Slow charging and no trimmer

A few days ago yes, the 886 from Tesco for £40 but that offer just finished so not sure now and why I only stated the cons rather than saying avoid. That is the same shaver but with trimmer and one hour charge li-on battery as opposed to eight hours and a nimh with this one. You can get the 887 which is the same as the 886 but in blue from Boots etc for £50 currently, down from £64, but obviously that's a fair step up if that matters.

If your son has a separate trimmer already then the 899 makes much more sense, it is The one I was looking at originally for my lad until I realised what a bargain the 886 was. Obviously the actual shave will be identical between all of them :smiley:

My son has this and he says it's a good shaver.

he is only 17 its really just to tidy his bum fluff and the odd longer curly hair on his chin :confused:

also to stop him leaving his face like he has been attacked by dozens of wasps after his attempt at wet shaving :smile:

Lol... you disagree with facts :smiley:

As I said above, I didn't say avoid, I just stated the cons compared to others for those that miss that sort of thing. There's plenty of posts on here from people who've bought a 'bargain' and then been dismayed to find there's no trimmer as that is considered a fairly standard thing on a shaver.

Nimh batteries are a personal choice, the long charge times, shortish life and charge leak have put me off them if they can be avoided. They are purely a cost choice nowadays and this is a cut down, budget version of that range.

Go for it then :smiley: my choice was much the same but he's already had a cheapy and I considered this should last him well into proper beard territory so was worth the extra to me.

Good deal. Have some heat.
If you only want a dry shaver, I posted this last night.

So when you state,"no trimmer" and there is a trimmer, I think you must be getting a little confused.

Is there a trimmer or not on this razer?

No trimmer. Despite what it says on Amazon. Look at the bottom of the listing.

This is an excellent Shaver and will make a great present.

Thanks for posting grumpiness.
Mine arrived and I can confirm that it (AT899/06) does feature a flip-up trimmer.
A quick look at the Philips website indicates that the AT899/16 variant (which looks virtually identical from the front) doesn't appear to feature.Maybe the reviews have been consolidated for the two similar product variants.
