I believe that it is not a pleasant experience to see a person coming out of shower room with cuts and bruises on his face. Unfortunately, I've had to see this daily up until I recently presented my husband with MSS.
I used to see my husband struggling with his outrageous razor to achieve smooth and close shave. How can you avoid cuts and bruises on most difficult contours of your face while working with a stiff straight tool? Huh…..
This thought took me to MSS when I was searching something meaningful for my husband as our First anniversary present.I was quite excited for the gift I got for him so when he tried MSS for the first time I enjoyed the experience the same way he did.
He just filled the Nivea fluid in his shaver and it was ready to start with. No need of brushing the face thoroughly with shaving foam and wait for the stiff beard to become soft. The movement of the MSS was amazing; it seemed like shaver was smoothly massaging his face. Nivea fluid gave the finest lubrication and pivot movements were submissively following the contours of the face. I could undoubtedly see the WOW!!! Expression on my husband's face….
The grip on shaver was so perfect and its "JUST RIGHT" shape gives full control to handle it with ease. I could well imagine how electrified was my husband with this unique gizmo that he eagerly explained me what is so unique about this shaver…..The shaver head has 2 pivot actions, not only the head itself moves and follows the contours of the face but also the 3 Flex Tracker automatically tracks the curves of the face and protect against skin irritation….
I am really happy that I had spent my time and energy to find something that can actually make a difference. What else can be a more meaningful gift than MSS as it reminds him of my care and love every morning.
Highly recommended……HINA ALI, Amazon.co.uk

This is the best electric razor I've owned. Used in the shower it gives an exceptional shave - well recommended!
 Adequate shaver with weaknesses November 9, 2008
Ian Linux (Birmingham, UK)
First of all, this shaver takes a little getting used to but my skin settled down after about 10 days. I get a pretty close shave having learnt to not push it too hard and just relax. Now the weaknesses:
1) 12 months anticipated In-built redundancy on shaver head - HS85
2) Gel cartridge redundancy of 6 months
3) Nivea gel expensive
With 1 above starting at > GBP25, I suspect the annual costs for running this shaver stands at about GBP30-40 if you follow Philips's guidelines. Don't be fooled by the advertisers into thinking you are buying 3 HS85 units, as they often use the three head fact to con. Added to which:
4) The shaver is cheaply built IMO and will not survive a fall from sink height onto a hard tiled surface. What's annoying is the consumerist philosophy which ignores sustainability. I wouldn't mind paying for the annual extras if the unit was built solidly in the first place. Philips don't seem to care that this unit is of poor build quality.
5) Cheap and nasty charger which relies on the weight of the shaver to sit properly on a shelf.
Overall, nice shaver for my bristles and skin characteristics, but way too many flaws and expensive to run over the year.
BIC throwaways might be less satisfying, but certainly much, much cheaper
Very good... for an electric shaver September 22, 2008

First things first. This is not as close as a wet shave. It isn't far off, but if you want to shave as close as possible this isn't it.
I have been using this just about every day for a month now. I have been wet shaving for 10 years and was pretty fed up with it. Generally only shaved one day in two as I couldn't be bothered. I had a Braun foil electric razor which cut very close but left me very red and actually cut me around difficult areas.
I wondered if the moisturiser was just a gimmick but I think it significantly increases the pleasure of shaving. (Yes I now enjoy shaving!) I would definitely go for this feature again. The free 28ml moisturiser has lasted me about 5 weeks.
Pros
It is quiet
It cuts close enough to keep me and the girlfriend happy
I'm now happy to shave every day
Battery lasts me 8-9 days
Very small
Cons
It drags without moisturiser (or shaving foam or gel)
It leaves the occasional stray hair (only 1-2 per 2 shaves - worse if hair is longer)
Not as close as wet shave
Need the stand to charge it so would need to take that on longer trips
Takes about the same amount of time as a wet shave
It's as good as you hope it is September 4, 2008

I've been having problems with irritation from shaving in the last year.
Regardless of whether I wet shave or use my traditional Philshave electric razor I get itchy skin which often leads to angry red spots that take days to disappear.
This razor knocked me for six, the shave is so smooth as close and doesn't irritate the areas of my face that used to be prone to rashes.
The shaving balm pump is very effective, I assumed it was a manual action but its actually a mini electric pump inside. The Nivea shave balm is excellent but very expensive, I lather my face up with Gillette shave gel before shaving to get away with using less of the Nivea product.
I'm over the moon with my new shaver, highly recommended.
My objective opinion August 19, 2008
Big Si (England)
Comments from other reviewers appear to be rather polarised, with many praising this as the best shaver ever, with others apparantly being less than impressed. My objective view is that this shaver falls between both stools. Firstly, this gives a very good shave indeed - there's no skin irritation and the product is really simple and easy to use. I would take issue with some of the comments suggesting that this gives as close a shave as a wet shave; it doesn't. However, I would also refute comments made by others that this product is over-rated; it isn't. You'll come away with a good shave and I'm finding that I'm using a wet razor every third day rather than every other day. In all, this is well worth the money (particularly as the RRP is actually 70 quid) and I would say this is a very good product indeed. Recommended!
