Philips RQ1075 Electric Shaver

I was about to purchase this shaver in the shops, having satisfied myself that it was the one I wanted so I was pleasantly surprised to see that a new one was available on eBay. I set myself a budget significantly below the normal retail price and was delighted when I was the highest bidder. The product was as described and I am delighted with the purchase.

This is the best shaver i ever had,it is smoth,shaves nearly as close as a blade,is very practical and clever designed.
i am very happy with it.
cheers

I don't know what jollyjoiner is talking about. I bought one for hubby from eBay for less than half the price in shops. He's over the moon with the shaver.
He's shaved for 35ish years with electric shavers and he says it's the best yet by far. To quote hubby, It's smooth, shaves close even in tricky areas round the neck and it's all down to the design of the heads. Looking at all the reviews, jollyjoiner is the odd man out !!!

it is a lot easier to clean than older shavers
of all manufacture
and this in turn means a more comfortable shave

I've never really been a fan of electric shavers despite have had several over the years as I have a dark and coarse beard. My son bought an RQ1075 and invited me to try it. I bought one and have had it for a month. I'm delighted with the results, it glides and cuts rather that seeming to pull and is by far the best I have ever used. It's not as close as a wet shave with a good razor but comes very close. I think the wash system it a bit of a gimmick but other than that ....it's a superb razor.
I've now had it 7 months and it's still performing like new. I have to shave every morning and it only needs charging every 3 weeks.

I'm not one who can write in style so I'll stick to the objective

About me: Been using electric shaver on/off alongside Gillette Mach 3/Fusion for 5 years now ( that's about 4 years after I started shaving). My first and only other electric shaver is Philishave 7 series (standard lift & cut rotary shaver with considerably less shaving surface than boasted by the Arcitec). Before anyone starts suggesting, I should say use the E-Shaver in circular motion, shave just after I wash my face in the morning, and not right after I scrub it and therefore my skin should be primed for a shave, not too soft not too hard. My experience with the 7 series was great. I even dared to use it to shave my head clean should I need to.

My expectation: A no nonsense shaver that will get the job done quickly as to minimise the possibility of irritation without pulling, or tugging. I expect it to be able to deal with long hair, short stubble and even the ingrown hair for a close shave comparable though not exactly matching razor blade shave (for nothing ever will). It should be sufficient to clean and empty the hair chamber after four regular shaves.

The outcome: I wouldn't spend £199 on this shaver. Yes it does the job but the value for money ratio is so mediocre that it just does not justify blowing a sizeable hole in your wallet. It does not deal in the sensitive area well enough. My chin feels more razor-burnt than when I use the Fusion because it requires numerous strokes to clean it. The sideburn-shaving is efficient, but then again, since the contour there is almost flat, it should not be a challenge for any shaver, electric or not! This is attributable to the fact that the circular holes (the holes designed to catch the short stubble) are centrally located in each shaving head as opposed to within the rings, ensuring that more strokes are required for a close shave.

The hair catchment chamber is too small. Clearly it was sacrificed for the pivot head (which again did not do a good job adapting to my face), meaning you have to empty the chamber quite regularly, or in my case, after two shaves, to make sure that my other half doesn't complain!

Overall this is a good shaver, but it clearly does not justify moving up the ladder. I would rather stick to the HQ8290 series instead for its shaving head have the holes dispersed.

Excellent value and delivery.
Only cost 40% of Argos price including delivery.
Made successful bid on sunday evening and was delivered early tuesday morning.
Description of shaver accurate.I hadn't done much research on which Philips shaver I specifically wanted,but am very pleased with what I recieved.

Went to Boots...looked at this top end shaver £200 ...mmm looks good ,read the blurb....mmm my old Phillips top end shaver now ten years old has had loads of new heads and i lost the charging lead so time for a change i thought!. Bought RQ 1075 on ebay half price of Boots..happy days ...then i charged it up read the book ...im open to this new design ,a bit fiddly and fragile looking but new is better right!. no ...it doesnt shave as close as my old shaver and it does this by tearing the stubble from your face...ouch! my skin is raw......so what to do persist with it and the raw skin..but its not a close shave!...i wish i had of looked on ebay for a new lead for my old shaver or stick to the older design....
Ebay good...RQ1075 avoid they just don't work....
