For those on the other philips deal who want a cheap, shower proof body trimmer instead. Reviews seem mixed, I don't know if I'd trust this one with my private parts.
CamelCamelCamel.
Been using this for about 5 or so years. Does the job. Battery doesn't hold a charge
for long anymore, but I just charge it before use.
LOL, definately need that to go around the thick bush
You better off get a lawn mower for grooming. Lol
You mean the Manskape lawn mower model?
@huntingforbargainz: Lol the farfetchness has well exceeded any practical use.. :P you now need to ask someone else to use it to trim your hair. Can't be on the ride on and have the blades cut your hair.
Have the old model. Battery is completely broken. Can't trust anything that doesn't use lithium ion nowadays.
The damn thing catches skin on private areas without using the attachment. Only had it for 3 months or so.
Stretch your skin. It won't catch.
Why on earth do they have the USB plug like that instead of being able to plug it into any USB c charger… Pass just for that
They are all like this now it seems. But is also great as it means you can take them to any country and use it.
I'm talking about a USBC receptacle in the body of the shaver so I can use my phone charger and not have to take another charger with me. Eg ES-RM3B-K from panasonic
Ahhhh gotcha.. I agree proprietary connections only add frustration
You can always get an adaptor - USB-C to A.
That doesn't change the proprietary connector on the other end which means you can only use their cable.
True, but it does remove the need for a dedicated charger.
The design of the plug is likely to do with use in wet environments

Not really, you still need a dedicated cable

It's so they can stop including a wall charger (swing then money) and not have to create new products with a different charging connector (USB C would work and can be waterproof)
@spaceflight: IMO, A dedicated cable is still easier to carry than a dedicated charger even with an adapter.
swing then money
Probably is money related - ideally lack of a charger would result in a reduction in price. I would speculate that two pins are probably easier to waterproof than USB-C. I recently got water in my phones charging port and it was an absolute pain to deal with.
As for not getting chargers, I haven't used the chargers that have come with many of my recent devices and have a heap lying around. It would be easy enough to find a suitable charger. I would guess this is reasonably common as i've got friends/family who seem to have a heap of old USB chargers lying around.
I’ve had one of these for years and it gets the job done however expect snags and multiple passes to be a frequent occurrence
the head is not adjustable, i think that's the problem with it getting caught and stuff. i find it average to use
These are awesome for your pubic hair, no cuts or nicks etc
