The Philips Norelco Shaver 7700 for Sensitive Skin is an electric shaver designed for those with sensitive skin that generally experience irritation after shaving. It features an LED screen, five-direction blades, and self-cleaning and lubrication.
This shaver is designed for those with sensitive skin, if you experience redness, irritation, or bumps after shaving, then this shaver might be a good choice for you. It features gentle-precision blades that help to stop tugging, which is a leading cause of irritation when shaving.
As the blades move in five different directions, the idea is that they follow the curve of the face which catches hair in hard-to-reach places.
This is definitely not a beginners razor but is instead ideal for someone who has prior experience with electric razors and has the confidence to use something that is more unique compared to a conventional electric razor as this model does take a little bit of time to get used to using it properly.
This product is also on the higher end, price-wise.
