Received about a month ago and quite satisfied with its performance overall. Just a bit disappointed with the thickness of the margins around the cutters - I can get right under my nose. Only giving 4 stars though! Why oh why don't Philips make it clearer which shavers come with protective caps and which don't. I think the general perception of potential buyers is that all the shavers include a protector. I would have ordered one along with the shaver but I don't intend to pay for one, plus the post & packing.

Only a 4 as I’ve only had the shaver for about a month so to early for a 5, so far the shaving experience has been very good, both dry and with shaving cream, not so good just wet not so smooth on the skin. So far cleaned the shaver on its cleaning pod under the tap and in warm soapy water, all good results. Used to be a wet shaver but due to an operation on my right hand decided to try electric shaving very good.

Shaves close and gets to all the areas. Very comfortable shave. Only criticism is that there is a fairly big gap from cutting area to the edge of the shaver, which makes it tricky when cutting under the nose or trying to do sideburns neatly.
