Advantages: Compact, cheap Disadvantages: not the closest cut, a bit slow
-- Background --
I have always been one for a wet shave, I've always believed the sharpness of a true razor gives much better cuts than the rotating blades of an electric shaver. I received the HQ 40 as a birthday present from the wife so I felt I had to give it a fair crack.
-- In the box --
The shaver comes in a nicely compacted box which simply contains the shaver, some instructions and perhaps surprisingly the two AA batteries that are required to operate the shaver. Fit the batteries into place and away you go. The shaver is no more than 4 or 5 inches in height so would be ideal for carrying around in a pocket if you ran out of time for your early morning shave. The contrast of the colours is also a nice feature, the front of the shaver is predominantly red with a touch of grey which then runs all down the rear ...
Advantages: Nice and close Disadvantages: Where to buy the sachets.
Well I needed a new electric shaver, I do prefer wet shaving but with one thing and another it is not practical.
Been using a Remington shaver for a few years, it was ok, but needed new heads, and at nearly £30.00 I thought I would go looking for a new shaver.

The thing Iike ...
Advantages: Use in the shower Disadvantages: Two Pin Plug on charger
A really great shaver with super results. After recently leaving the Royal Navy I have been looking forward to using an electric shaver again and saying goodbye to my trusty Gillette Fusion.
The very first thing I noticed when I started using my old electric shaver again was the results between a wet and dry shave. Philips had the answer with the Cool Skin HQ6707.
A water proof electric shaver which you can use your favourite Nivea shaving gel with and even be used in the shower .
The shaver has three rotary heads which can move independently of each other. The face of the shaver also pivots to fit the contours of your face
This is the cheapest of the Cool Skin line of shavers, the other versions boasting a slightly longer battery life and faster charge time.
All the Cool Skin range have built in gel dispensers. The more ...
