Philips Shaver Series 8000 S8697/35 -parranajokone

Black Friday 2025 gave me the opportunity to buy a Philips i9000 shaver. I am very happy to have it.

I have to assume that Philips and it's competitors have all improved a huge amount through the years judging by my i9000/30 which has exceeded my expectations so far (a few weeks now). As an 'older gentleman' I have decades of experience with wet shaving and have owned older models from both Philips and Braun and neither gave me a shave like this. Efficient and smooth to the point I don't need to wet shave, happy used dry or wet (with or without a light amount of shaving gel or soap), fine in front of a mirror or in the shower (keeping it away from the water stream of course) and so simple I use it daily instead of wet shaving 2 or 3 times per week. Maybe the best part and the reason I bought this particular model is the cleaning case. I flip the head open, rinse under a tap, close it, put it in the case and press the on button and leave it. It cleans and lubricates in about a minute, turns itself off and gently dries over the hours even I leave it like that. I dont have shares in Philips by the way, just complimentary about a good product.

Absolutely delighted!

Smooth shave wet or dry and the edge trimmer finishes things off perfectly

A much improved shave over my old 9000 version. I do think that the curved head is a little cumbersome though. I like the flip up trimmer but do miss the drier of the old jet system

Excellent shaver great for the shower very close shave

An excellent electric razor which gives me a smooth close shave. The best yet from Philips and I have been using their electric razors for over 50 years. Highly recommended.

I bought this shaver to replace my old Phillishave that I had for many years. With my old shaver the shave was always okay, but if I wanted a really close shave I would reach for the razor. With the i9000 I am amazed how close it gets - no more wet shaves for me, no more nicks and cuts.

Ergonomic and a great shave on a single pass even after two days growth.very minimal shave burn and a long battery life.What’s not to like

This is my third Philips shave and without doubt as the years go by they get better each time.

The i9000 is my latest and I am impressed with how fast it is to get a good close shave, in under three minutes.

As close a, shave as I have ever had. Very comfortable.
