The head is very easy to open and clean with the brush provided. And the indicator panel on the handle tells you if your technique is correct and shows a reminder to use your cleaning pod which keeps your shaver clean and hygienic. (This can be used in combination with the App)I also used the shaver after 2 days of growth and found the results to be just as rewarding.Battery life is very good and according to the App, after two weeks of usage there was still 65% of battery power left in the device.On using the cleaning pod, I found this to be quite effective in making a really good job of cleaning and lubricating the shaving heads. However, I do feel that it would be an easier process if you were able to just brush clean the heads and use a spray equivalent of the cleaning solution.I found that the shape of the shaving heads makes it easier to access the upper and lower areas of the lips, again with a good precision cut. I personally found that the shaver was easy to hold especially when I have an issue with my grip.The claim of no redness due to the unique protective coating which lies between the shaver heads and your skin is quite genuine and as a sufferer of shaving redness under my chin, there was no redness with this shaver!In conclusion, the Philips Series 8000 S8697/35 Wet and Dry electric shaver has provided me with a genuine quality shaving experience and would therefore recommend this to anyone looking for the smooth cut feeling.
