The "i9000 Prestige Ultra" from Philips is an electric wet and dry shaver with five shaving modes, sharp blades and a coating designed to reduce skin irritation.
Daily shaving is a chore for many men. Skin irritation, uneven results and the time involved are annoying. The "i9000 Prestige Ultra XP9404/46" from Philips is an electric wet and dry shaver and, according to the manufacturer, promises a remedy.
The "i9000 Prestige Ultra" is equipped with "SkinIQ Pro" technology, which offers five different shaving modes. In addition, a sensor analyses the hair density 500 times per second and automatically adjusts the cutting performance, at least according to the manufacturer. The modes include:
- Regular: for daily shaving
- gentle: for sensitive skin
- intensive: higher cutting performance for thick beards
- Foam: for wet shaving with shaving foam
- personalised: adaptable to your specific requirements
Unfortunately, I can't tell you exactly what the latter means. You will probably be allowed to make a few settings here via the app
Shaving down to 0.08 millimetres
The shaving system is based on the "Triple Action Lift & Cut" technology, which, according to the manufacturer, lifts the hair at the root and cuts it down to 0.08 millimetres above the root without damaging the skin. This is said to ensure a smooth result that lasts a whole day.
The razor blades are hardened with nanoparticles and, according to the manufacturer, offer an extremely sharp and long-lasting cutting edge. Nanoparticles in razor blades refer to extremely small particles in the nanometre range that are used to harden the blades. Here, nano means a size range of 1 to 100 nanometres, which corresponds to one billionth of a metre. In total, the "i9000 Prestige Ultra" is equipped with 72 blades and performs up to 165,000 cutting movements per minute.
The blades are designed to reach hard-to-reach areas such as the neck and under the nose. The 360-degree swivelling head is also designed to adapt to your face and reach difficult areas.
Coating consists of 500,000 microspheres per square centimetre
The razor has a "Hydro SkinGlide" coating. This consists of up to 500,000 microspheres per square centimetre. The microspheres are tiny, glass-like particles that serve to reduce friction between the razor and the skin. These tiny beads form a protective barrier on the surface of the skin, allowing the razor to glide over the skin more smoothly and with less resistance.
The active pressure and movement control gives the user feedback in real time. It shows how much pressure is optimal and supports the correct movement. According to the manufacturer, this helps to improve technique.
The "i9000 Prestige Ultra" comes with a beard styler that offers five cutting lengths from one to five millimetres and is designed for even trimming. The rounded stainless steel tips are also designed to prevent skin irritation. A travel case is also included. The shaver is also compatible with the "GroomTribe" app, which can be connected to the device via Bluetooth.
Cleaning and battery
The shaver has a cordless cleaning station for cleaning, which the manufacturer claims is ten times more effective than water. Shaving heads are cleaned and lubricated within one minute. According to the manufacturer, the world's first UV charger kills 99.9 per cent of bacteria on the razor surface within ten minutes.
In addition, the shaver can be operated for up to six weeks on a single charge. The battery runs for a total of 60 minutes and can be fully charged within an hour. A quick charge in five minutes is enough for one shave.
