I’ve been using the Philips SensoTouch 3D to shave and totally in love with it (check my Philips SensoTouch 3D review if you haven’t). Today I was told that Philips announces a new electric shaver range, called the Philips PowerTouch series – providing a fast, convenient, and skin-friendly shave.
The new Philips PowerTouch offers a 100% washable design, corded or cordless versatility, and longer battery life (over 60 minutes on the top model, the PowerTouch Pro (PT920cc).
The idea for the PowerTouch range is to make daily shave as simple and effective as possible:
- To charge quickly (and not too frequent)
- To shave quickly
- To clean the shaver quickly
The new Philips PowerTouch range uses Super Lift and Cut Technology with the usual triple-head system. It is unclear how is this compared to the SensoTouch 3D that I’ve been using in terms of the shaving experience and whether the PowerTouch series can give a closer shave.
