Three Exceptional Features:

At the core of the new design and technology are three exceptional features that increase comfort and distinguish the shaver within the premium category; GyroFlex 2D, DualPrecision and AquaTech.

GyroFlex 2D is the distinctive two-dimensional component that allows the shaver to perfectly follow the unique contours of the face.

Philips RQ1180cc SensoTouch electric shaver with flex and pivoting action shaving head cares for your style and looks and is especially designed to shave even the shortest hairs. The ultra thin heads of Philips RQ1180cc electric shaver comes with slots to shave long hairs and unique micro holes designed to catch the shortest stubble to deliver a dual precision results.

(3) AquaTech inbuilt seal:

Aquatec is an inbuilt seal, which means that the shaver is 100% waterproof and the performance can be optimized when use with shaving gel or foam for enhanced skin comfort and minimizing skin irritation. It allows men the versatility to choose between a comfortable dry shave and a refreshing wet shave for those who prefer to use a gel. The wet and dry Aquatec seal gives you the choice of shaving both with a comfortable dry shave or with a refreshing wet shave using a shaving gel or foam for extra skin comfort.

Philips RQ1180cc electric shaver has got most advanced jet clean system with automatic cleaning program selection. Jet clean lubricates and maintains blades for ultimate performance. Jet clean is fully powered for quick charging of the shaver. Its active drying feature helps the shaver to quickly dry after cleaning

Battery indicator

The Philips SensoTouch electric shaver has 5 level battery indicator, battery low indicator, charge indicator, travel lock

Patented Super Lift and Cut technology

Philips SensoTouch RQ1180cc Shaver is equipped with dual blade system to give you ultra-close shave. Philips RQ1180cc Shaver's Super Lift and Cut System is designed to give you the closer yet secure shave as first blade lifts and second blade cuts for a comfortable below skin level. The advantage of having two-blade system is that you enjoy a comfortable and soothing shave. The super lift and cut system and reflex action system are combined in this shaver, offering superior closeness and contour-following. The dual-blade system of Philips SensoTouch shavers cut hair more efficiently. It means the shave is able to cut the longest hairs and then the shortest stubble even on the neck.

SkinGlide

The low-friction SkinGlide shaving surface slides smoothly along your skin, for an extra-close cut. The close-fit swing mechanism allows the head section to tilt forward and back, allowing hair to be gripped firmly at the roots.

Precision trimmer--Tailor your looks to suit your style.

Skin-friendly precision trimmer is perfect for grooming sideburns and mustache and to give you a smarter and stylish look. Philip's patented tube trimmer technology ensures great precision and maneuverability of your Philips RQ1180cc shaver. Open the trimmer by pushing the slide downwards. The trimmer can be activated while the shaver is running. The shaver is designed with a slim handle and anti-slip grip. The shaver comes in a striking red colour with seamless foil finishing and an LED display. It also has travel lock for maximum comfort while travelling and daily use.

100% washable shaver--Ease of use

Philips RQ1180cc electric shaver is a 100% waterproof, means it is very easy to keep it clean and hygienic, as you can simply rinse this waterproof shaver under tap. It also includes a cleaning brush to remove even the smallest dust particles and hairs. Philips SensoTouch rechargeable electric shavers come with corrosion free heads to give it a brand-new like look even after many uses. Keep your shaver in optimal shape by rinsing it in hot water after every use.

Advised shaving method

Rotary shavers require a rotating movement to get a close shave, contrary to a blade, where a rotating movement is dangerous and a linear movement is the standard. When shaving the neck, look down to catch all hairs (again, this is quite dangerous with a blade).

RQ11--Replacement shaver head

Philips offers RQ11 shaver head for this SensoTouch shaver. All Philips shavers come with one shaver head that can be replaced after every 2 years for optimal shaving results. To get the most out of your shaver, you should clean its shaving head after every use.

After charging it for 1 hour, it gives you approximate 50+ minutes of cordless power, which is approx 17 shaves.

Worldwide plug

The shaver comes with a standard two-pin UK plug that is only suitable for two-pin UK electrical sockets, designed to be used in UK bathroom shaving sockets with two holes. The lead can also be plugged into a wall socket (with three holes) via a converter. Converter not included.

