Prestige ✅ Reviews Made in Germany

[@anthonyxuereb792]

Some clarification needed here, the heads are not the blades, it does not have three blades but many more. The rotary cutters have multiple blades which rotate within the heads and are removable for cleaning and even sharpening. If you look closely through the mesh you can make out the blades. I am basing my comments on a Philips shaver I used many years ago but I don't believe the principle has changed that much. Feel free to remove my comments if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the comment! You are right! We are not too precise with our words here. 3 Blade or shaving compartements is propably closer to what we meant.

[@knoxduder]

I think everyone knew what they meant. The devil is in the details.

You're just basically paying for bells and whistles. I've owned top of the range shavers and cheaper ones and basically they all give the same results. I would recommend Panasonic for closeness though...( And even then just a budget one)..

[@wunschgetreu-reviewsmadein195]

Yeah I think thats more or less true. We had the impression that the series 7000 and 9000 performed a tiny bit better but most of the times you pay for bells and whistles. We have to check the panasonic shavers yet, heard quite a bit of good stuff about those.

[@YevhenPomiskiy]

what Panasonic model do you suggest ?

[@wunschgetreu-reviewsmadein195]

@@YevhenPomiskiy We didnt review any panasonic shavers yet. Heard good things about the arc 5 though.

They call the 9000 "the world's most intelligent shaver powered by AI" which is an intelligence-insulting joke. I bought a 5000X recently for $50 USD recently, and I find it rrrreally hard to believe that paying $210 USD more for a 9000 would have been worth it. The only things I dislike about the 5000X are that it lacks a battery percentage indicator, and it requires a proprietary charging cord, rather than using USB-C, as it obviously should. I'd also caution people to avoid buying shavers with rubberized handles, as they turn _invariably_ to sticky goo after a few years.

[@wunschgetreu-reviewsmadein195]

Well, I think that stuff like this is often the case. Marketing-related, exaggerated statements are meant to create a sense of technological advancement. In the end, it's just a shaver though! And if you look at the core performance (shaving), I can only agree with you. It's not THAT much better than the lower series. Whether it's worth it though... that's something everyone has to decide for themselves.

Which is best for sensitive skin?

[@wunschgetreu-reviewsmadein195]

They are all pretty decent. But the most comfortable where the series 7000/9000. Not THAT a big of a difference though!

[@CrysKontakt]

You mentioned that there are better razors out there. Can you please link those videos as well? And if possible in order from "worst" to best. I would really appreciate it.

[@wunschgetreu-reviewsmadein195]

Check out our Braun comparison! The Series 7 and 9 Pro provided better results in their core performance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGqxpKKAasmUgdU Or a OneBlade. The new 360 models are a bit more comfortable than the standard OneBlade models. Those provide really good shaving results as well. We are still in the process of doing our 360 review. That should be up on this channel not too long from now.

[@aaronmills4238]

You missed the Philips S8000

[@wunschgetreu-reviewsmadein195]

Yeah we skipped the S8 for Braun models as well. Havnt tested those yet but we will post them as soon as we´ve checked those out!

[@AmonnRa]

I bought Braun series 9 pro and it's trash, even Mach 3 gives a much closer shave, this product is not worth even 60 euros.

[@wunschgetreu-reviewsmadein195]

I kinda get where you are coming from. We havn´t found an electric razor yet that could really compete with a wet razor. There are some that do get pretty close though. I think the USP of these kind of appliances is the comfort itself. It depents on your preferences as well of course. You should look for something else if you want a smooth shave above all.

[@AmonnRa]

@@wunschgetreu-reviewsmadein195 I bought Braun because my skin is very sensitive sensitive, I have Gillette Proglide but it's too agressive and I usually get razor bumps from both Proglide and Mach 3, I used Andis TS 2 but it was terrible on my neck, I excepted from Braun at least close shave as Mach 3 but result was bad.

[@wunschgetreu-reviewsmadein195]

@@AmonnRa Ah I see. Well yeah, Mach 3 provides a smooth shave. I think that some of the Philips shavers like the 7000 or 9000 are gentle on the skin.(better than braun) But they perform worse in regards to the core performance. They all cant compete with a wet razor.
