My new shaver

OK, so I got the Philips. It was Rm149, instead of the usual Rm229.00. Why? I am not sure. And I am not going to bother much about it. The main thing is, I got a shaver. But its really sad I have to fork out $$$ just because someone made it fall into the dustbin. Sigh.

Anyway, I am starting to like this shaver, at least three times a week, that is.

And so, like any other electrical consumer
product, it comes in a nicely designed box.

But Philips took it a step further with what looks like
a biodegradable container. But it reminds me of eggs.

OK, this is a very nice metal mesh bag.
I'll keep it until I find a use for it.

Like my previous shaver, there is a small button
which when you press it, the whole top assembly
will come loose. Here, with the spring loaded cover,
I think it will just flick all the hair all over the place.
OK, I like this because it reminds me of some Sci-Fi
container. But in this case, if it flips open in slow
motion, gives a hissing sound and smoke comes
out, I'd better throw it over to my neighbour's.

All I can say, cleaning the blades are going to be
a bit more than usual. But I love the chrome cover
design. Reminds me of the Millenium Falcon...

And here is the head assembly which sort of floats
about and its very good feeling when you start to
shave. But maybe, not as good as those funny
looking three bladed system which looks more like
some portable hi-tech 3-leaf clover.

I am not sure if this is a good idea to have the trimmer
assembly so long. All I could think of was how fragile it
would be when someone drops it.

And like any new shaver, it uses a power supply wall
adaptor, just like your Mobile Phone. Sure you can
plug 240 volts straight into it but you better have a
fire extinguisher ready. The whole exercise might
even shock you.

OK, this is a new one, which is a very good idea.
I think they're trying to tell you not to put the
scissors so near to the adaptor.

I have to let it run for awhile to remove all
the built-up energy from the batteries. It
all started from the old shaver which was
using NiCd batteries. Strange this shaver
had to run for more than 30 minutes.

OK, so the batt low indicator comes on and
when it is low, the shaver will switch itself
off.

The instruction manual says to charge it for
four hours for a first time charge. No way am
I going to wait until 2Am in the morning.

Anyway, this is a nice shave. It would even
be nicer if my face was a bit drier. Although
it can do wet shave, I have never tried that
before. But somehow, splashing water onto
my face can not be considered wet shave....
