The shaving result is a lot smoother than I am used to from other Philips shavers. I get handy guidance via the pressure sensor and app, so that I shave better. I do have to press quite hard before I get the green light on the pressure sensor.
Smooth shaving with the right setting I take the shaver out of the box and the luxurious appearance of the device immediately catches my eye. I have always had Philips shavers, so I was curious about the result of this model. After the first shave, I immediately felt that this device shaves smoother than I was used to. This keeps my face smooth for longer. The pressure sensor uses a light ring to indicate whether I am applying the right pressure while shaving. I do have to press quite hard before the light ring turns green. This does not always feel comfortable. Fortunately, this shaver has different shaving settings. When I put it in the sensitive setting, I shave a lot more comfortably. If my beard is a bit longer, I use the intense setting. This makes it easy to shave longer hairs. It also comes with a beard trimmer attachment. Because I have light beard growth, I do not need this attachment.
Guidance in the app I can easily connect the shaver to the app via Bluetooth. While shaving, I get useful feedback on my shave in the app. This way, I can see whether I am applying the right pressure and making the right circular movements while shaving. This helps me improve my shaving technique and get a better result. The app also indicates how long I shave each time. This prevents me from shaving for too long. I can also easily adjust the shaving mode in the app. I can also see how long the shaving head will last and how many cleaning sessions are left in the cleaning station.
Cleaning and killing bacteria There are handy accessories with which I can clean the shaver. After each shave, the cleaning station cleans the shaving head within one minute. For example, it removes any remaining hairs. There is also a UV charging case. The UV light in the case kills the bacteria on the shaving head within 10 minutes. In the meantime, it also charges the shaver. With the cleaning station and the UV case I keep the shaver clean and I always shave hygienically.

When I opened the package, I immediately noticed that this shaver fits comfortably in my hand. It feels like you're dealing with one of Philips' top-of-the-line products, making the shaving experience even better.
Charging is possible in the UV purifier, but in my experience, it doesn't fully charge the shaver. Charging is best done directly on the charger. The shaver is fully charged within a short time.
I had to pair it with the app several times, after which an update was immediately available. The app offers shaving tips based on previous shaves. It's good, but in my experience, you don't check it daily. You can, of course, also check here for updates.
After updating, you can start shaving. The first shave is immediately noticeable with the various colors. If you press too hard, the shaver turns red, and if it's working well, it turns green. This is nice, but not essential. Personally, I turned it off to save battery life. The shaving results are immediately visible. You can clearly see the difference between the shaved and unshaved areas. My skin feels incredibly smooth after a shave. No razor or device has ever achieved this. I noticed that with a few shaves, you can also get small nicks. After each shave, the device reminds you to cleanse.
Personally, I'm disappointed with the battery life. The device drains easily within a day. Activating the travel lock stops the drain. Enabling the power-saving mode also helps. I've managed to shave five times on a full battery so far. Fortunately, it charges quickly.
A plus point is that both the UV and cleansing pods work well. You immediately notice the difference. Therefore, I definitely recommend using both cleansing methods. My final conclusion is that it's a great shaver that fits comfortably in the hand and delivers an extremely smooth shave, but it does require regular charging.

Beautiful machine that shaves perfectly. UV case is great. Also for taking with you on a trip. Battery sometimes goes empty even in the UV case that is both charged and on the charger. App is fun, but mainly a gimmick for the first few days.
