The Philishave HQ7780 is the top of the range electric shaver and lives up to its reputation.

This is the first electric shaver that I've had and despite initial uncertainty, it really does shave as close as a razor! As the manual says, it does take a couple of shaves for your skin to get used to the shaver, but the 'Cool Skin' minimises irritation with the integral Nivea shaving lotion dispenser.

Possibly the best thing about the shaver is that its entirely waterproof and so you don't have to shower and shave separately. The next best thing is the aforementioned lotion dispenser that, with the touch of a button, lubricates the shaver so that it literally glides over your skin.The shaver is designed so that the head can flip open for extremely easy and thorough cleaning after every shave.

To recharge, the shaver just needs to sit in the cradle provided and you have the choice to leave for an hour or so to fully recharge, or a couple of minutes, for enough to power a single shave.

As far as price is concerned, I couldn't personally justify paying RRP for the shaver, so I used ebay and got a bargain, although do bear in mind that you wont need to buy new razor blades any time in the near future, which can really add up after a while.

There is a choice of two refills, the shaving gel or lotion (HQ70/71). I recommend the lotion, since it is better at lubricating the skin, but the shaver comes with a couple of both, so you can choose which suits best.

The only con is the trimmer included with the shaver. It might be that I just haven't got the hang of it (and its really only needed for sideburns, rather than moustaches), but it doesn't compare to the shaver itself for shaving quality.

Overall, a great product and definitely one for the Santa's wish-list!
