‘Best ever’ £55 Philips ‘very close’ shaver now £42 in deal better than Boots

Fans say the item is ‘whisper quiet’ and gives a ‘very close and fast shave’

Investing in grooming gadgets can help make a morning routine that much easier, but it can be hard to know what’s worth spending on and what’s best left on the virtual shelves. When it comes to shaving, there’s plenty of brands to choose from, but we’ve spotted a deal on a Phillips shaver that shoppers can’t stop raving about online.

The Philips Electric Shaver Series 3000X is hugely popular on Amazon, having garnered over 10,000 reviews from mostly happy users, and it’s now available at Amazon with 24% off, taking its price from £54.99 to £41.99 in a deal better than Boots’ £44.99 offering. The 3000X series isn’t the only Philips model on offer on the online marketplace either, as shoppers can also bag the £159.99 Philips Electric Shaver 3000 Series for £69.99 in a 56% off deal, or the Philips Shaver Series 5000 with 53% off, taking the price from £209.99 to just £98.99.

For those wondering why the Philips Electric Shaver Series 3000X has garnered such high praise, the item boasts a number of nifty features including SkinProtect Technology for a comfortable clean shave even on sensitive skin. It also has 27 self-sharpening PowerCut Blades that cut up to 55,000 times per minute right above skin level.

The grooming gadget features 2 years of self-sharpening steel blade lifetime and offers the option to wet or dry shave depending on preference. It boasts an ergonomic handle for ease of use, and those prone to cuts during shaving will no doubt be pleased to hear that the the floating shaver heads flex in four directions to maintain even skin contact, protecting from pesky nicks.

Other shaving devices we’ve spotted on sale include the Braun Series 5 Electric Shaver which is on offer for £74.99, down from £149.99 at Boots. Alternatively, shoppers may wish to consider the Gillette Body and Intimate Men’s Trimmer i5 which is £44.99 cut from £89.99, also at Boots.

Back at Amazon, and the Philips Electric Shaver Series 3000X has received rave reviews from fans. One said: “A excellent shaver, shaves closely and great battery life.” Meanwhile another commented: “Whisper quiet – very close and fast shave, easily cleaned – just rinse, air dry and put away.”

One was so impressed they went as far as to say the item was their favourite shaver, writing: “The best shavers I’ve ever purchased – always leaves a nice clean shave without any cuts. The battery on a full charge can last me up to 45 minutes…long enough for three shaves.”

Naturally, it’s worth pointing out that not all shavers suit all shoppers’ needs, and one commented: “Next day delivery. Works good, but not as close a shave as my old one, which was the older version of this…which lasted for 8 years. Can’t see this one lasting that amount of time.”

Despite this, another pointed out they prefer it to a more premium Philips model, writing: “I bought this as a temporary replacement for a much more expensive Philips shaver that was in my luggage that our airline had mislaid on a recent skiing trip to Italy.

“I didn’t expect much from this but in hindsight I prefer it to my original shaver. Yes, as others have mentioned the motor does seem underpowered at first.

“However, I get a better shave from this than my previous shaver. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of a more expensive shaver but ultimately isn’t it the quality of the shave you get that’s important?”
