My first impressions were positive: the head shaver fits comfortably in the hand, is easy to use on my head, and was ready to use right out of the box. The device shaves smoothly over the contours of my head, collects cut hair excellently, and is incredibly easy to clean. I charged it once upon receipt and have been using it every other day for three weeks now without needing to charge it again. Don't expect a shave as close as with a razor, but for everyday use, it's more than good enough.
I also use it on my face. It does a reasonable job there, but it doesn't shave as well over the facial contours as it does over my head. One drawback, in my opinion, is the price of replacement blades: around €35 (as of January 2026), almost half the price of the shaver itself.
For daily head shaving, this is highly recommended.

I always use the Philips head groomer, which shaves perfectly smooth. But unfortunately, they no longer produce it. Now, Phillips has released the head shaver pro. I had high expectations, but it doesn't deliver the same results as the head groomer. Even on thin hairlines, it barely shaves. It looks smooth, but you can still feel all the stubble.
So, unfortunately, I'm disappointed with Phillips.
Why stop producing a good device that works perfectly?

What a fantastic device! I've been dreading shaving my head completely for years, mainly because of the amount of work and the constant hassle of having to bother my wife with the last few hairs I can't easily see. With this Philips head shaver, I can easily do it myself, and quickly too! It's super handy and easy to hold for the entire shave. The included cleaning station makes maintenance incredibly easy. This was exactly the device I was looking for, allowing me to shave my head easily, quickly, and with good results on a regular basis. I can't think of any negatives or inconveniences, to be honest; I'm incredibly happy with this device. If it keeps working for years to come, I'll be a happy man (with a shiny bald head) :)
