agree that shave is not the closest and the blade seemed to dull too quickly wont be getting this one for Christmas

What a disappointment. I wanted this shaver for many years. But after purchasing it (at a bargain price of 18 pounds from a clearance store) I was heart broken to find that it didnt give a close shave as my previous braun shaver (that i've decided to continue using). It takes longer to shave. It seems fragile I dont think it would last very long. The three foil function is annoying and I cant tell much difference in it. Cleaning it is awkward. The only positive thing about it is that it seems gentle and probably a good shaver for a first shaver! I'm very disapointed with Philip's!!
