Men’s Electric Shaver – MAX-T Corded and Cordless Rechargeable 3D Rotary Shaver Razor for Men with Pop-up Sideburn Trimmer Wet and Dry with Wall Adapter 100-240V

Better than more expensive well-known competition
I bought this shaver over a year ago and I am writing this review now because I believe that users want to know not just how their purchase does when unboxed, but also how it performs after a period of use.I suspect that many users reading a review of a rotary-head shaver that is NOT a Philips-Norelco shaver want to know how this relatively new brand compares with that well-established one. And the answer is: pretty favourably. Indeed, it is my conclusion, after over a year of daily use, that the Max-T shaver is superior in every significant way to more expensive Philips-Norelco models.Let’s take a look.Pros• Closeness of shave. Even a year on, the Max-T shaves as close as all Philips-Norelco shavers that I have used over the years, and closer than most.• Charge use per shave. I shave my full face except for a moustache, and each shave uses about 5% of the total charge. Sometimes less. I can’t complain about that.• Charge remaining indicator. While the precision of a percent value charge remaining indicator is probably overkill, having a clear charge remaining indicator is a very useful feature that is simply not available on the lower-end, but still more expensive, competitor machines. You know, you can plan, when to charge the shaver. This avoids the embarrassment of having no charge in your shaver when you most need it to function. Additionally…• Corded operation (operation directly from the mains power). You can shave from the mains when the shaver is out of charge. This was a feature I particularly looked for in a shaver as I had experienced enough occurrences of having shavers that ran out of charge and were unable to operate – particularly base-mount shavers. Note that you can’t get the shaver to work from the mains when it is at absolutely 0% charge. You need to first charge it to 1% for operation-from-the-mains to work. This takes about a minute. I mention this so that you’ll know not to give up when the shaver at 0% charge won’t operate immediately from the mains.• Recharge time. I’ve tested this by emptying the shaver to 0% charge and recharging from there to full. It takes just under 65 minutes to get to 100% charge. This piece of information as-is isn’t useful in real-life scenarios but it does give an idea of how quickly you can rescue the shaver if it runs out of charge.• Micro-USB charger. If you travel a lot, it’s nice to have a shaver that doesn’t need a dedicated charger with that extra weight. You just use a micro-SB charger that you might have with you for another device. Since charging from empty to full takes only an hour or so, this is totally practical.• On-off button lock. You can toggle a lock on the on-off button by holding it down for three seconds. While not being absolutely foolproof, this feature greatly reduces the likelihood of your shaver being inadvertently activated while you are travelling.• Noise. The shaver is quiet. When I first switched it on I wondered if a shaver with such a gentle buzz would have the power to cut through my thick stubble. But I needn’t have worried.• Design. This is an old-school styled, corded/cordless shaver that does not have an interchangeable head. I guess this is personal preference, but I didn’t want a base-charge shaver because I wanted it to operate from the mains if necessary. And I didn’t want an interchangeable head shaver because all too often those heads come off in the middle of shaving, casting stubble dirt and shaver head parts everywhere, usually where they are hardest to reach, and usually when you are in a hurry. So the simple old-school design suits my preferences well.Cons• The three little metal logo stickers that were stuck to the centre of each shaver head have all come off, together with the little glue blobs that adhered them. This doesn’t affect the shave at all, but it does raise questions about T-Max’s quality control process. But since nothing else has gone wrong with the shaver over twelve months, I can let this go.SummaryIf you are looking for a corded/cordless shaver that does not have an interchangeable head, you can’t go wrong with the Max-T. A great value device.

I’ve shaved with disposable cartridges & cream for most of my life. I would get Sensor Excel Mach 2’s but the price is high, you need shaving cream and they lock up the cartridges a the pharmacy so it’s an extra step to ask someone for assistance to access the product.For a year I’ve been dry shaving with this device. If you let it run for a couple of minutes before you start it will warm up and it will be more pleasant when you make contact with your skin. Kind of like a massage.If you procrastinate and you’re shaving with more than stubble then you will find that the device pulls at your beard hairs and the sensation is far from pleasant. Fortunately there is a trimmer attached and you can spare yourself this fate if you do some pre-trimming before shaving (very helpful when doing the upper lip)… Or, don’t procrastinate and it won’t be an issue.They say to replace the blades every six months but you can ‘get away’ with the same ones for longer. I changed mine after about a year. I immediately noticed the difference (less pulling more cutting).Cleaning the device… While you’re shaving it’s easy enough to pop the top and tap the device to empty it. Eventually you’re going to have to unfasten the blade assembly and remove the individual shaver heads to clean the hair off them directly. When you do this, make sure you’ve put a filter on or plug your drain so the head doesn’t accidentally fall in. It’s not difficult or lengthy. Just don’t expect to have purged every piece of detritus left within. It takes less time to clean this device than the time spent tapping a cartridge razor against the side of the sink, rinsing it after every couple of strokes throughout one’s shave.Battery life is solid. I can shave and deplete only 10% of its reserves. Cord length is generous by contemporary standards.Good product compared to what it replaced (no more shaving cream, blades have longer life span than cartridges). I have zero idea of how it compares to other electric shavers but like it says in the headline, it does the job adequately.

Bought it for hubby as a Christmas gift and he absolutely loves it!! Thank you Amazon 👍🏻
