A BIG splurge, but worth it
I purchased this item as a gift for my father.  The pricetag was high and I debated for a while but ultimately took the plunge.  And I think it was worth it.<br /><br />I guess when re-reading the description it does explain the product pretty well but what I somehow missed is that these are limited editions and I think Philips is a Formula 1 sponsor so the appreciation on this as a collectible could be pretty intense.  There are 200 units in existance and they're numbered.  They also have a certificate of authenticity.<br /><br />The case itself has 3 levels.  The top folds down to reveal a mini-DVD, the instruction manual, a USB adapter/converter of some sort (not sure what exactly it does - dad can figure that out on his own) and a brush for cleaning the shaver.<br /><br />The main level is covered by a black dust cloth.  Under the cloth is the shaver in it's stand (a unique black, white and silver smart-touch.  I have the 9170XLCC with the clean and charge base model actually - this one is a little sleeker/cooler looking), a flash drive that I think has a message from Williams on it but I haven't listened as this is a gift, a carbon fiber travel case for the shaver, and a miniature formula one racing car, which is highly collectible I believe.<br /><br />That tray lifts out to reveal the bottom of the case and a half-tray.  The half-tray holds the plastic travel cover for the shaver and the Power cord.  The bottom of the container itself holds the auth certificate.<br /><br />I was already pondering purchasing an electric shaver for my dad and he's a Formula 1 fan so when I found this I got pretty excited.  Well worth the price when you see it in person.  The presentation is flawless and makes a truly incredible gift I think.<br /><br />Props to Philips on this!
