The built-in motor automatically increases or decreases the required power based on how thick your hair is, meaning you can clip through stubborn, thicker hair quickly before moving on the thinner hair that needs a precise shave.Īs you should expect from a premium trimmer, you'll need to keep the blades sharp by regularly oiling and cleaning the blades, and while that can be a fortnightly nuisance, it's actually really easy with the Series 9000, as the whole blade head flips over to make it easier to clean out the gunk and ensure the blades get the proper TLC they deserve. Our beard is about 8mm in length and we found it much easier to keep the cheeks and jaw all at the same length with the included clipper head, but it was around the mouth and adjusting the line on the neck where the power was most obvious. Clip on the additional guiding comb and you can now stretch up to 10mm should you so desire, but it's in the intricate detailing that you'll find the best results. Predominantly focused on maintaining and tidying an existing beard, the Series 9000 has no equal for touching up whispy whiskers and overgrown neckbeards, with the option to adjust your cutting length on the fly with a handy rotating dial in the body that stretches the trim from a skin-close 0.4mm up to 5mm. It's also fully waterproof, making shower-shaving an absolute dream and clean-up after much simpler.

You get about an hour and 20 minutes of shaving time, which should be plenty for most bear-like beards, but even if you're rushing for time, you can get a full charge back in just under an hour charging. The ergonomic design makes it a reasonably simple task to slice through beard hair without straining your wrist, and you won't have to contend with cables or plugs, as it's battery-powered. The older model featured a guiding laser that was absolutely not useful at all for helping you trim in straight lines, but Philips has done away with the gimmicks in favour of a powerful motor, useful attachments and precise blades for a solid shave. This is a serious bit of kit that should be handled by a serious man.
