Review: Worth upgrading? Probably not...but it's decent. - I recently decided it was time to upgrade from my old 2 head Philishave. This new shaver looks really nice and feels good when using it on my face (glides effortlessly)...however I am finding it gives me a burning sensation once I've finished shaving which my old philishave never used to do. Perhaps my skin just needs to get used to it because already after my 5th shave the burning sensation has reduced. It gives a very good shave, but only very slightly better than my philishave so I don't think it was worth upgrading in my case. It's cheap though so I can't complain! If you are looking for a first time shaver then this is the one for you - it's brilliant, but if you already have a philishave shaver that still works and you only want a new one because you think it will give you a much better shave then I recommend waiting until your shaver actually does break! =========REVIEW UPDATE BELOW========== It's been a few weeks since I bought it and I can report that the burning sensation has stopped. I guess my skin has adapted to it. =========REVIEW UPDATE TWO============ When I said originally that it only gave a slightly better shave than my old philishave it was because this powertouch still left a few very small hairs every time under my chin. I've since learnt that if you very slowly move the shaver over that area it will actually get those hairs. Now I can say this is the best shave I've ever had, my skin is extremely smooth now. Upped my review to 5 stars. :)
Review: Good product - The shaver is excellent for a budget price. The trimmer could be sturdier but most people would not drop it on floor during use so can’t really complain as it worked well until I dropped it. The shaver still works well after regular heavy use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can now shave twice daily with ZERO irritation. Great!
*by S***. on 31 October 2015*

A stark contrast to the last time I used an electric shaver. Have went from only able to shave once every couple of days with a manual shaver to shaving 2 times a day with no foam / gel / water etc and yet have zero irritation. Brilliant! I am actually shocked at how good this is, especially considering it is the low end of this series. The 2 above it (plus and pro) have a pop up trimmer bit for side burns and moustaches (for me not needed) and the high end one has water jet cleaning and charging system. The plus i'm not too sure on wither it comes with a dock for charging though. This one doesn't, only a cable. The charging cable is reasonable but there is no 2 prong to 3 prong adapter if you don't have a bathroom socket. Do not see why it isn't included, considering they only cost 1 to 2 quid. Hardly worth down rating for though. Charging is quick and doesn't bother me having to charge else where once every week or 2. There is ZERO need to buy the pro for the cleaning system, it is crazy easy and quick to clean this shaver by quickly putting it under some running water. Last but not least, there is no mess. The last electric shaver I tried years ago was a foil shaver and it 'spewed' hairs everywhere. This catches them all behind the grill. Could actually be kept/charged and used outside the bathroom with no mess. I still prefer mines in the Bathroom though.
