Review (5/5): World's Best Electric Shaver
My wife bought me this Philips Norelco 1059X shaver last Christmas after complaining about my so called self cleaning Remington R1000 shaver. I can tell you that I always had issues getting the R1000 to shave under my nose well. I also had to still clean out the shaving head even with the fluid running through the R1000. The cheap China made pump motor died on the R1000 and Remington sent me a new shaver which turned into another piece of junk. When I first used this Norelco 1059X it got those missing hairs under my nose and after 5 months of using this, it still shaves very close as it flexes to the contour of your face very well. It's very comfortable to hold and handle while shaving. Cleaning this is one of the best things about it. You just flip up the 3 hinged shaving heads and rinse under the faucet. It's extremely clean and ready for the next use. Even an indicator shows up above the digital battery life indicator to remind you to wash it out which by the way only takes 10 seconds if that. I've used Norelco since I was old enough to shave as my Dad handed me his used one when I was 14. That was 40 years ago. Why I bought that Remington is beyond me.
Now here's the best story I can tell you about this shaver. I took a trip to the Philippines back in March. Out of habit, I packed the power cord and shaver as I always did with the old one. I left without the charging stand (my unit came with two types). Yep I was dumb for doing that I thought but the stored energy on this thing allowed me to shave every day I was there without a charge the entire 22 days I was gone. And it still had a charge for another day or two after I returned from that trip. I'm telling you this has to be the world's best Electric Shaver and it was purchased right here at Amazon.