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
I was dubious about this product at first. I had previously owned a Philips shaver and didn't get on with it at all. For the last few years I had been using a popular competitor which reasonable results. The problem is my neck never really shaved properly without an extended amount of effort, and often I subsequently noticed that there were still patches left unshaven.

Enter the SensoTouch. The top of the shaver moulds itself so well to the contours of my face that even after the first use, I could tell this would be perfect. I had 2-3 days of growth which for me is verging on a full beard, and less than 5 minutes later I was looking at a very clean-shaven face. With daily use it takes about 2-3 minutes tops.

The shaver hardly makes any noise either. It just glides over everything. The pointy bits are great for the nose area and my neck now shaves excellently thanks to the way it sits on the skin.

To clean, just take off the top and rinse it under the tap. For a super-clean, there is the automatic cleaner which is amazing, but I haven't felt the need to use it more than once a week.

This shaver can be used wet or dry. I still have to give the wet shave a go, but to be honest the dry shave is so good, I can't really see the motivation to use shaving cream.

It is expensive, but because it is so good, it saves you time in the morning and it is so gentle you don't feel you've just gone 20 rounds with a glorified piece of sandpaper. Definitely worth it.

Well done Philips and sorry for staying away for so long!

By Darren Simons TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
First, some context: if you use a wet shave and are considering going to an electric shaver for a better shave - forget it, the shave isn't going to be as good (even this one). If you are an electric shaver user and would like to get a closer shave then read on. The reality is that no electric shaver can mimic the cost and closeness of a razor shave despite potential electric shavers' advantages such as reduced skin cuts and irritation, portability, efficiency etc.

This shaver comes with a long lead to connect the 2-pin auto-voltage connector to a charger stand which has suction feet for stability. The shaver charges via touch-contacts when propped upright on the stand and the battery charge level on the RQ1180 is indicated by a 5 level column of lights. "Wet" shaving is entirely safe because the shaver cannot be connected to its charger when in use. The shaver is rated to provide 17 shaves fully charged and incorporates a 3 sec push and hold travel lock to prevent inadvertent discharge when travelling. Unfortunately the charger stand cannot be folded up for travel which is a bit of a nuisance as it takes up a lot of unneeded space. The instruction booklet was written for Ikea it seems - lots of pictures so no need to translate to different languages, but as a result you need some experience in Lego, Meccano or Ikea.

The RQ1180 itself is light, quiet and streamlined in use, comfortable to hold and easier to disassemble for cleaning than the more classic Philishave models I've used before. As a dry shaver, both with and without electric pre-shave lotion, its results felt no better than previous Philishaver models though its 2D contouring over the face felt marginally smoother. However when used as a wet shaver, using gel in personal preference to shaving foam or oils, the shave achieved with the RQ1180 was faster, closer and considerably more comfortable than its dry shave capability.

The RQ1180 includes a bulky electrically operated cleaner and charge stand with bowl for jet cleaning the shaver heads and this is responsible for much of the increased price of this shaver versus others from the same range. Individuals reluctant to pay this sum may prefer the same model available without the bowl for considerably less. The cleaner does a good job of cleaning the shaver and heads, but it may be a bit redundant as the shaver head assembly is easily washable under running water and can easily be disassembled for brush cleaning.

So to conclude... this is definitely a cut above (sorry) the traditional electric shaver and for that it must be commended. Conversely it doesn't beat a wet shave so it really is geared at electric shaver users onlu. From that point of view my only big objection has to be the price. For something that is after all a shaver it does seem considerably more expensive for a set of features which, being optimistic, will be used "for best". Worse still, you are paying a huge premium for the cleaning stand and I don't really think that's justified. For that reason alone, I'm afraid it has to lose a star.

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
A great razor from Phillips. A comfortable, well designed, great feeling piece that fits well in either left or right hand. I've left writing this review for a while so give a real review. I've used this both wet and dry, and received a great shave each and every time - close and with very little razor burn , a real problem for me. The cleaning and general maintenance of the razor is very simple.

The only issue I found was getting used to shaving in a circle motion. This razor is expensive but is definitely worth the money.
